Megan Thee Stallion continues to blaze a trail like no other.
Because the Hot Girl Coach has inked a seismic one-of-a-kind deal with Warner Music Group; one that will see her retain ownership of her artistry in a major way.
Riding high on the success of her viral smash ‘Hiss,’ the femcee has signed a distribution deal with Warner Music.
Many will recall that Megan has been a free agent since October 2023 after finally being legally liberated from the controversial contract she was in with 1501 Entertainment.
Per the terms of the new pact with Warner, the rapper will retain ownership of her masters and publishing while releasing material via her own imprint Hot Girl Productions, and receiving label distribution services from the industry juggernaut.
And while the star previously worked with Warner (by way of 300 Entertainment) for distribution during her 1501 tenure, industry analysts in unison say the new terms are unprecedented.
Recent releases ‘Cobra’ and ‘Hiss’ arrived as part of the deal.
Toasting the news, Megan said:
“Thank you GOD 🙏🏽 Hotties today HISSTORY was made !!! Today I signed a distribution deal with my new family Warner Music where I maintain my INDEPENDENCE as an artist and OWN MY MASTERS AND PUBLISHING. This is thee first deal of its kind!!! I hope artists still on the come up or even artists who are already established never get discouraged by all the obstacles that come with this industry! Even with all the odds against me I fought for MYSELF, the hotties fought for me and Roc Nation fought for me!!! I’m forever grateful!!! Let’s REALLY KEEP RUNNING IT UP HOTTIES! Shout out to MAMA HOLLY I know she’s guiding me through all this 💙 #HOTGIRLPRODUCTIONS.”
WMG Recorded Music CEO Max Lousada (photographed above with Megan and her team) said in a statement:
“Meg is not just a superstar. She’s an artistic force and a mogul in the making – authentic and unapologetic in defining her own unique place in the cultural landscape. So many relate to her remarkable story and have witnessed her come into her power on her own terms. At Warner, we’re creating an environment where original talents can explore both their creativity and entrepreneurialism, while building long-term careers.”
Major! Congrats!
