TMZ/Getty CompositeMegan Thee Stallion[1] is now square in the middle of a dispute between her Roc Nation managers and hip-hop mogul J. Prince[2] ... who claims she's been brainwashed by lawyers.
The Rap-a-Lot Records founder also consults with Megan's record label 1501 Certified Entertainment ... the label she's suing over her contract. In her lawsuit, Megan accused J. Prince of bullying and intimidating people in the record biz, and now he's firing back[3].
Prince lays blame squarely at Roc Nation's feet, insinuating Jay-Z[4]'s management company is trying to profit off 1501's hard work[5] building Megan's career.

He adds, "This is the same technique of the culture vultures. I didn’t allow this to happen to me when New York and LA record labels attempted to take my artists- so they labeled me as malicious for fighting back. I didn’t allow it then so I damn sure ain’t gonna allow it to happen to 1501 Records or any of the other independent record labels that I’m associated with."
He also says Megan's complaints[6] about the contract she signed when she was 20 years old are unfounded because, "Any artist in the music industry will testify that a 40% profit share is a great deal especially for an unestablished artist that til this day has never delivered an album."
