In an attempt to prevent her record label from allegedly interfering with her plans to promote her American Music Awards nomination, Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a restraining order.
Per her ongoing, two-year legal battle with 1501 Certified Entertainment, the superstar rapper/writer has claimed that 1501 officials “unlawfully” tried “to block or interfere with (Megan) exploiting, licensing, or publishing her music” in the run-up to Sunday’s AMAs.
In response to the allegations, a Texas judge granted the order against 1501 and the musician’s distributor 300 Entertainment, stopping them from “preventing or blocking the use and exploitation” of Megan’s music for promotional purposes up until 20 November, 2022.
According to court documents, Megan “provided evidence” showing the label “recently engaged and will continue to engage in threatening and retaliatory behavior that will irreparably harm” the hitmaker’s music career.
Because there was too little time to give 1501 and 300 officials the opportunity to respond “before the irreparable injury, loss, or damage would occur,” the judge filed an emergency order, stating that the artist “will suffer irreparable harm if her music cannot be used in conjunction with her promotion for the AMAs” and her Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist nomination before voting closed on Monday night.
In a separate lawsuit, the 27-year-old has also accused 1501 of routinely failing to pay her the royalties she is owed.
