Megan Thee Stallion Goes on ESPN to Rep Houston and Casually Shade Label Exec Carl Crawford
By Amanda Gordon
Megan Thee Stallion took to ESPN, a natural platform for any rising musical artist, to chat about her faith in the Houston Rockets’ postseason performance. But for those abreast of her recent record-label drama, the ESPN talk-show appearance was also a sly takedown of 1501 Certified Entertainment label CEO Carl Crawford, a former MLB star, on his own turf. After suing the label, which she claims paid her 40 percent of the income from her recordings and prevented her from putting out new music while she attempted to renegotiate her contract, the Texas rapper is now free to release her next project, Suga, this Friday. In the lawsuit, Megan also alleges that Rap-A-Lot Records founder James “J.” Prince attempted to intimidate artists on Crawford’s behalf. J. Prince took to Instagram, posting a picture with Carl Crawford and denying the accusation. He also says Megan and her mom, the late rapper Holly Thomas, negotiated “a good deal” with 1501 Certified Entertainment.
But Megan will hear none of it. When asked on ESPN about navigating a male-dominated industry, she said she demands respect. “I’m not scared to back down and, at the end of the day, I want to be treated how you want me to treat you,” she says. She also revealed in the interview that her new album features “a whole lot of hot-girl stuff” and takes its title from her new persona. “Suga, she’s more like, ‘I know I mess up sometimes. I’m not perfect. I’m not trying to be perfect, but I’m trying.’” We’re ready for whatever hot, inspirationally imperfect music Megan is preparing to serve us.
Update, 1:50 p.m. ET: Following her First Take appearance, Megan took to Instagram to drive her point home, responding to Crawford and 1501’s loss in court. “I will stand up for myself and won’t allow two men to bully me, I am NO ONES PROPERTY,” she wrote, proceeding to list three facts about her case: She claims that 1501 is refusing to grant her the budget to release Suga despite the judge granting its release; that 1501 tried to block the release entirely but she “prevailed”; and that 1501 tried again to have her restraining order dissolved but the motion was denied. She continues, “Respect my deceased mother, she’s not here, you don’t know her, you weren’t involved … Carl should speak for himself.”
Just like I thought she making her rounds in the media to win the PR battle to sway public opinion in her favor.
She’s a talentless thot going up against J Prince. This shit was over before it got started.
To me, All this sound like a Publicity Stunt to sell albums.. 
Your post just goes to show that we have become too involved beyond the music of an artist.

I mean, it's ain't like her singles are doing what they need to do garner excitement for an actual "album". If it bricks, then what good is she really. And an album rollout is way more costly than a mixtape release. Don't have to grease palms for people to obsess online over label drama. And if it gets her enough pub, and gets her to Roc Nation/300 with 1501 out of the picture, then all is good for who wants her.
The whole thing could be the Inception (the movie) of flim-flams.

Jokin
I know..had to put it out there.. brah..lol
How Jprince gets involved in this shit? she better let that shit ride and don't even bother taking it to court because she'll just be wasting her time.
Jprince is a business man and he'll sit down with her ,that 40% might be able to be knocked down but someone has to cut a check right now for a few millions which she will owe back,if she sells enough to do that.
Time is against em all....wait to long and people will forget and move on.

Tell em.. Mayne
Bro, she's managed by Roc Nation. J can't fuck with the Roc homie.
Sound like she trying to roll wit da roc
you only loyal till you not in the game. That go Both ways.
And love of a bitch is a downfall. Mashing on a bitch is a come up.
Im done with ESPN. This aint shit but a shakedown. ESPN would take the word of a STRIPPER and a FORMER DRUG DEALER over a former ATHLETE that earned the large sum of his money as honest as can be.
Take these suckas to court and call them out for the fucking snakes that they are. Its straight BS that the white media wants to take sides and use the simple fact that Carl WAS a baseball player to air out a fucking legal issue. The dumb bitch is on national TV lying and slandering 1501.
If the Roc is her rep then lets include them on a $20 mil libel case. They can't coach the stupid out that bitch on a court stand. She'd be begging to go back to the pole so she could pay her lawyer bill she cant fuck off. Back stabbing black women are the worse.
All those butt fucked fags in the industry deserve each other. Brunches for EVERYONE!!! NYC has fucking felll off. White parties with Puffy GHB'ing folks and bitch ass brunches catered by white people. I wonder if they put raisins in the potato salad?
Half the niggas in the pictures look gay in shit and the other half actually are. But the gay niggas happy cus the white catering company vended vienna sausages. I guess thats how you can tell who's the most geeked up in those pictures, free Vienna sausages.
ESPN aint shit but a slander rag. If I was ANY athlete I would be worried about the media. Lisa Lesile and CC getting used by the machine once they are no longer athletes and want to be more than a field nigga. They don't want you to invest in your own business. Just keep the money with them. Roc Nation aint nothing but sellouts.

I dont know why y'all catching feelings over the GAME.
Artists know what they are doing now. They sign a wack deal with the intention of using the production company's money as a catapult.
They do this bullshit in the media and renegotiate.
How else was an unknown gonna get clout in Houston? She had to pimp the system. Now she big she dont need these suckers.
She got a new sucker.

Why should she be loyal?
Are you loyal to your employer?
Or if someone gives you a better offer you outta there?
