Megan Thee Stallion’s label head, Carl Crawford, recently signed Erica Banks, whom many are saying is practically a replica of Megan in every way.
Only a few short years into her career, and Megan Thee Stallion is already producing carbon copies—at least, that’s what her fans are saying. After news broke that Carl Crawford had officially signed up-and-coming Dallas rapper, Erica Banks, to his record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, many took notice of the vast similarities between Erica and fellow 1501 artist, Megan Thee Stallion.

A clip of Erica spitting bars began making its rounds on Wednesday morning (June 17th), in which the Texan rapper exhibits a similar flow and attitude as Meg. You could also make the argument that the two of them look somewhat alike, although that doesn’t seem to be the common denominator for most people.
The car freestyle. The sample. The flow. The sound. Megan said pic.twitter.com/kF5LtG2E5h

Some even insisted that this marks Megan’s first rap “son,” as in an artist that was born out of her unique, signature style.

As you may know, Megan has had issues with her label in the recent past. Earlier this year, she sued Carl and 1501 for blocking her from dropping new music under the conditions of her awful contract. She went on to drop her EP, Suga, in March with the judge’s permission.
Although Erica was just recently signed to 1501, she’s been in the rap game for over a year now. We’ve even featured her on the site before, which you can check out right here.
Do you think Erica is a carbon copy of Megan or are people reaching?
