Megan Thee Stallion Granted Restraining Order Against Her Record Label

Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a restraining order against her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, and her distributor, 300 Entertainment, from a Texas judge.

In legal documents witnessed by TMZ Hip Hop, the Thot Shit rapper claimed that her label made "threatening and retaliatory" actions to block her from using her own music at the American Music Awards. The ceremony takes place next Monday.

Megan Thee Stallion is fighting against 1501 in another case, where she argues that she believes her contract conditions have been satisfied and she should be a free agent. The label disagrees, however, and insists that she owes them more music.

While what 1501 and 300 allegedly said to prevent Megan Thee Stallion from using her music at the AMAs hasn't been revealed, the judge has granted the artist a temporary restraining order. Both companies are now barred from interfering with Megan Thee Stallion's music from featuring at the awards; she's a nominee in the Favourite Female Hip-Hop Artist category.

Last month, Megan Thee Stallion posted a teaser to her Instagram suggesting that she might be featured in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. 

The acclaimed rapper took to the social media platform, posting a slew of photos of herself, two of which featured her holding Stranger Things cue cards and sitting in a Netflix director's chair. The last picture in the set featured Stallion's manicure, showing off black widow nail art. Fans quickly pointed out that the same spiders were present throughout the fourth season of Stranger Things.

Despite the hints that the rapper might be featured, NME reported earlier in the year that it was unlikely that season five would feature any new characters. In the article, creators Matt and Ross Duffer admitted, "Whenever we introduce a new character, we want to make sure that they're going to be an integral part of the narrative.

"But every time we do that, we're nervous because you go, 'We've got a great cast of characters here and actors, and any moment we're spending with a new character, we're taking time away from one of the other actors.' So we're just very, very careful about who we're introducing."
