Megan Thee Stallion Still Independent Despite Warner Music Group Partnership

Megan Thee Stallion has teamed with Warner Music Group to release new projects but remains unsigned to a label.

Grammy-award winner and THAT girl Megan Thee Stallion is maintaining her independence while partnering with a major music company to distribute her upcoming work.

Though still unsigned to a label, she has teamed with Warner Music Group to release new music she continues to self-fund and retain full ownership of, Complex reported.

As Megan said in a recent Instagram Live captured by a user on X, “I have no label right now and we’re doing everything funded straight out of Megan Thee Stallion’s pocket. The next s**t y’all about to see about to be all straight from Megan Thee Stallion—Megan Thee Stallion brain, Megan Thee Stallion wallet,” the outlet reported.

The artist addressed “the real hotties” in a post on X, saying, “This part of my album is definitely very much funded by Megan Thee Stallion … but I have no label right now and we’re doing everything funded straight out of Megan Thee Stallion pockets.” She echoed a comment by an unidentified voice in the background that the upcoming music would be made possible by her own budget, referred to as “Hot Girl Productions.”

She shared her excitement to be “doing something for the first time independent” since the start of her career. While passing on signing with a label for now, her partnership with Warner Music Group will provide crucial distribution support. Employees from her management company, 300 Entertainment, will assist in the new venture.

The deal comes on the heels of Megan ending a yearslong legal battle with her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. Their dispute, stemming from 1501 blocking Megan’s release of new music, concluded in October with a settlement being reached, Complex noted.

Still THAT girl, Megan has continued thriving creatively amidst the legal drama. She released her acclaimed second album, Traumazine, last August, led by her single “Cobra” in October. She also featured on Cardi B’s “Bongos” in September.
