Megan Thee Stallion earned her first No. 1 hit this week with "Savage," and her label surprisingly couldn't be happier. On Tuesday (May 26th), Billboard reported that Megan and Beyoncé's remix of "Savage" had risen to the top of the Hot 100 chart, marking the former's first ever No. 1 of her career. Megan was thrilled, of course, and Bey even sent her a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her on her incredible feat.
Someone we may not have expected to join in on the celebratory festivities was Carl Crawford, the CEO of 1501 Certified Entertainment to which Megan is signed. However, on Tuesday, Carl took to the official 1501 Instagram page to relish in the joy of "Savage" going No. 1.
"#1! We did it for our city!" Carl wrote on a clip of one of Beyoncé's verses on the remix. "Waking up to good news is a blessing man, and coming together for this collaboration was a no brainer. I’m so proud of everyone involved in making this project happen and the help that has been given to Bread of Life, Houston through its success. We’ve gotten to feed so many people in need because the fans showed up n showed out and streamed! We did this together! I’m just grateful."
Although the song was released via 1501 on Megan's EP Suga back in March, Carl fails to mention her at all in the post. If you recall, the two of them were embroiled in some legal drama prior to the release of Suga, after Megan exposed the label for preventing her from releasing new music due to the conditions of her contract. She was granted permission by the court to release the project against the label's wishes after she sued them, so it's interesting that Carl is celebrating the exciting feat at all.
