Megan Thee Stallion, the Grammy-winning rapper born Megan Pete, is being sued for $1,243,501.98 by her former celebrity stylist Eric Archibald and his firm Six K, who allege she failed to pay wardrobe and styling invoices spanning January 2024 through August 2025. According to the complaint, filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County in early June 2026 and first reported by The Jasmine Brand, Megan hired Archibald through Six K but never paid the accumulated bills despite signed deal memos and email acknowledgments.
Archibald, a veteran creative director and stylist with a client list that has included BeyoncĂ©, Jennifer Hudson, Lil Kim, and Bruno Mars, brought decades of experience to Megan’s team during a stretch packed with red carpets, performances, and the July 16, 2025 Pete & Thomas Foundation Inaugural Gala at Gotham Hall in New York City, where the trio of custom gowns accounted for a $53,800 invoice on the complaint. The Billboard-covered gala raised more than $1.2 million for charity.
Plaintiffs say they spent nearly two years trying to resolve the dispute privately before filing the lawsuit. Smaller invoices cited in the complaint, including a $14,662.78 charge from December 2 and an $837.32 charge from December 16, suggest the alleged unpaid balance is built up from dozens of individual engagements rather than a single wardrobe deal. The matter has now moved into public court proceedings in Los Angeles, where many entertainment industry contract cases are filed.
Megan Thee Stallion’s Statement (via her representatives):
“My finance team conducted a comprehensive audit of Eric Archibald’s wardrobe expenses and uncovered fraudulent invoices, unsupported charges, and styling shipments tied to addresses that could not be verified. Those findings raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of expenses that we repeatedly tried to resolve privately with Eric’s team. Rather than address the issues from the audit, Eric and his team chose to file a lawsuit. The facts are
on our side and I won’t be coerced into paying charges that can’t be substantiated.”
Top-tier artists routinely invest heavily in styling, with red carpet, gala, and tour wardrobe budgets often running into six figures per year once custom pieces, fittings, assistants, and shipping logistics are factored in. The claimed $1.24 million balance in this case reflects nearly two years of ongoing work, a workload that put Megan’s wardrobe choices under constant public scrutiny.
The dispute lands in the middle of an already busy stretch for Megan, who is fresh off her high-profile personal appearances and a separate, unrelated legal saga involving Tory Lanez. Her team is standing firm on the audit findings, framing the complaint as a response to that internal review rather than a legitimate bill.
As the case moves forward, the court will weigh signed deal memos against the disputed invoice claims, including questions about the verifiable shipping addresses cited in her team’s audit. The filing is a reminder that even in an industry known for big spending, clear agreements, transparent billing, and documented delivery records remain essential for protecting both sides of a celebrity styling arrangement.
