More artist signed to Crawford come out about horrible deals and business practices.
In light of Megan Thee Stallion's lawsuit against Carl Crawford and his label 1501 Certified Entertainment, as she claims they are preventing her from releasing new music, Complex spoke to her former labelmates who are echoing her sentiments about the label.
Houston rapper HardyBoy Pigg says he was the first artist signed to the label, and he claims that Crawford "left me for dead" when he was locked up for three years. He added that Crawford "was on some bully stuff" when it came to releasing his music, which he said was held back like Megan claims her music has been.
Rapper Haroldlujah backed up HardyBoy Pigg and Megan Thee Stallion's claims about 1501, saying it was "like signing with the devil." Haroldlujah says a personal situation led to a strained relationship with Carl, and he added that 1501 was no longer promoting his music. Haroldlujah went on to say that 1501 owes him money, stating, "I've been hearing about a sit-down for three years. There's never been a sit-down. My thing is, just give me my release papers and we can move on. I held up my end of the contract."
Rapper Psyco Sid says that Crawford became overwhelmed after Megan started blowing up, stating, "Megan, she started heating up so fast. I don’t feel like it was a matter of them refusing [to give me the money.] Carl just bit off more than he could chew at the time. I don’t see there being no ill will." Sid decided not to sign to 1501 after reading the contract and seeing that they would get a percentage of his merchandise even if the label didn't pay to create the product.
Megan is asking a judge to throw out her contract with 1501, stating that they didn't provide her with promised services and they didn't register her songs with the copyright office. She added that they've only paid her $15,000 since signing with them.
