Megan Thee Stallion Files Lawsuit Against Her Record Label

This restraining order will also seek to prevent the label from attacking her on social media (more on that in a sec).

The lawsuit spells out what Megan considers to be the worst parts of the deal she has with 1501. She says that she got a $10,000 advance when she signed, and that the label gets 60 percent of her recording income. Of the 40 percent she gets she still has to pay engineers, mixers, and other artists who are featured on the tracks. 

She also has an issue with income from live gigs, which she claims are more beneficial to the label than they are to her.

She further says in her suit that money from touring and performances goes directly to 1501. Megan says they’re supposed to give her a statement for what she’s owed, but that their accounting has been “purposefully and deceptively vague.” 

She also says that Crawford has utilized a relationship he has with J. Prince, Rap-a-Lot Records’ founder, for the purpose of intimidating those within the industry. The suit specifically claims that Crawford pressured a producer to give him beats because Prince would be pissed if he didn’t. Megan further believes that Prince has played a role in a smear campaign against her, with the recent resurfacing of a five-year-old arrest being an example of that alleged campaign.
