Carl Crawford and Megan Thee Stallion

Wealthy baseball star, Carl Crawford, is currently locked in a legal dispute with his rapper, Megan Thee Stallion, whom he made famous with his money and connections, under his 1501 Certified Entertainment label (Megan Thee Stallion New Album 'Suga' Flops Under Jay Z Management Confirming Previous Site Claims).

Megan has stated she is trying to renegotiate her contract, which recording artists often do when they become more famous or sell well enough. However, based on what is being said, Megan is trying to void her recording contract, which is not lawful. She is the one in violation of her contract in not paying Crawford what he is due for her shows. You are permitted to fire your manager and hire a new one, but you still have to pay both, as you are contractually obligated to do so.

As Crawford spent six figures to make Megan famous, is owed $2,000,000 for concert fees and would further incur damages in the millions from lost future earnings, Megan would have to buy out the contract. This will cost millions. However, as I have stated in past articles, the music industry is a business not a charity. Some entitled artists believing their own hype expect labels to spend hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions on making them a star, then not get any of their financial investment back. That's not the way business works.

Crawford blames the current legal dispute on greedy, crooked Jay Z and Beyonce, "We gave this girl a 60-40 split. Now go ask the artist about that. She got parts of her masters [the] first time. You think JAY-Z would have gave her part of her masters on her first deal with Roc Nation? F**k no. Then, she's getting $100,000 a show and she don't want to pay up. That's what the issue was about. She signed with Roc Nation in August and decided she didn't wanna pay me no more."

Crawford also stated, "They're using that as a strong-arm tactic so that I can renegotiate the contract. They're holding the money, and they haven't paid me since August. She done over 15 shows. Y'all do the math. She gets $100,000 a show. She owe me, and I haven't recouped almost $2 million that we spent on her, building her up so that Roc Nation would wanna come [around]. Where was Roc Nation at when we was grinding and riding around on them backstreets? Roc Nation was nowhere to be found. Soon as we spent our money, blow it up, now all of a sudden, these strangers and people you just met — they introduce you to Beyoncé and now we the devil? We were just the angels sent from the sky. Now, we're the devil just because Jay-Z saved you. You're so fake."

Crawford concluded, "T. Farris is the one. Her mom did the contract. I'm new to the business. I let this guy T. Farris run my whole business, because I knew absolutely nothing about it. Zero. So he wrote your contract up. I didn't do it ... She got the dude [T. Farris] right up under her. He's the snake. He did the contract. They had the lawyers. How didn't you read your contract? She signed two contacts. You signed one with me and 300 [Entertainment]. You mean to tell me, you, your mama and your lawyer didn't read over that stuff every time? Stop lying. You wasn't 20, you were 23 years old. You was a grown up. You're just a liar."

The matter is currently in court, but I do not trust the judge presiding over the case, who has already violated the law in giving Megan clearance to release the album "Suga" in violation of her contract with Crawford. The label has the contractual right to decide when releases are issued, not the judge. The judge overstepped the mark with this terrible ruling. How fitting that the release "Suga" has flopped, after said terrible legal precedent. It has dented her career as well for listening to Jay Z.

Crawford stated fame has gone to Megan's head. However, it's actually Jay Z. He's pulled this same stunt with many artists and athletes after others did the hard work to make them famous. Jay Z is a leech and degenerate that steals everything he can get his grubby, camel hands on. His wife Beyonce is no better (Beyonce And Jay Z Copyright Infringement).

Crawford also revealed regarding Megan, "She just has so many holes in her story, and it's almost on some delusional type stuff. The bubble of Hollywood and her 8 million followers has really clouded her head, because the stuff that she's saying is not true. It's a whole lie. Nothing is true that she said. Me being greedy and taking money from her, that's crazy. I never tried to take nothing from her. The only thing we ever did was give, give, give. Now, she fell for the oldest trick in the industry: the conquer and divide theme."

Beyonce and Jay Z

As I have stated for years on this website, just because an artist has a large social media following does not mean they will sell well. If the material is not a hit, it will flop. It's that simple. And Jay Z has been flopping in his own career for over a decade. Megan should not have bought into the hype that he could take her career to the next level, as he doesn't know music and hasn't a clue about artist development. Much like his ill-fated foray into boxing turned to calamity, with a boxer losing his career, a dozen fighters fleeing his company and others suffering unnecessary, rigged losses and dubious wins, which has brought heavy scrutiny on their legacy.

Jay Z is not a real businessman. He is an arrogant, deluded crack cocaine dealer, who stole his way into millions in the entertainment industry. He's taken the criminality of the crack cocaine trade into the sports industry as well, via strongarm tactics, which has turned into another disaster for him. Crawford stated Jay Z sent two thugs to his office in trying to strongarm him over Megan, which is completely illegal.

However, as I have stated in past articles, this is the type of criminal behavior the Hollywood cult Jay Z belongs to engages in (Deranged Madonna Criminally Sent Two Thugs To My Home). Even if you do not want to have anything to do with them, they will insanely do their level best to assert their deranged conduct into your life and business, even through sick criminal means. The law is going to catch up with them and they will regret this legacy of thievery, greed and criminality.

Carl Crawford: 'Ask Jay-Z to Pull One of His Artists' First Contracts, and Let's Compare It to What Megan Got'

Carl Crawford is speaking out against Megan Thee Stallion's recent lawsuit, in which she accuses the former MLB star of conducting shady business. On Sunday, Meg shared a video in which she claimed Crawford and his 1501 Certified Entertainment were preventing her from releasing new music. The Houston artist signed a 360 deal but says she "didn't know everything that was in that contract" because she was so young. Meg claimed that under her 1501 deal, the label takes 60 percent of her recording income, 30 percent of her touring income, and 30 percent of the profits from merchandise sales. She said she attempted to renegotiate the deal after her management at Roc Nation pointed out some of the terms.

"So when I got with Roc Nation, I got management — real management — and real lawyers. They were like, ‘Do you know that this is in your contract?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, damn, that’s crazy — no, I didn’t know,'" she said. "... Soon as I said, 'I want to renegotiate my contract,' everything went left. It all went bad. It all went left. So now [1501] tellin' a b**h she can't drop no music. It's really just, like, a greedy game."...
