Megan Thee Stallion had a lot to say about her ongoing legal battle with her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment.
To celebrate the release of her EP SUGA on Friday (March 6), Meg stopped by The Breakfast Club to discuss her new music, the one time she went to Beyoncé's house for a pajama party, and, of course, her legal drama with 1501.
To get you caught up on that last part, here's a quick recap:
The 25-year-old rapper was granted a temporary restraining order against her label earlier this week that allowed her to release new music on Friday despite her label's CEO Carl Crawford filing an emergency motion to stop her from doing so. Meg's lawsuit came a day after she took to Instagram Live over the weekend to call out the label for they're preventing her from releasing new music because she asked to renegotiate her contract.
Now that you're somewhat caught up on all the drama, let's get into what Megan had to say about it.
"I'm not trying to get released from my contract," she clarified. "I just wanted to renegotiate some things in my contract." Megan added, "A lot of things I can't say because it's legal, I have to handle it in court. But, things are public information."
While the "B.I.T.C.H." rapper couldn't get into the intricate details of her ongoing legal battle with the record label, she did chronicle the events leading up to their legal dispute, telling the radio hosts, she was first signed to 1501 by Carl and T-Farris. However, she noted that she became closer to T-Farris because he was so "supportive" of her and her music. Though, she did credit Carl for helping her as well, saying he would join her studio sessions from "time to time" and handled getting her music played on radio stations.
"When things started taking off it would be me, my mom, and T-Farris. So when we would be on the road that was the team," Meg explained. "When things started picking up even more, I got signed with 300 [Entertainment] so I really just didn't see nobody from 1501 that much."
The "Hot Girl Summer" rapper was then asked if she felt that things began to spiral when she signed to Roc Nation late last year, to which she responded, "no." Adding that she wasn't talking to 1501 at the time she signed with Roc. "Roc Nation don't have nothing to do with what we were already going through," Meg said. "I don't like that people bring up Jay-Z— [he's] not worried about them... I feel like [people] are just trying to draw attention to the situation."
Meg also addressed her Instagram Live session, saying it was it long time coming. "I was at a point where I was already frustrated and then when I found out I couldn't drop any new music, I was like, 'I might as well say something now. Y'all ain't letting me drop music so I might as well tell people why I can't drop it,'" she shared.
"Facts are public. I don't have to lie," the Houston rapper continued. "I feel like people want to bully me, but I didn't do nothing to y'all so I really don't understand where it's coming from."
As for Roc Nation's involvement in the drama, Meg explained that when she "finally got real lawyers" they told her somethings in her contract are "unconscionable in the state of Texas."
"So it's like, let's just fix the stuff that is wrong," she said.
When asked what she's looking for in a contract, Meg admitted that she just wants "it to be fair."
"I want it to be good for everybody," she added. "Nothing is going to be perfect, but if we can both come to an agreement. You got to give a little to get a little." Meg also noted that she's not upset about her 40% profit share, saying "that's really not the highlight of what my problem is, but I can't talk about [what my problem is] right now."
As for her drama with Rap-a-Lot Records founder J. Prince — in her lawsuit, Meg claimed that Carl has been using his relationship with J. to intimidate people in the industry — Meg said, "that's something I definitely can't talk about, but I don't lie."
Despite the legal drama, Megan told the hosts that she was still very much so excited about the release of her EP, SUGA, which she explained is another one of her personas. "SUGA is a girl who's going through it but she's getting through it. It's me letting people know, I'm not perfect. I'm human. I know I be f**king up, but I'm trying," Megan shared.
