HOUSTON — Megan Thee Stallion keeps proving that she's THAT GIRL! 

The H-Town reppin' rapper posted to her social media channels Friday that she signed a major distribution deal with Warner Music Group that allows her to maintain her status as an independent artist, and she gets to keep ownership of her masters and publishing. 

The "Savage" rapper said this is the first deal of its kind. 

"I hope artists still on the come up or even artists who are already established never get discouraged by all the obstacles that come with this industry," she wrote. "Even with all the odds against me, I fought for myself, the hotties fought for me and @rocnation fought for me."

According to Billboard, Warner's 300 Ent. previously distributed Megan's music from 2018 through November 2023 while the rapper was in a legal battle with her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. 

Megan made national headlines last week after releasing her latest single "HISS." The song garnered a lot of attention, especially from rapper Nicki Minaj and her fans.

Nicki Minaj suspected one of the lyrics in the song refers to her husband. This song irritated Minaj and her fans, prompting some of them to release the address to Megan Thee Stallion's mom's burial site

The cemetery had to beef up security and notify police.
