Despite drama, Megan Thee Stallion happy to release music

Two weeks ago, Megan Thee Stallion dropped her latest project, Suga, amidst drama with her label 1501 Certified Entertainment. It’s already spawned two Billboard Hot 100 hits with “B.I.T.C.H.” and “Captain Hook,” and a viral dance challenge has the Houston rapper well-positioned to land her next song on the chart.

At Manhattan’s Gotham Hall, the location for Megan Thee Stallion’s CRWN interview held on Tuesday night (Mar. 10), staff workers handed out sanitation wipes for every attendee, a precaution in response to the increasing cases of coronavirus in New York.

A week’s worth of grousing between hit Houston rapper-singer Megan Thee Stallion and her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, over her right to release new music (and a Texas judge granting her a restraining order to do so) is a suitably dramatic setting for “Suga” to drop.

Today, Megan Thee Stallion released her latest project, Suga—with some assistance from a court order. The Houston rapper, who turned “Hot Girl Summer” into a ubiquitous viral meme ahead of last year’s mixtape Fever, has spent the last several days in a public contract dispute with her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, and its CEO, former baseball star Carl Crawford.

Megan Thee Stallion has jumped some major hurdles to get to today. And what a day it is, with the release of her album Suga and the official music video for “B.I.T.C.H.”.

Megan Thee Stallion’s messy label drama continues to play out in the public eye, with J. Prince becoming the latest person to weigh in. The famed music mogul has been assisting the head of Megan’s label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, in his legal battle with the Houston rapper, and today Prince shared a lengthy Instagram post pushing back against allegations leveled in Megan’s $1 million lawsuit.

Megan Thee Stallion has announced that she’ll release her debut album Suga this Friday (March 6). The eight-track project is set to include her single “B.I.T.C.H.,” as well as collaborations with Kehlani and Gunna. Check out the Suga cover and tracklist below.
