Megan Thee Stallion has scored another win in her court battle against 1501 Certified Entertainment.
On Thursday, Judge Beau A. Miller rejected 1501’s CEO Carl Crawford’s motion to dissolve the restraining order that Megan was granted earlier in the week, which gave her the green light to release new music against her label’s wishes.
According to Megan’s contract, she is forbidden from dropping any music without the label’s approval. But Crawford says that he is exercising his contractual right to control the distribution of the rappers’ music.
In the meantime, Crawford has demanded a hearing today in Harris County, Texas, to tell his side of the story before her mixtape “SUGA” is released on Friday. As of now, there is no word on whether or not that hearing will be granted.
The two have been at odds ever since Megan took to Instagram Live to accuse the label of not being transparent when it comes to her earnings as well as blocking the release of her music after she asked to renegotiate her contract.
J. Prince was also named in Megan’s suit with claims of intimidation. However, he quickly took to Instagram to address the claims.

“For the record, we have no problem with negotiating with Megan, but we do have a problem with dictators,” he said. “I find it very interesting that Roc Nation would allow their employee to sign an affidavit and statement full of slanderous lies on my methods of doing business when we have partnered together on several occasions. I don’t think JAY-Z is aware of this, but only time will tell.” He says in part of the lengthy statement.
But, on Thursday, Judge Beau A. Miller also made mention of J. Prince specifically, saying,
“Mr. Prince shall refrain from threatening or posting threatening or retaliatory social media posts or threats against Megan, her agents, or her representatives.”
Both sides have also been “prohibited from communicating with the media concerning the underlying issues in this case without court approval.”
