Megan Thee Stallion's Fans Start Campaign To 'Free Megan' From Label Deal

Megan Thee Stallion isn't shying away from her feelings surrounding the drama with her agency, and neither are her fans. On Sunday, she took to Instagram Live to discuss her frustrations with attempting to renegotiate her contract with 1501 Entertainment, the record label she first signed on to. The legal dispute is halting her upcoming album release, according to Billboard.

"Soon as I said, 'I want to renegotiate my contract,' everything went left. It just all went bad,” she said in her live stream. “So now they tellin' a [expletive] she can't drop no music. It's really just, like, a greedy game.”

The video prompted her fans to immediately vie for Megan’s freedom from 1501 Entertainment, tweeting about the incident using the hashtags “#FREETHEESTALLION” and "#FREEMEG." Megan signed with 1501 early on in her career and then signed with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s entertainment agency, in September 2019.

“I was like 20, and I didn't know everything that was in that contract," she said in her video. "So when I got with Roc Nation, I got management -- real management. I got real lawyers. They were like, 'Do you know that this is in your contract?' And I was like, 'Oh, damn, that's crazy -- no, I didn't know.'"

Megan’s fans and even some celebrities, like Jameela Jamil, are rallying behind her, posting videos, memes and angry tweets confirming their support for the artist and stating their beliefs that she deserves to release more music.

Some fans are sharing their dismay at what would happen if Megan cannot release new music, and “hot girl summer” doesn’t return for another year, a reference to summer 2019 when her single, “Cash [expletive],” was released and created a viral trend of female empowerment.

Others are calling out the music industry for stalling the career of a black woman.

Megan’s latest album, “Suga,” was scheduled for release in May, Vulture reported.
