Megan Thee Stallion “Wanted to Die” as Rapper Gives Emotional Testimony in Defamation Trial Over Blogger’s Cyberbullying Campaign

Megan Thee Stallion has been in a legal battle with YouTuber and blogger Milagro Gramz for over a year now. The celebrity rapper's attorneys filed a defamation lawsuit against Gramz on Oct. 30, 2024.

Stallion accused the YouTuber of spreading false statements in favour of her ex-boyfriend Tory Lanez, who is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Stallion in the foot in 2020. The defamation case's trial started in Miami on Monday at the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. U.S. Courthouse.

On Thursday, "The Shade Room" reported Stallion's testimony during the trial on Instagram. According to the pop-culture media outlet, the celebrity rapper and Klay Thompson's girlfriend alleged that Gramz attacked her character and made jokes about her getting shot.

"She's created a space for a lot of people to come speak negatively about me," Stallion said. "I felt like nobody cared that I was shot. I know everyone was making jokes about it."

Later, Stalliion said that cyberbullying made her give up on living.

"There was a time that I genuinely didn't care if I lived or died," she continued. "I felt like no way I mattered. No way I should even be living. I don't want to be here. I'm tired of waking up. I just wanted to die. I was so tired of being alive."

Megan Thee Stallion and Gramz will attend the fifth day of the defamation trial on Friday.

Megan Thee Stallion sends clear message to bloggers and streamers amid legal battles

Megan Thee Stallion sent a clear message to bloggers and streamers while exiting the trial of her defamation case against Milagro Gramz. Independent reporter Meghann Cuniff approached Stallion on her way out of the courthouse and asked her for a message to other bloggers about their behaviour online.

The celebrity gave a rigid answer as she continued walking towards her car.

"Just because you have freedom of speech does not mean you have freedom to bully," she said.

As Megan Thee Stallion left the courthouse tonight, @papillonsocial1 asked what she wants other bloggers to know about their behavior online. "Just because you have freedom of speech does not mean you have freedom to bully," Megan said. She continues testifying tomorrow.

Megan Thee Stallion's words were a warning and advice to internet personalities around the world, who think that it is normal to go after a person. Stallion is not the first black female rapper to file a defamation suit against an internet personality.

Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have also walked down this path. Cardi B had filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K, while Minaj took the blogger Nosey Heaux to court for a similar reason.
