Megan Thee Stallion Reveals New Details About Upcoming Project
Megan Thee Stallion is fully independent. The rapper, who was previously signed to 1501 Entertainment, will be releasing new music but on her own terms and with her own coins.
“This part of my album is very much so funded by Megan Thee Stallion because we’re trying to get off… Y’all know what’s the tea. But I have no label right now,” she explained on Instagram Live. “We’re doing everything funded straight out of Megan Thee Stallion’s pockets. So, the budget is coming from me. Motherf—ing Hot Girl Productions! The next s— y’all about to see is all straight from Megan Thee Stallion’s brain and Megan Thee Stallion’s wallet. We are in my pockets, hotties, so let’s do our big one.”
“It’s really just me this go around until we sign to a new label. But I don’t want to sign to a new label right now because I just want to do it myself,” she shared.
Megan’s Battle With Her Label
It is no secret that Megan did not have the best relationship with her label. For two years, Megan and 1501 have been very publically battling. Ultimately Megan finished out her contractual obligations and left. However, it just wasn’t that simple. Last year, the two butted heads on what was considered an “album” after the rapper dropped Something For Thee Hotties back in October 2021. In a December 2022 ruling, a judge ruled that both Something For The Hotties and her August 2022 LP Traumazine, were contractually considered full-length projects, thus completing her obligations with the label.
This announcement comes after Megan posted a cryptic social media post hinting at starting a new era. The Houston Hottie posted three photos in a row on her Instagram that when you click on her page it reads “Act One.” Each photo has a caption with a carousel of photos that appear to be snippets from an upcoming music video.
