NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) – In a groundbreaking announcement today, Megan Thee Stallion has recently entered into a significant deal with Warner Music Group (WMG), marking a pivotal moment in her career. Under this agreement, she will release her music through her Warner-distributed label, Hot Girl Productions, and, notably, will retain full ownership of her master recordings and publishing rights.
Having departed from label 1501 Certified Entertainment following a legal battle last year, Megan sees this collaboration with WMG as starting a new chapter. She expressed her focus on building an empire and growing as an entrepreneur, stating, “This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter of my life and career,” Megan said. “I’m really focused on building an empire and growing as an entrepreneur, so I’m proud to take this next step in my journey and work with Max Lousada and the entire Warner Music Group team in this new capacity. I know we’re going to create history together.”
“Meg is not just a superstar,” WMG Recorded Music CEO Max Lousada said. “She’s an artistic force and a mogul in the making – authentic and unapologetic in defining her unique place in the cultural landscape. So many relate to her remarkable story and have witnessed her come into power on her terms. At Warner, we create an environment where original talents can explore their creativity and entrepreneurialism while building long-term careers. Following on her success with 300, we’re excited to continue our journey with Meg through this dynamic new partnership, with our global teams, infrastructure, and expertise supporting her every step of the way.”
“Megan continues to be an absolute trailblazer,” Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez said. “This new chapter with Warner Music Group will shift the landscape in the music industry and empower other independent artists to follow in her footsteps and claim their power. It’s also a testament to Max’s ability to reimagine the relationships that major music companies can engage in with independent artists.”
The announcement comes on the heels of Megan’s brand-new single “HISS,” which has already reached No. 1 on Apple Music’s Global charts, Spotify’s U.S. charts, iTunes and YouTube Trending within the past week of its highly-anticipated release.
It marked Megan’s second solo release through Hot Girl Productions. In November 2023, she unveiled her single “Cobra,” which touched on mental health and emphasized the importance of shedding the past and starting anew.
