Megan Thee Stallion‘s legal team has subpoenaed Kelsey Harris’ boyfriend, Darien Smith, in her legal battle with former record 1501 Certified Entertainment, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online.
The subpoena orders Smith to be deposed before the trial starts next month.
The rapper reportedly believes that Smith has important information that could help her case against Carl Crawford.
The “H-Town Hottie” accuses 1501 label execs of refusing to produce Smith for a deposition.
Now, she wants them to produce Smith at trial to turn that information over.
Meg claims that 1501 conspired with Harris to create the diss track “Bussin Back.” However, the label categorically denies that claim.
Meanwhile, 1501 filed a motion denying Megan Thee Stallion’s claims last month.
The motion alleges that Smith is not an employee at the record label, saying instead that he’s an independent contractor. They said he worked with 1501 artists but did not have a deal with the label, Radar Online reports.
However, Crawford says Megan has a case of mistaken identity. He claims she has “Darien Smith” confused with “Darrian Smith, who are two entirely different people, according to Crawford.
“The allegations that 1501 has ‘maliciously collaborated’ in a ‘campaign to disparage [Megan]’ are as ludicrous as [Megan’s] refusal to listen to 1501 when it told her long ago that she was after the wrong Darien Smith,” the label told the outlet.
For her part, Megan claims numerous articles list Darien as an employee of the label.
In a motion filed in April, Meg claimed Crawford is pocketing all the funds earned from her hits while she receives nothing in return, according to TMZ.
Her lawsuit against 1501 Certified Entertainment accuses them of preventing her from releasing new music.
The trial is set to begin on Aug. 7th.
