Megan Thee Stallion has claimed that her record label is sabotaging her promising career after she asked to renegotiate her contract.
A disconcerting story below…
The rapper took to social media to reveal that her career has been stifled because of a legal spat with the managerial team at 1501.

She went public with the problem shortly after her project ‘Fever’ generated sales of over 500,000 units worldwide, and revealed that she only noticed there were issues with her contract after the team over at Roc Nation pointed them out to her.
I’m nice and I’m real family oriented but people will be greedy and shady.
She explained that she hoped 1501 would amend the issues and was stunned when, as far as she sees it, put plans in place to stifle her progress in the music industry.
Dam she’s 24 she looks so much older than me…..
There is nothing different about her and other female rappers..naked b*** and chest..twerking
25
It’s time to stop glorifying getting a bag and glorifying reading contracts! So the bag stayed secured! We too educated to be in s**** contracts or checking people who pay to do thinGs for us.
Amen ! Say it again for the people still in the back
FACTS
‼️‼️
That what happens when u sign to an independent wasn’t she bragging bout being on independent so this would explain why her recent singles flopped
Read your damn contracts and make clear of your demands before signing s*** PERIOD ? it’s not just the labels but artists that aren’t use to s*** but upfront money and false hopes with stardom
Nicki did it
Lord ??♀️?
Nicki helped her career, so get over it.
I don’t think this should be public information. There are people who should be handling this behind the scenes.
To all these upcoming artists no matter the genre just simply read the f****** contract and with a professional legal lawyer – make clear of your demands and negotiate them – royalties publishing catalog fashion the entire brand of your image – it’s not too hard to discuss. These people claim to be bosses but are mere puppets having their strings pulled by the real bosses they have no choice but to answer. Another prime example of why it’s still important to read books ? and beware how history can repeat itself if you allow it too – ex : Motown, Bad Boys, Sony, ect
A lot of times the label sets the artist with a lawyer who is working in favor of the label. Also a lot of entertainment lawyers won’t take on new clients unless they have a referral. So the New artist still can’t get a lawyer who is impartial and they have a lawyer working for the label
New artists are scared if they make too many demands, they will lose the deal, that’s why they sign immediately without making demands.
Some of these artistes are so poor, they come from poor families, some are even homeless, so when label executives offer them 3 or 4 million dollars on the spot, they sign immediately without even checking or going thru the contract.
Can u blame them, they’ve never seen that kind of huge amount of money before, so they sign.
This happens far too often with artists, especially young women. They see dollar signs and immediately sign their lives away, not knowing what the future holds. Kash Doll went through the same thing and by the time her legal battle ended she had lost ALL momentum.

Dumb àss, u signed something u didnt read
All these girls who claim to be bad bìtches are usually the dumbest people on the planet.
Big bùtt small brains.
I can bet she’s only getting 5 percent of sales of her music or something ridiculous like this.
After twerking and exposing ur body, ur making less than a school teacher
?????????
If anyone is sabotaging your career Meg, it’s nicki
I think Nomani is sabotaging her career. Gurl, after you attach yourself to that flop bish, you started to get bad luck. Nicki is a legend and Normani is a flop and will always be.
I can bet the contract has probably tying her up for several years with that label.
Maybe she has do 10 albums for the label before they release her from the contract
This is the same shìt kesha signed.
Dr. Luke didnt ràpe her
She signed a bad contract.
10 whole albums, who got time for that.
That’s why she came up with all sorts of allegations to get out of that contract.
Kesha and her mother threatened dr. Luke, that if he doesn’t release Kesha from her 10 album contract, they will make ràpe allegations against him.
Oh no! How will I ever go on??? She sucks.
Compare to nicki and cardi, she’s nothing special…..
Another mistake these new artists keep making, they alway think these record executives are family .
Gurl, they are not ur family
The music industry is a business, there is no family in business.
Never take these record executives as family, cause they are not.
Their goal is to make money nothing else.
Record executives are not ur friends. they dont have ur back.
This is what happened to kelis, she thought pharrell was her friend and he would split the revenue from the album sales equally with her, but he didnt cause that was not what was in the contract.
He didnt give her shìt
Same with maze, he thought diddy was family and he tried to buy his music back from diddy but diddy refused cause a white man was offering more money for mazes music.
There is no friendship in business. Especially when huge sums of money are involved.
Lawyer up alway
Get a Jewish lawyer, they are the best.
Smh I feel bad for her. She has alot of fans & support, But I felt something was blocking her. It all makes sense now. READ YOUR CONTRACTS PEOPLE!! Music industry is a BUSINESS, Not A FAMILY MEGAN!
Easier said than done especially when you’re a 20 year old starving artist. This story is way too common. Megan won’t be the first nor the last to sign a bad contract.
She will get bought out of her contract! she’s good!! this happens constantly unfortunately. https://youtu.be/TzyYbtwtKgc
I wonder if she’ll be forever tied to Roc then?
Megan horse stallion is nobody is always will be. I see love and hip hop in future. The kids isn’t here for your annoying rapping. We gon toss you out just like we did to remy. Don’t blame your contracts and guys for your failing career. thank u next ?????
Please read your comments before you post them. Wtf are you even saying? It was like 7 sucker punches to the chest.
I’m not shocked. Some people are wanting to be in the industry they will sign whatever. She probably has Joseline/Stevie J type of contract where he owns everything she does or a cash money type of contact where birdman will forever get paid for lil wayne, drake and Nicki.
Hahahahahahaha
Stupid Camicky was dropped from her label
????????????????????
Shows you how the money pumped in is not enough.
Got to read the contracts carefully or get someone who is really good at things like that, them contracts will turn you into a s**** and a poppet to these people. sorry to hear that happened to her, hope she resolves this some how asap.
By her lack of versatility, yes.
When you brag about being indie but thy still play you.
Danm she always bragging about being smart but didn’t read her own contract!
why you been going to school then to be dumb!
Exactly
What a dumb ass who is allowed to re negotiate a contract when u still in one she thought cause she more famous she could do that so arrogant smh them people shut her ass way down ?
Another black female playing victim when things don’t go her way, I’m so bored of this dumb sh|t.
