AceShowbiz - Megan Thee Stallion is setting the record straight. The "Savage" hitmaker has turned to her Twitter account to share court documents when squashing inaccurate report about her legal battle with her label 1501 Certified Entertainment.
On Thursday, November 3, the Houston Hottie slammed hip-hop blog Fck Yaya for sharing a legal document indicating a judge had ruled in favor of 1501 and its owner Carl Crawford, determining "Something for Thee Hotties" did not meet the definition of a 45-minute album.
"The recording known as 'Something for Thee Hotties' does not meet plaintiff/counter-defendant Megan Pete's p/k/a/ Megan Thee Stallion 'minimum recording commitment' or 'product commitment' for the second option period under the contracts between the parties," the document read. "Plaintiff/counter-defendant Megan Pete's p/k/a Megan Thee Stallion has not yet satisfied her 'minimum recording commitment' or 'product commitment' for the third option period under the contracts between the parties."
Megan caught wind of the report and immediately pointed out that the court has yet to make a summary judgment. "No judge has ruled anything abt this 1501 case, this information is not accurate," she tweeted. "The court date for this isn't even until DECEMBER 12TH…we HAVE NOT went to court and got a summary judgment. Please stop spreading misinformation thanks."
As she's gearing up for her upcoming Prime Video live performance, Megan also complained that there's much more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye. "On a daily basis lol the men over in that camp haven't been clearing my music to be synced anywhere (shows, movies, etc) so I ALMOST couldn't even do my Amazon performance tonight!" she wrote.
Meg later wondered why everyone seemed to be "so hype for negative news" and proceeded to post proof that the aforementioned ruling had been voided. "Not that the truth ever matters to the people who hate on me for engagements online," she noted, "but Notice of VOID thanks to the COURT for clarifying a mistake."
The notice of void judgment read, "On November 2nd, 2022, the court entered a judgment/order on a summary judgment motion that had not been heard and was not ripe for consideration or ruling. On November 3rd, 2022, having become aware of the erroneous judgment/order, the issue was brought to the clerk of the court...the court rendered the 'judgment/order' void."
Shortly after Meg released the legal docs, one Twitter user pointed at a typo on it. "Damn this court needs to get their act together writing 2002 instead of 2022," wrote the said person. In response, the "Traumazine" star explained, "They were rushing im assuming bc it was a mistake lol but it's public info , just how someone pulled the initial inaccurate doc they can go pull the CORRECT one."
Megan sued 1501 Certified Entertainment, the Houston-based record label that signed her in 2018, for $1 million earlier this year. The 27-year-old Grammy-winning rapper claimed that her most recent releases, "Something for Thee Hotties" and "Traumazine", fulfilled her contractual obligations and permitted her to cut ties with the imprint.
1501 and its owner, ex-professional baseball player Carl, argued that October 2021's "Something for Thee Hotties" did not count toward Megan's contract quota, as it only contained 29 minutes of original material.
