Megan Thee Stallion and 1501 Certified Entertainment’s legal squabble isn’t going away anytime soon, as the label has now countersued Meg. It contends that her 2021 release Something for Thee Hotties was not an album and should not be included in their contractual agreement.

The countersuit was filed on Monday, as originally reported by TMZ and verified by court records examined by Complex, a month after Megan sued the corporation, alleging the project was truly an album. Something for Thee Hotties, according to Carl Crawford’s 1501, is a compilation of earlier work “made up of 21 recordings and includes spoken interlude recordings on which MTS does not appear as well as several previously-released recordings.”

According to the label, the project comprises 29 minutes of new material by Megan Thee Stallion and “was described in the music press as a compilation record of archival materials and some new recordings.” If a judge rules that Something does not count toward her contract, she will have to pay the label for two more albums.

“This is yet another absurd attempt by 1501 to disregard Megan’s album and squeeze more money and more free work out of her for as long as possible. We will ask the court to protect Megan from this type of abuse,” Megan’s attorney Brad Hancock said in response to Complex’s request for comment.

The label claims that it “only learned of the release hours before it came out,” in the new suit, which was signed by Steven Zager, Lohr Beck, and Lauren Newman of King & Spalding LLP, and that her latest “lawsuit is groundless because, as she knows, Something for The Hotties does not meet the requirements of an ‘album’ under the three contracts that she has signed with 1501.”

Something “clearly meets the definition of ‘Album’ under the recording agreement because it is not less than forty-five (45) minutes in length,” according to Meg’s prior complaint, filed on Feb. 18.

“There are no other parameters or requirements under the contract for what can be deemed an ‘Album’ other than total run time of the album,” the claim states. “As such, Something for Thee Hotties satisfies her ‘Minimum Recording Commitment’ for the second option period of the agreement. To protect herself, her music, and her artistic choices, Pete has been forced to bring this action to seek a declaratory judgment to that effect.”

Megan answered the countersuit on Twitter, writing, “First the man over my label said I don’t make him any money … now he counter suing trying to keep me on his label because he wants to make more money lol if I ain’t making you no money why not just drop me?”

She went on to say that she’s “tired of being painted the BAD GUY 2/47” and that Carl “put his jewelry and chains” on an expense report for money spent on her. “Lord free me from this joke ass label.” Her tweets are included below.

Megan returned to Twitter a short time later to label Crawford a “powder head” who was “hiding behind” music executive J. Prince.

“Carl I don’t wanna be signed to yo pill-popping ass! You talking abt I ain’t paid for a show and you sound slow,” she wrote. “I’m the artist I don’t pay you directly maybe fight with THE MAN YOU SIGNED TO AND YOU MIGHT SEE SOME MONEY YOU FUCKING POWDER HEAD! You hiding behind JPRINCE.”

In another tweet, she went after Crawford, stating, “Carl you got a wholeeee contact with 300 and talking shit to me like I got yo fucking money! You are ATTACKING ME ..why? Bc you want to be FAMOUS NOT RICH. Ask KEVIN LILES WHERE YO MONEY AT STUPID.”

Megan addressed her Roc Nation contract in another tweet, writing, “People love bringing up roc nation like hell yeah my team is great am I supposed to have a bad one?… and what abt it bitch.”

Megan concluded her string of tweets by declaring she will not be “speaking to nobody else on here ..see y’all in court.”

Meg and 1501 have been at odds for several years, as she previously petitioned a judge to terminate her contract with the label and alleged in March 2020 that 1501 was restricting her from sharing new content.
