CelebNMusic247.com reports that Megan Thee Stallion is putting 1501 Certified Entertainment aka Carl Crawford.

Now she’s pissed about the contract she signed with the label back when she was 20-years-old.
Megan Thee Stallion has now won her battle for the moment after a district judge in Harris County Texas granted Megan a temporary restraining order which prevents her label from blocking the music she plans to drop on Friday.
In the suit, Megan lays out the most outrageous terms of her contract, at least in her eyes. For instance, she claims the deal calls for 1501 Certified to get 60% of her recording income. The remaining 40% goes to her, but she has to use that to pay engineers, mixers and featured artists who work on the songs.
Point is … MTS claims there’s a very small slice of pie left for her when it’s all said and done. She also says her live gigs currently benefit the label more than her.
According to the suit, the contract calls for all money from Megan’s touring and live performances to be paid directly to 1501 Certified. She says the label is supposed to give her a proper accounting of what she’s owed — but claims what they’ve provided is incomplete, and “purposefully and deceptively vague.”
Megan also claims Crawford has been using his relationship with Rap-a-Lot Records founder J. Prince to intimidate people in the industry. In the suit, she claims Crawford pressured a producer to hand over beats by saying Prince would be pissed. Megan claims, “Prince is notorious in the industry for strong-armed intimidation tactics, and the comment was taken as a physical threat of harm.”
