Carl Crawford says social media turned his relationship with Megan Thee Stallion "really, really sour" and addresses his photo with Tory Lanez.

Megan Thee Stallion’s ongoing legal war with Carl Crawford continues after she called out her label 1501 Certified Ent. The Houston rapper claimed that she signed a bad contract early in her career without the opportunity to negotiate. Once she inked a deal with Roc Nation for management, things went further left. Meg claimed that the label blocked her from releasing new music to the dismay of her fans but ultimately, a judge granted her a temporary restraining order that allowed her to drop her album.

Unfortunately, the feud between Meg and Crawford didn’t simply exist in the courtroom but also, bled into the world of social media. While Meg earned plenty of accolades during this period, Crawford’s reputation took a massive hit. During a recent interview with TMZ, he explained that he’s trying to rebuild the label from the ground up after bringing on Kai “Verse” Tyler as the new president of 1501 Certified Ent. Crawford explained that he lacked experience in the music industry, which he partially blamed for his spat with Meg. However, with Tyler's help, he feels they can reclaim their position in the music industry.

Carl Crawford Says Social Media Soured Megan Thee Stallion Relationship

Even though Megan and Crawford are still duking it out in court, the 1501 Certified Ent. founder acknowledged that he made some mistakes in their relationship. Admitting they haven’t talked since 2019, he said that he “never had problems with Megan Thee Stallion. “It’s just the social media stuff, it turned really, really sour. You take this social media part out of it, we don’t have a problem,” he said. “You not gon’ hear me mention Megan Thee Stallion's name in the media unless I’m doing something like this.”

However, he also addressed the “petty” photo where he posed with Tory Lanez after she accused the Canadian rapper of shooting her. Crawford admitted that he was trying to troll Meg but he stated that he doesn’t have any allegiance to Lanez in this situation. “I don’t stand with nobody in that situation,” he said. “I think I just got wrapped up in the whole scheme of things that was going on. We all make mistakes. I’m not on nobody’s side with that.” Check the full interview with TMZ above and check out the full timeline of Meg vs. Carl Crawford's issues here.
