Megan Thee Stallion sues her label for the second time
Houston, Texas – Megan Thee Stallion is once again suing her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment.
Tensions are growing between Megan and her label, and she's taking legal action.
According to Pitchfork, the Houston native is alleging that her label isn't allowing her to fulfill the terms of her contract.
She is seeking a ruling for her November 2021 record, Something for Thee Hotties, to be labelled as an album.
In the suit, the rapper claims that 1501 Certified Entertainment notified her two months after its release that the 21-track record did not meet the definition of an "album", and thus didn't satisfy her contract's minimum recording commitment.
The Hot Girl Summer music artist argued that the only guideline in her contract regarding albums was that the runtime must be at least 45 minutes, which Something for Thee Hotties satisfies.
In terms of resolution, Megan is seeking a non-monetary judgement that declares the album is in fact, an album, and therefore satisfies the terms of her contract.
This is the second time the 27-year-old has sued her label.
In March 2020, she took to Instagram Live to air out her grievances with 1501 Certified Entertainment, alleging the label wouldn't let her release new music.
"Soon as I said, ‘I want to renegotiate my contract,’ everything went left," Megan said in the video.
This led to the rapper filing a lawsuit against the label to get out of her contract, but was instead awarded a temporary restraining order against them, allowing her to release her EP, Suga.
Megan is still currently signed to 1501 Certified Entertainment.
1501 Certified Entertainment has not publicly commented on the lawsuit, nor has Megan Thee Stallion.
