Megan Thee Stallion Goes to Court, Alleges Her Label 1501 is Blocking Release of ‘Butter’ Remix with BTS
UPDATE: According to TMZ, a judge has ruled that Megan Thee Stallion is clear to release the remix of BTS’ “Butter.”
Megan Thee Stallion is going at it again with her label 1501 Certified Entertainment, and its owner, former MLB star Carl Crawford.
Megan claims that1501 Certified Entertainment and Crawford are trying to block her from releasing a new song with the K-Pop group, BTS. According to court documents filed in Harris County, Texas on Tuesday, the Good News rapper is set to appear on the remix of BTS’ hit single, “Butter,” which is scheduled to drop this Friday, Aug. 25. However, TMZ reports that 1501 Certified Entertainment and Crawford are trying everything to butcher this smooth release.
Megan Thee Stallion believes if released, “Butter” could help her reach and expand to an international fanbase, due to BTS’ massive brand. But, 1501Certified Entertainment disagrees and has stated that this move wouldn’t be good for her career. The Houston native says that this response is a cover-up and the label reportedly trying to get Megan to pay 6-figures and force her to pay them to sign off on the song’s release.
Last March, Megan Thee Stallion sued 1501 Certified Entertainment and Crawford and won a court order that prohibited the label and Crawford from blocking the release of new music. Today, Megan is saying they have violated that order.

Young Dolph Murder Suspect Claims Yo Gotti’s Brother Big Jook Placed $100K Bounty on Rapper
Smith revealed that he had only received $800 of the promised $100,000 payment before his arrest, with Big Jook later adding $50,000 to his lawyer’s retainer.
The murder trial of Young Dolph began on Monday, September 23.
During the trial of his co-defendant Justin Johnson, murder suspect Cornelius Smith took the stand and admitted to shooting the rapper, whose real name was Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., outside Makeda’s Butter Cookies in Memphis on November 17, 2021. The shooting, which occurred in broad daylight, was reportedly part of a $100,000 bounty placed by Yo Gotti’s brother, Big Jook.
Yo Gotti and Young Dolph had a well-known feud dating back to 2016. In September 2017, an associate of Yo Gotti was arrested for attempted murder after a shooting targeting Dolph, but the charges were later dropped.
Smith testified that he was the one seen firing the semi-automatic weapon in the CCTV footage of Dolph’s murder. While Johnson is the only one of the three suspects currently on trial, Smith’s testimony was pivotal in building the case against him.
Smith also revealed that he had only received $800 of the promised $100,000 payment before his arrest, with Big Jook later adding $50,000 to his lawyer’s retainer. “I wasn’t feeling anything at the time,” Smith stated. “I’m not gonna lie. I was just trying to get some money.”
Big Jook, born Anthony Mims, lost his life earlier this year on January 13 following a shooting incident at a Memphis restaurant after a funeral service. He was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, according to Fox 13 Memphis.
Yo Gotti has yet to comment on the allegations that his brother was involved in Dolph’s death.
