According to legal documents obtained by Variety, a judge has ruled that American rapper Megan Thee Stallion is clear to release the remix of BTS' Butter on which she is featured.

Megan Thee Stallion had planned to release a remix of BTS' Butter this Friday (Aug 27), but in a new court filing, the rapper is alleging that her record label is preventing the song's release.

According to documents filed Tuesday (Aug 24) in Harris County, Texas, Stallion has submitted a petition against her record label 1501 Certified Entertainment and its CEO Carl Crawford, alleging that they are preventing her from releasing the song.

As written in the court filing, Stallion – referred to in the documents as her birth name Megan Pete – is seeking "emergency relief from the Court before this Friday, Aug 27, 2021, to allow her new music to be released this week as previously-scheduled."

In the documents, Stallion argues that blocking the release of the song will cause "irreparable damage" to her career.

"If Pete is not allowed to release a new track this Friday on which she is the featured artiste in a remix with BTS of the song called, Butter, her music career will suffer irreparable damage, including a devastating impact to her relationships with her fans and with other recording artistes in the music industry," the document states.

"Such irreparable injury to her personal goodwill and the silencing of her artistic expression in music cannot be compensated in the way of monetary damages. As such, Pete seeks emergency relief from this Court." – Reuters
