Celebrity stylist Eric Archibald and his firm Six K are seeking more than $1.2 million in alleged unpaid wardrobe fees. The rapper says an internal audit found the invoices cannot be substantiated.
Megan Thee Stallion is contesting a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court that accuses her of failing to pay more than $1.2 million in styling and wardrobe expenses accumulated over roughly 19 months of work.
The complaint was filed by celebrity stylist Eric Archibald and his firm, Six K, who claim the rapper, born Megan Pete, hired Archibald to provide styling services for a range of appearances and events between January 2024 and August 2025. According to court documents reviewed by People, the plaintiffs allege the total outstanding balance is $1,243,501.98.
What the lawsuit claims
Archibald and Six K say they submitted invoices to Megan and several related business entities between January 2025 and January 2026, and that each invoice was supported by a deal memo acknowledged by the relevant entity via email. The complaint states that despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter privately over the course of nearly two years, no settlement has been reached.
As one example of the alleged debt, the filing includes an itemized memo from July 2025 for styling services provided at the inaugural Pete and Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. That single document totals $53,800 and covers prep days, styling assistants, and three gowns worn at the July 16 event.
The plaintiffs argue the unpaid balance has affected them financially and professionally, and that a portion of the money owed is tied to third-party vendors who have not been paid either. They are seeking immediate payment of the outstanding invoices.
Megan’s response
The rapper pushed back firmly. Her team told People that a comprehensive financial audit conducted internally had turned up what she described as fraudulent invoices, unsupported charges, and styling shipments linked to addresses that could not be verified. She said those findings had been raised with Archibald’s team repeatedly before the lawsuit was filed, and that filing suit rather than engaging with the audit’s findings was Archibald’s choice.
She made clear she does not intend to pay charges she considers unsubstantiated, and said the facts support her position.
Recent context
The lawsuit lands during a period that has been legally eventful for Megan. In December 2025, a jury found in her favor in a defamation case she brought against blogger Milagro Gramz, whose legal name is Milagro Elizabeth Cooper. Megan had accused the blogger of spreading false claims on behalf of Tory Lanez following the 2020 shooting incident. Nine jurors sided with Megan.
Her public schedule has also been notable in recent months. She exited Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! The Musical early after suffering a health scare onstage on March 30, 2026, when she was rushed to a hospital mid-performance. She had been scheduled to continue through May 17 but played her last show on May 1. She later described the experience as a significant wake-up call. In late May, she walked the runway at Paraiso Miami Swim Week for her swimwear label, Hot Girl Summer.
What comes next
Neither the court nor either party has announced a hearing date or any movement toward settlement. Megan’s legal team has indicated they intend to contest the suit. The case will proceed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
