Megan Thee Stallion has been a fixture in the headlines this week after launching a legal battle against her first label, who she says have her signed to unfathomable terms.

With the case seemingly evolving by the hour, the femcee stopped by Hot 97 to address the drama and more.

Sitting down with Ebro and Laura Stylez, the rapper says she’s simply seeking fairer terms and added “I don’t want to be treated like a slave.”

She also spilled on incoming project ‘SUGA’ – which clarified to be an EP, not her debut album.

All this and more after the jump…

As if reaching its peak on U.S. charts this week wasn’t enough (click here to read more on that), Camila Cabello‘s latest hit – ‘My Oh My’ – is looking to see that response echoed worldwide as evidenced by a number of global pushes for the DaBaby-assisted tune.

Most recently taking to London’s Eventim Apollo Hammersmith for the 2020 Global Awards, the Pop star showcased the Frank Dukes-produced cut with a brigade of dancers and high octane choreography.

Donning a sexy plaid schoolgirl outfit, Cabello – who just rang in her 23rd birthday with a ‘Cinderella’-themed surprise party from boyfriend Shawn Mendes – was also on hand to receive another gift:  the “Best Female Act” Global Award.

Danity Kane duo Dawn Richard and Aubrey O’Day have poured out a new mini-project named ‘Strawberry Milk.’

Comprised of two tracks – ‘Boy Down’ and ‘Fly’ – the set is the first with this particular configuration of the group.

It’s not immediately clear if the release forms part of a broader plan or if it’s a one-off from two of DK’s most prominent members.

Thanks to new single, ‘Never Worn White,’ Katy Perry is seeing her name colored atop a number of iTunes sales tallies across the globe.

Released just yesterday (March 4), buzz for the song’s official accompanying visual was heightened when it was rumored to feature footage of the Pop singer’s growing baby bump – a murmur put to rest and confirmed by the time the J.A.C.K.-directed clip arrived to YouTube.

Yet, while the video amassed a whopping 6 million views in less than 24 hours (making it the day’s most trending media on the platform), its mention at number 1 doesn’t end with that list.

“Tried to be myself but they won’t AKA me, AKA a pop star AKA a problem.”

The inspiration behind the quote above, lifted from Tinashe‘s 2018 tune, ‘No Drama,’ continues to be a talking point for the songstress despite having established herself as one of Urban music’s most consistent stage-blazers.

Speaking on the topic of ‘being pitted against every Black girl [in the industry],’ the 27-year-old – rocking a Janet Jackson t-shirt – took to E! News’ ‘Just the Sip’ to dish on “stan culture” and how comparisons to the likes of Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Cassie, Jhené Aiko, FKA Twigs, and more have plagued different junctures of her career.

Elsewhere in the candid sit-down with Justin Sylvester, she also addressed her former label woes, the joys of being an independent artist, and so much more.

Megan Thee Stallion will be trotting to digital record shelves Friday (March 6) with her long-awaited EP, ‘Suga,’ thanks to a recent decision rendered by a Texas judge denying her label’s attempt to block it.

As we previously reported, Carl Crawford – CEO of Stallion’s label home (1501 Certified Entertainment) – took to the courts to reverse the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker’s temporary restraining order against him and the imprint.  Despite a clause in her contract expressly requiring her to get the company’s approval before releasing new music, the restraining order allows her to bypass the condition to release music without his consent.

The 25-year-old isn’t wasting any time celebrating the win, as evidenced by a recent Instagram post.

Over it is a pretty accurate description of how breakout R&B star Summer Walker is feeling after being slammed for what many are deeming xenophobic remarks related to the coronavirus epidemic.

Earlier this week (March 3), the 23-year-old was the brunt of backlash after taking to Instagram to repost a fake video that depicted people in China intentionally spreading the disease.  Alongside the visual she commented:

“That’s some trifling nasty a** s**t.”

TeaMarrr is the latest name to make a splash live on That Grape Juice!

The rising star is the first artist signed to Issa Rae‘s new record label Raedio – which she launched in 2019 alongside Atlantic Records.

And it’s more than clear why the gifted singer attracted the attention of Rae and countless others in the music industry.

In an arena that routinely churns out more of the same, TeaMarrr defines individual. From her incredible voice, to her striking look, her quirky candor, and her hyper-frank lyrics.

With Raedio serving as a top priority for Rae (who is gearing up to leverage her reach across TV and film towards the venture) expect to see a whole lot more from TeaMarrr, who just wrapped a critically acclaimed stint opening for SiR.

In the here and now, watch her perform current single ‘Kinda Love’ (which is set to receive a D Smoke remix) right here on TGJ above.
