Megan Thee Stallion has achieved a significant legal victory in her defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz, also known as Milagro Elizabeth Cooper. On December 1, a Florida jury of five men and four women ruled in favor of the Grammy-winning rapper, originally filing the lawsuit in October 2024. This decision comes after Gramz allegedly referred to Megan as “a paid surrogate” for Tory Lanez, who was convicted in December 2022 for assaulting her.
The jury initially awarded Megan $75,000, but U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga later reduced this amount to $59,000. The court proceedings revealed that Megan testified about the profound impact Cooper’s statements had on her mental health and music career, stating that the false claims subjected her to severe emotional distress.
Throughout the trial, it was established that Cooper’s actions included accusations of Megan being part of a conspiracy and sharing a “deepfake pornographic video” of her online. Cooper’s persistent insinuations of doubt regarding Lanez’s guilt were brought to light, even in the face of his conviction for the shooting incident that took place in July 2020.
The shooting controversy, which has haunted Megan since it occurred, is now punctuated by a ruling that reinforces her truth against the spread of misinformation. Megan is celebrated as a resilient figure in the music industry, and this verdict symbolizes her fight not just for justice, but also for the integrity of her character amidst the allegations.
