Megan Thee Stallion Now Demanding $1 Million USD in Lawsuit Against 1501 Certified Entertainment
Shortly after releasing her latest album Traumazine, Megan Thee Stallion is now seeking $1 million USD in monetary damages as she deals with a lawsuit against her record label 1501 Certified Entertainment. The amended complaint obtained by Rolling Stone states that the artist is seeking $1 million USD in damages after initially asking for non-monetary relief when the suit was filed in February, claiming that the minimum amount stems from 1501 refusing to give Megan her share of royalties from her music. She’s also asking a Harris County judge to classify both Traumazine and her October 2021 project Something for Thee Hotties as “an ‘album’ as defined in the parties’ recording agreement,” confirming that she “has satisfied all option periods” in the recording contract she signed in 201...
