“Megan met with Warner Music earlier this month and hopes she can get her music career back on track.”
When asked about the move, a rep for Sony Music said: “We’re not commenting on this matter.”
A rep for Megan McKenna said: “Megan has not been dropped by her label, Syco who Megan was signed to are no longer operating as a record label.“

While she always dreamed of being a performer and attended arts school in Chiswick, London when she was younger, Megan’s career took a raunchier turn after she appeared on MTV series Ex On The Beach.
Meg took part in the risqué show for two series, returning with her then boyfriend Jordan Davies where he popped the question in the villa.
Speaking at a BUILD in London event in 2017, Meg admitted she now regrets romping on camera with the Welsh hunk.
The Essex gal said: “I have a few regrets from when I was on Ex On The Beach.

“I did get a bit intimate with one of my boyfriends on there, wish I didn’t.
“But it’s not like the film crew are just there, they’re fixed rigged cameras and it does seem like there isn’t anyone there.”
During an exclusive chat at the 2020 National TV Awards with Daily Star Online, Meg vowed to shake off her reality TV past and take on the charts after her X Factor win.
Megan said: “I’m going to LA next week and then I am going to Nashville.
“I’m all over America in February. The album is going to be pop music but my songs have always got that twist.
“I have always got that country element with my songwriting but I would say that it will be current pop.”
