In a strategic career move, Megan Thee Stallion has taken a bold step forward by securing a “distribution and services” deal with the powerhouse label Warner Music Group. The news, exclusively reported by Billboard on December 12, marks a significant milestone for the Houston-based artist, adding a new chapter to her already illustrious career.
This move comes on the heels of Megan’s resolution of a lengthy legal battle with 1501 Certified Entertainment in October. The settlement allowed both parties to amicably part ways, with a representative from the label expressing satisfaction and well wishes for Megan’s future endeavors. President Carl Crawford emphasized their support, stating that he and his company wish Megan “the very best in her life and career.”
Notably, Megan had previously announced her intention to release her next project independently. During a livestream, she shared insights into the creative process, revealing that she is personally funding the venture under her label, “Hot Girl Productions.” This bold move puts Megan firmly in control, with the budget and creative direction stemming directly from her vision and resources.
Megan’s last album, “Traumazine,” released in 2022, showcased her versatility with 18 tracks featuring collaborations with industry heavyweights like Key Glock, Latto, Pooh Shiesty, Rico Nasty, Jhené Aiko, and Future. The album not only debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 but also earned Megan a well-deserved gold certification.
As she navigates her career independently, Megan Thee Stallion’s latest distribution deal with Warner Music Group positions her as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, underlining her resilience, talent, and business acumen.
