Megan Thee Stallion Seeks Dismissal of Ex-Photographer’s Lawsuit. Hip hop’s top female artist, Megan Thee Stallion, is suing her former photographer. The artist wants the lawsuit dismissed, claiming it is baseless.
Megan’s former photographer sued the rapper for breaching their contract and using his photographs without permission. The photographer, who worked with Megan early in her career, believes he is owed a lot of money for using his photographs on her social media, merchandising, and promotional materials.
Megan Thee Stallion has kept silent, focusing on her music and profession. She sent a brief statement through her publicist: “I appreciate my collaborators. However, this action is frivolous, and I believe the truth will triumph.”
Megan Pete, as Megan Thee Stallion, filed a petition to dismiss the complaint. Megan maintains in her legal documents that the photographer’s claims are unfounded and that they used the images as agreed. She says she always credits and pays for labor.
Several claims are in the photographer’s lawsuit.Unauthorized social media photo use.Unpaid marketing campaign picture use.Breaking their employment contract.
He alleges that the images were widely utilized to promote Megan’s business and songs, helping her rise to prominence, and that he was not appropriately rewarded.
Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyers argue.The photographer was well-paid.Photo use was agreed upon in their initial deal.The lawsuit seeks to profit off Megan’s success.
This legal dispute comes while Megan Thee Stallion’s career is booming. The case may distract from her many hits, honors, and music business prominence. Megan has kept working on her music and career, releasing new songs and performing at large events.
Megan Thee Stallion fans and the public have diverse opinions to the case. Some followers defend Megan, saying the lawsuit is bogus and an attempt to benefit off her fame. Others think the photographer deserves appropriate pay if his claims are true.
The court will decide if the lawsuit has enough grounds to proceed. If Megan wins, the judge will dismiss the lawsuit, ending this legal battle. If not, both sides will submit their facts and arguments at trial.
The outcome of this litigation is unknown, but it shows the complexity of music industry artist-collaborator relationships.
