A district judge in Harris County Texas granted Megan a temporary restraining order which prevents her label from blocking the music she plans to drop on Friday.

In the suit, Megan lays out the most outrageous terms of her contract, at least in her eyes. For instance, she claims the deal calls for (Certified to get) % of her recording income. The remaining 41% goes to her, but she has to use that to pay engineers, mixers and featured artists who work on the songs.

She said on social media over the weekend that she wanted to renegotiate her deal with the label, but that’s when things went sideways and, she says, Certified Entertainment tried to block her from releasing new music.
