Carl Crawford, the CEO of 1501 entertainment revealed that when he signed the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper, Megan Thee Stallion, he did not know much about the music business. Crawford and Megan Thee Stallion were earlier involved in a serious legal battle, that made them go their separate ways. Crawford spoke with Audiomack co- founder and veteran hip-hop media presence Brian Zisook about it and got into how much it affected him and his company.
When he signed Megan Thee Stallion, at the time that he allegedly did not know much about the music industry, she was in a 360 deal contract. A 360 deal means that the label gets a percentage of all of the streams of income artists can have. Merchandise, concerts, the music, of course, and more. Crawford admitted that such a deal he had with the Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion was not the soundest, but is working and doing things that benefit his artists interests.
Fans of the rapper immediately took Megan’s side and blasted Crawford for trying tobkeep her trapped in a contract she no longer wanted to be in. “I went from being seenbas a hard-working athlete to the villain in music overnight,” he told Zisook. “I don’t letbanyone control what I’m doing anymore.”
According to Brian Zisook, Crawford invested $6M of his own money, built recordingbstudios, and signed artists straight out of his neighborhood, intending to shine a light onbthe talent in his hometown. Megan Thee Stallion became the breakout star Crawford sought, but their public fallout put 1501 under scrutiny. Crawford says their three-year- long legal battle cost him financially and made artists hesitant to sign with him. Megan Thee Stallion and her team are yet to respond to Crawford’s claims.

The viral sensation, rapper Glorilla was pushed to cut her St. Louis concert short due to several fights breaking out in the concert. The concert was held at The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri. Videos circulating on social media shows fights breaking out multiple times throughout the course of the concert, with GloRilla pausing the showeach time.
One attendee told FOX 2 Now, “[GloRilla] was very involved. She was saying, like, ‘Come on now, we gotta stop fighting,’ and they didn’t listen. Every time she had to interrupt, they’d turn the lights on, the song would stop, and they’d have to restart. They did it three times, which I thought was pretty disrespectful, but she never got through that last song.”
Other fans compared the fights breaking out to the W.W.E. “It was actually like a WWE fight; it was really fun; we’re up there peeking over — I had front row in the balcony, and it’s like a sea of people. Then you see a little scramble for a second, and people would start running to it.”
The Memphis rapper began performing one of her songs in a clip that surfaced online before stopping to call out a fight. “Come on now, y’all better than that,” she told the crowd. “They still fighting. What the fuck? Come on, St. Louis. Come on now.” She added, “Y’all ain’t that mad. Ain’t nobody did nothing that bad for y’all to be out there fighting. Y’all supposed to be having a good time being glorious at The Glorious Tour.” After several attempts to calm her fans down, Glorilla walked off the stage, emphasizing the importance of safety.
The rapper is currently traveling across North America while headlining her Glorious Tour, but ended up having to cut a St. Louis show short earlier this week after several fights broke out among the audience

The disgraced music mogul, Sean Diddy Combs is currently facing a new lawsuit, with a Hollywood male photographer accusing him of forcing him to perform oral sex. The photographer claims that the incident occurred on the set of a commercial shoot in 2022 or 2023.
According to TMZ, the plaintiff alleges that Diddy lured him into a trailer and acted like he was discussing career opportunities. He went ahead to claim the rapper made sexual advances and coerced him to perform oral sex on him and threatened to ruin his professional career if he doesn’t comply. He claims Diddy told him to “suck it right” for his career to take off.
He claims that Diddy eventually “climaxed,” to which the rapper allegedly instructed him to carry his “semen in his mouth like a squirrel.” After the man, currently going as John Doe, refused that demand, Diddy threatened him with physical violence and kicked him out of his trailer. John Doe went back to work on the commercial, “grappling not only with the trauma of the situation, but with the knowledge that he had Combs’ semen on and inside of his body.”
According to John Doe, he never heard from Diddy again after the alleged assault. Doe’s suit states that he suffered from emotional and mental turmoil, anguish, and trauma. Doe is looking to be compensated for an undisclosed amount of cash for damages.
Combs has been sued by dozens of people — men, women and children — accusing him of sexual misconduct, accusations dating back decades. He has consistently denied the allegations. The music and business mogul, Sean Combs is currently incarcerated in Brooklyn after being indicted on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, transportation to engage in prostitution and forced labor. He has pleaded not guilty.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed—especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims—it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” his lawyers said via a statement. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
