Rapper Megan Thee Stallion is again entwined with another issue on his former label, 1501 entertainment.
The 27-year old rapper is making new accusations that the firm is performing an "unlawful" ploy to "chain" her to a contract she finds "unconscionable."
Megan blasted her former label on Instagram for taunting the female rapper on the dismissal of the 2020 lawsuit she filed with her former label.
"YOU STILL GETTING SUED BC YOU OWE ME MONEY!!! I AINT NEVER BEEN PAID FROM 1501 IN MY LIFE!" Megan wrote in a now-deleted post.
She continued: "This mf got my accomplishments in that bio and aint contributed to shit SINCE 2018... NOT STUDIO TIME, NOT A MUSIC VIDEO NOT A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT, shit not even a flight !!! But you trying to eat off me AND PICK WITH ME ONLINE."
The 2020 lawsuit
According to the 2020 lawsuit, Megan sued 1501 entertainment for the unfair contract she had signed back in 2018 with her former label.
When the "Body" hitmaker signed another contract with Roc Nation, lawyers there revealed the unfairness of the contract she had initially signed before.
1501 Entertainment, according to the rapper, receives 60% of her recording income, 30% of her touring income, and 30% from merchandise sales.

The 2022 lawsuit
In a new lawsuit that Rolling Stone obtained, Megan Thee Stallion sues the label again for attempting to "recategorize" Megan's "Something For Thee Hotties" as not an "album."
In the 2018 contract, the document defines an "album" as "not less than 45 minutes in length." But, Megan's 2021 album exceeds the definition with 45 minutes and 02 seconds, therefore qualifying to be an album.
Megan's camp claims that 1501's new position is a "ruse in an effort to try to take further advantage of [Megan], at great expense and not in good faith."
The letter that 1501 sent also came "out of the blue" on January 5, 2022 -- months after it was released. This action, as Megan's camp defines it," is frivolous and has no basis in law or fact."
When the rapper spoke about her later involvement with Roc Nation in an Instagram video posted in early 2020, she said it made her see how one-sided her previous arrangement with 1501 was.
She, later on, won a restraining order against 1501, eventually letting her negotiate the terms and barring the label for preventing the female rapper from releasing new music.
