Back in October, the rapper formally severed ties with the label 1501 Certified Entertainment following a legal dispute. It was then reported last month that she had signed a new record deal with Warner Music Group.
Megan teamed up with Reneé Rapp recently on a collaborative song titled ‘Not My Fault’ for the new Mean Girls movie musical. Last weekend saw the pair perform the track together on Saturday Night Live.
In 2022, Megan released her second and latest album ‘Traumazine’.
During an Instagram Live broadcast in October, Megan spoke about how her next studio effort would be “very much so funded by Megan Thee Stallion” after cutting ties with her previous label (via Billboard).
“I have no label right now,” she said at the time. “The next shit y’all about to see is all straight from Megan Thee Stallion’s brain and Megan Thee Stallion’s wallet. We are in my pockets, hotties, so let’s do our big one.”
In an interview with Complex last September, Megan said: “I’m making music that I really, really love. I’m making music that I’m not about to have to fight with anybody about.”
She continued: “…With this [new] album, I feel like I’m getting to the meat. I’m getting to the bones. It’s my story, and I’m telling it. I’m so excited because it’s just turning the page into like this new chapter of my life and I feel like the Hotties are gonna be so excited to hear it.”
