Megan Thee Stallion sued by 1501 Certified Entertainment
Megan Thee Stallion and Houston-based 1501 Certified Entertainment, haven’t seen eye-to-eye at all, over the last several years. Megan has claimed on multiple occasions, that CEO Carl Crawford wouldn’t let her release new music. It got to a point in February 2020, where Meg had to get a court order, to release her “Suga” EP.
Now, 1501 is suing Megan, as they claim her “Something For Thee Hotties” album, which was released last fall, didn’t count as a final album. The belief is that this project contained old material, including freestyles. Megan supposedly owes the label more music and money, too. This comes after Megan sued 1501 in February, claiming that this “album” fulfilled her obligations.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Something For Thee Hotties is labeled as being “made up of 21 recordings and includes spoken interlude recordings on which Megan Thee Stallion does not appear as well as several previously-released recordings.” But, with project being only 29 minutes long, also isn’t classifying it as an album. Megan is said to have been made aware that an album must contain “new master recordings of studio performances.”
However, if a judge rules in 1501’s favor, Megan would owe them two more albums. She has been signed to this label, since she was 20-years-old. They are also looking into “collaborations, sponsorships, endorsements, and side engagements” that Megan worked on, which possibly earned over $1 million. A percentage of that would be owed to 1501. Her recent collab was last a few weeks ago, after appearing on Dua Lipa’s “Sweetest Pie” single.
