Megan Thee Stallion has accused the owner of her record label of hiding money to avoid paying her: report

• Megan Thee Stallion claimed the owner of her record label, 1501, is hiding money to avoid paying her, reports TMZ.
• The rapper reportedly filed a motion in court on Thursday claiming that the label's owner is taking money that should be going to her.

Megan Thee Stallion's legal battle with her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, has taken its latest turn, with the rapper now claiming its owner is hiding money to avoid paying her, reports TMZ.

Megan is said to have filed a motion in court on Thursday claiming that owner Carl Crawford is taking money that should be going to her.

The rapper alleged that 1501's primary bank account currently has less than $10,000 left in it, despite "millions" being deposited, according to TMZ.

Per the report, Megan said only former MLB star Crawford and the label's other executives, J. Prince and Gee Roberson, are getting paid, and she's filing the motion because she fears 1501's accounts will be empty come the time of a judgment in her pending lawsuit against the label to get out of her recording contract.

She's asked the judge to appoint a third party to take over managing 1501's finances, reported TMZ.

Representatives for neither Megan nor 1501 and Crawford immediately responded to requests for comment.

Megan's battle with 1501 began shortly after she signed a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation in September 2019. Crawford said he was not made aware of the deal.

In March 2020, the rapper accused 1501 of blocking her from releasing her debut album, "Good News," and filed a lawsuit against the label to declare her contract void, saying it did not meet industry standards.

In the suit, Megan alleged that 1501 had only paid her $15,000 since signing with them in 2018.

On February 22, 2022, Megan's legal team then filed a request to dismiss her lawsuit against 1501 Certified Entertainment without prejudice, according to HipHopDX.

The next day, however, Megan filed another lawsuit against 1501, this time accusing the label of keeping her locked into her contract by refusing to recognize her 2021 project, "Something For Thee Hotties," as an album.

1501 countersued Megan, but in December 2022, a judge sided with the 27-year-old musician in a pre-trial ruling, meaning the suit will go to trial, according to Rolling Stone.
