It's only been half a year since Megan Thee Stallion came out victorious in her Tory Lanez shooting trial. With another Hot Girl Summer looming, she's now preparing to head back to court. This time Megan will be facing off against Carl Crawford, the head of her former label. According to documents recently obtained by Radar Online, the rap diva's attorneys have filed a deposition demanding a motion to compel against her ex-BFF, Kelsey Harris. More specifically, they're hoping to obtain texts exchanged between her and Lanez or Crawford using Megan's name.

The motion was filed on Wednesday (May 31) and additionally asks that Kelsey answer questions under oath on videotape. On top of that, Thee Stallion wants answers as to whether the 1501 Certified Entertainment head approved her former friend's "Bussin Back" diss track. As you may recall, the song was previously introduced as evidence in the aforementioned shooting trial.

According to HipHopDX, it's unclear at this time if 1501 has filed a motion to quash the request. Earlier in the month, Thee Stallion's legal team also submitted a motion to depose Darien Smith – an executive label who is currently dating Harris. The reason he's been named is due to his alleged "first-hand knowledge" of the situation.

On top of the trauma she's endured, the Houston hottie is apparently also having a hard time getting 1501 to comply with her "in good faith to schedule these depositions." As of now, the trial is scheduled to begin on August 7, leaving both sides just a few months to get their affairs in order. Do you think Megan Thee Stallion will come out on top in her fight against Carl Crawford's 1501 Certified Entertainment? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
