Demanding The Label, Megan Thee Stallion Is Prohibited From Releasing BTS's Butter Remix
JAKARTA - Rapper Megan Thee Stallion plans to release a remix version of BTS's song Butter this week. Unfortunately, his record label does not allow this to happen.
Last Tuesday, August 24, Stallion sent a petition to record label 1501 Certified Entertainment and its CEO Carl Crawford. In the documents listed, she uses her real name - Megan Pete.
Stallion said if he wasn't allowed to release songs, his career would be irreparably damaged, including his relationships with fans and other musicians in the music industry.
“The damage to goodwill and the silencing of the artist's expression in music cannot be compensated for by compensation. Accordingly, (Megan) Pete is seeking emergency assistance from the courts," reads a statement quoted by Variety.
It seems that the steps that Megan Thee Stallion took are walking. Today, August 25, Big Hit Music's social media released a Butter teaser under the name Stallion in the collaborators section.
This isn't the first time Stallion has been in conflict with 1501. Last year, he sued the label for banning him from releasing Suga's albums and requested a restraining order which was granted by the court.
The song Butter Remix sung by BTS with Megan Thee Stallion is scheduled to be released on Friday, August 27.
