Megan Thee Stallion and her record label boss Carl Crawford are at war in court. Crawford has demanded that Megan be sanctioned for “harassment” in their ongoing dispute.
Megan has filed multiple lawsuits against her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, and Crawford. She has been attempting to get out of her current contract with 1501, complaining that the terms of the deal are unfair.
In April, Megan asked the court to appoint a third-party receiver to take control of 1501’s finances. She accused Crawford and his associates of draining the label’s funds without paying her.
Now, 1501 and Crawford have fired back at Megan’s request. They want her sanctioned for “knowingly filing and maintaining groundless and frivolous claims” and asking for an official to take control of 1501’s funds.

Crawford and 1501 claimed Megan asked for the official to be appointed in “bad faith and solely for harassment.” They said 1501 has “sufficient assets to cover any judgment” that Megan may be awarded.
Crawford’s lawyer wrote, “But to gain an unfair advantage in this proceeding, Ms. Pete and her counsel falsely and publicly misrepresented 1501’s financial state in an attempt to both strangle 1501’s business operations and drag Mr. Crawford’s reputation by forcing him to litigate this case in his individual capacity.”
In his motion, Crawford said 1501 owns Megan’s masters, which are worth tens of millions of dollars. He asked that the rapper be sanctioned and he be dismissed individually from the lawsuit.
The trial between Megan and 1501 is set to begin in March 2024. It will be interesting to see how the case plays out and who ultimately wins.
