History repeats itself? Erica Banks calls out her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, for skimming her on cash she believes she earned.

In a new single, Erica Banks blasts the label, rapping:

“Hoe, I’m busy, I’m drownin’ in VVs
Hook me up with a show up in 3D
I give a fuck about that life, when they see me
And they owe me some money, man, they greedy.”

If we need further confirmation, Erica Banks wrote “I’m not with them [1501 Certified] anymore.”

This is eerily similar to this situation….

Megan Thee Stallion has been in a turbulent public dispute with her 1501 record label ever since she accused 1501 of blocking the release of her music after a failed contract renegotiation over three years ago.

Now the GRAMMY award winner is suing for $1 million dollars in damages. The “Big Ole Freak” rapper’s lawsuit alleges that Carl Crawford, owner of 1501 Certified Entertainment did not pay her royalties and leaked her LP Traumazine early.

 On the flip side, 1501 Certified claims Megan didn’t pay her share of touring or merchandise profits, intentionally breached her contract, and uses previously released materials against agreement terms.  

Disagreements between The 28-year-old and her label often spill onto social media and last night was no different. Meg took to Twitter to express her disappointment in comments Crawford and longtime business partner and founder of Rap-A-Lot, J. Prince released earlier in the day. 

“When my mama died I knew a bunch of hood n*ggas who just started a label for the FIRST time were not gonna be able to manage me PROPERLY so I got with roc…by this time I was a bigger artist and I asked to renegotiate… NOT LEAVE what was wrong with that ? That man is GREEDY,” she wrote.

“If you wanna be REALLL I DEVELOPED 1501,” the rapper tweeted.

Megan Thee Stallion Sues 1501 Again Over “Album” Definition, Claims Label Never Paid Her

megan thee stallion 1501 lawsuit

Megan Thee Stallion called out her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment on social media again.

On Tuesday, the 27-year-old Houston rapper claimed that the label never paid her, noting that her money from touring and concerts also went to 1501.

Additionally, Megan accused Carl Crawford in a post and delete of utilizing his relationship with Rap-a-Lot Records founder, J. Prince to bully people in the industry by using “strong-arm tactics.”

READ MORE: Megan Thee Stallion has launched a non-profit in honor of her late parents on her birthday.

The tirade is connected to a 2020 lawsuit she won against 1501 Certified Entertainment and Crawford over the label trying to prohibit her from releasing her album, Suga.

However Thee Stallion and her legal team have filled a new lawsuit against 1501 Certified Entertainment, over what constitutes an “Album.”

1501 is allegedly refusing to allow her to fulfill the terms of her contract and proclaim that her Something for Thee Hotties does not meet the legal definition of an “Album.”

The “Hot Girl Summer” rapper released Something for Thee Hotties in November 2021. It debuted number three on the Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in its first week of release.

According to Pitchfork, in the lawsuit, filed on Friday, Megan claims her label informed her two months after the release that it did not meet the definition of an “Album” under her 1501 recording agreement, and therefore did not satisfy her contract’s “Minimum Recording Commitment.”

Thee Stallion’s legal team says the release “clearly meets the definition of “Album”‘ and pointed out that the only parameter defining an “Album” under the terms of her contract is its runtime, which must be at least 45 minutes in length. Something for Thee Hotties is 45 minutes and 2 seconds long.

Megan is seeking a non-monetary declaratory judgement that Something for Thee Hotties meets the definition of an “Album” which will satisfy the terms of her contract, and she request her attorney’s fees be recouped.

The H-Town Hottie’s legal team claims 1501 Certified wants to keep her locked in her contract for longer, so they can profit from her sales.
