Megan Thee Stallion has had enough of what she’s calling “false statements and narratives” about her, particularly in regard to the Tory Lanez case, so she’s suing YouTuber Milagro Gramz.
Megan’s federal suit, filed on Wednesday (October 30) in Florida’s Southern District court, says that Gramz’s remarks on social media and elsewhere have had “a negative effect” on the rapper’s “mental and emotional state.”

“Defendant’s conduct caused, and continues to cause, significant personal and economic harm to [Megan],” it continues. “It injured her reputation and standing as a professional musician. It caused severe mental and emotional harm. It caused economic harm in Plaintiff’s efforts to remove the various ‘bots’ Defendant enlists to attach Plaintiff’s supporters.”
The suit charges Gramz with “promotion of an altered sexual depiction,” for allegedly directing her followers to a deepfake video of Megan having sex; cyberstalking; intentional infliction of emotional distress; and invasion of privacy, false light. The last of these is a type of invasion of privacy where, according to Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute, “a defendant is accused of spreading falsehoods about a plaintiff that would be considered objectionable by the average person.”

The suit talks about Gramz’s “conspiratorial relationship” with Tory Lanez, who shot Megan in July 2020 and is currently serving a 10 year sentence for it.
“Defendant acts as a paid surrogate used to spread [Tory]’s lies about [Megan],” the suit reads. Gramz “acted, and continues to act, on behalf of Daystar Peterson (also known as Tory Lanez) as an online rumor mill churning out falsehoods about [Megan] to her tens of thousands of social media followers.”

“Countersuit gone go crazy,” she wrote.
Another message seemed to respond to the suit’s characterization of her as a “paid surrogate” for Lanez.

Megan made a statement about the suit to Billboard.
“I’ve endured countless attacks on my character based on false narratives from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists,” she told the outlet. “It’s unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.”
In other Megan news, she recently tapped three Houston legends to appear in the visual for her new single, which pays homage to her home state.
Released on Friday (October 25), the “Bigger In Texas” music video sees Paul Wall, Scarface, and Slim Thug all make appearances in support of the H-Town Hottie.

The clip also features a full look at a scene shot at the Johnny Dang & Co. retail jewelry store in Meg’s hometown, a scene which she teased in an Instagram clip late last month.
