As you all know things are not good between Megan Thee Stallion and her label 1501. Earlier this week she filed a lawsuit against the label, and she was also granted a temporary restraining order that would allow her to release new music.
Yesterday, Megan announced her new project “Suga,” which is scheduled to drop tomorrow, Friday, March 6hth. Carl Crawford, the head of the label, had filed for a motion on Wednesday with hopes of dissolving the restraining order so she couldn’t drop any new music.
According to TMZ, the judge has sided with Megan and rejected 1501’s motion to dissolve the restraining order, which means she can drop her new project on Friday.
As we previously reported, Carl did an interview with Billboard and discussed the issues with Megan and the lawsuit that she filed against the label. He said, “Let’s talk about your contract. It’s a great contract for a first-timer. What contract gives parts of their masters and 40% royalties and all that kind of stuff? Ask Jay-Z to pull one of his artists’ first contracts, and let’s compare it to what Megan got… I guarantee they won’t ever show you that.”
J Prince who is an associate of Carl Crawford addressed his name being mentioned in the lawsuit and shared his stance on the situation.
He said in a social media post, “BREAKING NEWS ALERT‼️Houston we have a problem, Megan, along with Roc Nation Employee Geetanjali Grace Lyer decided to include my name in a lawsuit wrapped around lies and stupidity. We gone get this sh*t straight.”
He continued, “Now let’s deal with the root of this issue. The root is a familiar one for me coming from a successful independent record labels perspective. We as independent record labels make many sacrifices along with our artists. After we do all the hard work together with artists, it’s a known fact that major record labels and established managers attempt to poach the fruits of our labor.”
