Megan Thee Stallion is filing for $1 million in relief from her record label
The rapper alleges that her label said Something For Thee Hotties didn't count as an album under the stipulations of her contract; she disagrees
Aux News Megan Thee Stallion
Sometimes even the hottest of girls must navigate decidedly non-thot shit: that is to say, even Megan Thee Stallion has to negotiate her contract. Following the release of her latest album Traumazine, the rapper (real name Megan Pete) is reportedly filing for $1 million in relief from the label, citing a recording contract the rapper and her team call unconscionable.
“Over the past two (2) years, Pete and 1501 shared a long and tortured history of disputes with each other concerning Pete’s recording agreement, including the unconscionability of the agreement in its original form, as well as disputes concerning the release of Pete’s music,” the statement reads, per People.
Per the filing, the label argued that Pete’s recent EP Something For Thee Hotties did not meet her “Minimum Recording Commitment” due to its use of archival material and spoken word interludes.
“1501's new position, taken months after the album’s release, is clearly a ruse in an effort to try to take further advantage of Pete, at great expense and in bad faith,” the complaint continues.
Pete’s attorneys’ feelings on the position are about as clear as feelings come, but 1501 attorney Steven M. Zager tells People that in the company’s humble conglomerate opinion, Pete owes them “one more album, at least.” Although Zager said the label is “evaluating” Pete’s most recent drop Traumazine for album criteria, there is “no way” Something For Thee Hotties meets the definition of album outlined in her 1501 contract.
“For a host of reasons, we feel that our position is justified and based on the contracts. We’ve tried to work with Megan, and we want Megan to be successful,” Zager concluded.
It’s hard to imagine Pete is on board with 1501's described position, especially given the fact that the rapper already spoke out in 2020 about the label allegedly refusing to allow Pete to release music. Pete first signed with 1501 when she was just 20 years old.
“Soon as I said, ‘I want to renegotiate my contract,’ everything went left,” Pete said at the time during a live Instagram broadcast. “It just all went bad. It all went left. So now they’re telling a bitch that she can’t drop no music.” Holding up the world’s access to Pete’s gritty big-boss anthems, then maligning them as not constituting an album when they are released? Not very hot behavior, not very hot behavior at all.

“the rapper (real name Megan Pete) is”
I thought you only slate the real/given/legal name when they’re up on charges.

Why’s that?
I don’t know.
Pretty much any legal news notes the real name for a celebrity that goes by a stage name so that interested people can follow the court documents.
Yea I understand that part, I’m asking why the OP thought they ONLY do it for legal stuff and not normal stuff
OP was making a possibly racist joke implying that rappers only have legal issues when they’re charged with crimes. But rappers and other celebrities who use stage names aren’t often identified by their legal names in the news unless it’s in a legal context. Or if someone’s being interviewed who refers to the celebrity by their real name, for clarity. I’d imagine most of them would prefer to publicize their brand, find their real name embarrassing, difficult to pronounce or something similar.
Given that the article later quotes the legal filings that use her legal name, this upfront identification is rather crucial for the article.
Pretty sure that once their real name is attached to publically filed court documents, it’s fair game.
record labels truly seem like the devil sometimes.
Like, they are, but artists also know (or should know), what they are getting into. The contracts will cleary state numerous things and when you are a nobody just trying to make it, you see dollar signs, you sign without thinking/reading/negotiating. Then you end up being one of the lucky ones that does make it, think you have power because of your new found fame/status but your label goes “should have read the contract”.Labels are horrible leeches within the industry but people should also be held to account for contracts they sign. No one forced her to sign that contract, she could have negotiated or done the independent route. She didn’t, it is what it is.
but also you’re taking often broke artists who cannot afford independent legal advice, and who don’t understand all the technicalities. you can say people should be held accountable to contracts, but lots of times the record companies are knowingly taking advantage of someone.
And a good lawyer could demolish your argument too. Get your paper, girl. Demand 2 mil.
No, the Devil is in Ohio fiddling with Zooey’s sister.
Why the “thee”, incidentally? Is she a big fan of garage rock?
