Summary
A federal judge denied summary judgment, sending Emilio Garcia’s 2024 lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, Roc Nation and related entities toward trial.
Judge Gregory Woods said Garcia presented enough evidence for a jury to find he was an employee, citing records that suggested the defendants exercised substantial control over his work.
Garcia alleges he was underpaid, his compensation was changed in ways that sharply cut earnings, and he faced a hostile work environment, including a 2022 Ibiza incident in an SUV.
Woods had already preserved hostile-work-environment and some wage claims in 2025 while dismissing others; no trial date is set, and both sides must now submit time estimates.
