1501 Certified Ent. CEO Carl Crawford has finally apologized to Megan Thee Stallion following their lengthy legal battle.
Adding, “I never had any problems with Megan Thee Stallion. It’s just the social media stuff; it turned really, really sour. You take this social media part out of it; we don’t have a problem … I’m done with that.”
“Oh, the thing is with that, I don’t stand with nobody in that situation,” he explained. “That’s none of my business. You get caught up in the internet stuff and doing stuff just to — I don’t know if we can just use the word petty ’cause there’s been a lot of petty stuff going on.”
“I normally don’t do stuff like that. I think I just got wrapped up in the whole scheme of things that was going on. We all make mistakes. I’m not on nobody’s side with that. I was just… I don’t even know.”
He then blamed his actions on his “competitive nature” as a former professional athlete.
“Just call it, I don’t know, competitive nature,” he said. “Playing sports, you’re used to people yelling at you, and you go back and forth, so I kinda got caught up in that game a little bit which I probably shouldn’t have done because I’m in a different game now, and I can’t just treat it as a fan yelling at me, and I get to yell back.”
After his high-profile battle with Megan, Carl Crawford appointed industry veteran Kai “Verse” Tyler as the label’s new president to restore 1501’s “bad” reputation.
In a conversation with TMZ, Tyler stated that 1501 has no ill will toward Megan Thee Stallion, JAY-Z, or Roc Nation and justified Crawford’s relationship with Lanez as an inexperienced music executive.
“At the end of the day, [Carl] doesn’t know him,” he said. “Once again, a guy that doesn’t know the business of music and that politics side … ‘Don’t stand with this player because the Red Sox might not like it later.’ He doesn’t understand that’s how we move in the business of music.”
