Megan Thee Stallion has reportedly taken further legal action in her ongoing legal battle with her former record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment.
Why Megan Thee Stallion needs Kelsey Harris boyfriend in 1501 lawsuit
In an intriguing development, Megan is reportedly preparing to issue a subpoena to depose the boyfriend of her ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris, as part of her upcoming trial, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online.
Megan’s legal team has responded to 1501’s recent claim that Kelsey’s boyfriend, Darien Smith, had no affiliation with the label.
The Grammy-winning artist, who was previously close with Kelsey, alleges that the label conspired with Kelsey to release a diss track aimed at tarnishing her reputation.
Megan believes that Darien, whom she considered an executive, possesses relevant information that could support her case in the trial scheduled for 7 August 2023.
1501’s response to Megan’s latest
The label executives deny Megan’s allegations of collusion, dismissing them as baseless and unsubstantiated.
They assert that 1501 had previously informed Megan that she was targeting the wrong Darien Smith, refuting any malicious intent in the matter.
Additionally, 1501 Certified Entertainment asserts that Kelsey’s boyfriend Darien was not an employee of the label, clarifying that he had collaborated with some of their artists without an official deal.
According to the label, another individual named Darrian Smith was associated with their company.
In light of these developments, Megan Thee Stallion has decided to bypass the label’s cooperation and directly subpoena Darien himself. Megan’s legal team cites numerous articles that reportedly list Darien as an employee of 1501, prompting their request for clarification from the label.
As we previously reported, Megan filed a lawsuit against 1501 Certified Entertainment, accusing them of impeding her from releasing new music.
The legal proceedings have since unfolded into a complex battle involving multiple individuals, including Kelsey Harris and her boyfriend Darien Smith.
