Music Industry Moves: Megan Thee Stallion Announces Partnership With Interscope Records

Megan Thee Stallion has entered into a distribution partnership with Interscope Records, as announced on August 14, 2026. The Houston-based artist maintains ownership of her musical masters and publishing while releasing her future work independently through Hot Girl Productions. This arrangement allows her to uphold her creative autonomy while benefiting from Interscope’s global distribution capabilities.

The 31-year-old rapper expressed gratitude for the opportunity to redefine success on her own terms, as she embarks on the next chapter of her career. The collaboration comes after Megan parted ways with Warner Music Group in February 2024, continuing a trend of major artists transitioning from WMG to Interscope Records. Steve Berman, Interscope Capitol's vice chairman, praised Megan's unique talent and ability to shape culture independently, expressing enthusiasm for supporting her growth alongside Roc Nation.

Anticipation is building for Megan Thee Stallion's upcoming album Act: III, which she teased would feature a return to her Tina Snow alter-ego. The Houston Hottie has already charted three No. 1 hits and garnered 43 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 throughout her career, with three albums peaking within the Billboard 200's top five.

Her latest album, Megan (June 2024), debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and the Act: II deluxe was released in October of the same year.
