Megan Thee Stallion's Interscope deal lets her keep masters and publishing

Megan Thee Stallion's August 2025 distribution partnership with Interscope Records, a Universal Music Group label, lets her retain full ownership of both her masters — the original recordings — and her publishing, the underlying compositions. She releases music through her own company, Hot Girl Productions. Major-label deals where a chart-topping artist keeps both remain relatively rare.
