J. Prince took to Instagram to defend Carl Crawford amid his ongoing legal battle with Megan Thee Stallion, claiming that Megan “and her mgmt at Roc Nation has lied about Carl Crawford and his 1501 label” for years.

The Rap-A-Lot CEO stated that:

“Carl discovered, developed and fully financed {megan] early in her career which led to a life changing distribution agreement for her with 300 Entertainment. From 1501’s earliest agreement with Megan, long before MTS was a household name, 1501 generously agreed to give Megan 40% of its PROFITS which is substantially more than the customary record royalty that a new artist receives from a record label.” 

This comes after Megan asked a judge to rule that her latest album, Traumazine, fulfilled her contract with 1501 Certified Entertainment. In addition, Megan asked for $1 million in damages as a result of 1501 stalling her career and taking advantage of her. After J. Prince hit back at Megan’s claims in court, he listed the ways he believes Megan “consistently and intentionally breached her 1501 contract.”

Megan then responded on Twitter, writing, “Im so over these grown ass men trying to take credit away from the work me and my mama put into the beginning of my career…me and my mom ‘developed’ my career I was already known for free styling and I was already working on Tina snow before I got to 1501.” 

Megan then explained that she felt like she wasn’t being adequately managed by 1501, which is why she went to Roc Nation, and Megan added that she asked to renegotiate her 1501 contract, not leave. Megan also claimed that Crawford previously spoke badly about J. Prince.
