Megan Thee Stallion Files Lawsuit Against Her Record Label

Megan Thee Stallion has filed another lawsuit against her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. 

The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, filed a complaint in the Harris County District Court last Friday, “seeking a declaration that her album, Something For Thee Hotties constituted an ‘album’ as defined in the parties’ recording agreement”.

The rapper claims that her label is attempting to keep her locked into a contract by not acknowledging her recent compilation as an album.

Additionally, according to a source who spoke to Billboard, Megan would be legally required to release just one more album with 1501 if they recognised Something For Thee Hotties as an album.

“1501’s new position, taken months after the album’s release, is clearly a ruse in an effort to try to take further advantage of Pete, at great expense and not in good faith,” the rapper’s lawyers said in the filing.

An attorney for 1501 has since denied the allegations in the lawsuit, telling Billboard that Megan’s contract gave the label oversight over what would count as an “album” for contractual purposes.

“She can’t just deliver us an album that we did not approve and then claim it satisfies her recording contract,” lawyer Steven M. Zager said.
