Megan Thee Stallion scored a legal win on Tuesday, with a judge ruling she could release her new song with BTS… after her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, tried to block it.
The 24-year-old rapper (real name Megan Jovon Ruth Pete) signed with 1501 back in 2018, though she has not been happy with the deal, which she signed when she was just 20.
The Hot Girl Summer hitmaker is claiming in new legal documents (via TMZ) that the label, owned by former MLB player Carl Crawford, is trying to stop a new song with her and BTS from being released, though a judge ruled on Tuesday that the song – slated for release on Friday – can be released.

The song in question is Butter by BTS, which Megan is a featured artist on.
The rapper believes the song will help expand her international fanbase, due to the massive global appeal of BTS.
Her label, however, thinks the song would not be good for her recording career, though Megan claims that excuse is just a cover for the real reason.

She claims the label is trying to shake her down to the tune of more than six figures, so they will sign off on the song’s release.
The artist has claimed they have tried to block her music last year, after she tried re-negotiating her original deal.
Megan ultimately wound up getting an order from a Los Angeles court that prohibits Crawford of 1501 from blocking her music.

The rapper now claims that the label is in violation of that order, and claims the label is trying to stifle her artistry and hurt her career.
She also made headlines when she was shot in a car last summer, claiming that rapper Tory Lanez was the shooter.
Lanez has denied the claims, even alleging in a new freestyle rap on Hot 97 last month that he was ‘framed’ for the shooting.

Lanez released his album Daystar in September 2020, which addresses the shooting on most of the tracks.
Stallion retaliated lyrically with her own song Shots Fired in November 2020, the same month Lanez plead not guilty to assault with a semiautomatic handgun, which could land him a maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months.
She was also granted a protective order against Lanez, who is not allowed to come within 100 yards of her or contact her.
