DJ Akademiks accuses Megan Thee Stallion of causing him "mental trauma" by body shaming him after her win against Milagro Gramz

DJ Akademiks recently reacted to Megan Thee Stallion winning her defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Cooper, aka Milagro Gramz, after the rapper accused Cooper of harassing and defaming her online in the wake of her 2020 shooting incident with Tory Lanez.

In the lawsuit, filed in October 2024, Megan Thee Stallion claimed that Milagro Cooper conspired with Tory Lanez, who is currently in prison for the shooting incident, and acted as Lanez's “paid surrogate” and “mouthpiece” during and after his trial.

On December 1, 2025, a Florida judge ruled in favor of Megan after a federal panel of five men and four women backed the rapper's claim. Cooper was initially ordered to pay $75,000, but Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga reportedly reduced it to $59,000.

Following the verdict, DJ Akademiks took to Rumble to discuss the trial and accused Megan Thee Stallion of perpetuating the same offense as Milagro Cooper. The streamer claimed that the rapper allegedly body shamed him, which caused him "severe mental trauma."

"Meg Thee Stallion claims that Milagro, who has 40,000 followers, made her pay half a million dollars for therapy...What do you think I felt like when it was someone with 32 million followers said that I should take my fat a** on. Come on, man! Think about it. That s**t caused me severe mental trauma... These days they're calling me Ozempic-demiks," Akademiks said.

He continued:

"Chat, Meg Thee Stallion triggers me every time. You know when she said that she saw the Tory Lanez video with a horse foot being chopped up, and it re-traumatized her? How do you think I felt when I see Meg The Stallion cooking a struggle meal for that bench player, Klay Thompson? I can't even look at food the same no more, chat."

DJ Akademiks claimed he is working on a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion

Elsewhere in the livestream, DJ Akademiks claimed that he and his team were working with lawyers to file a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, similar to the one she filed against Milagro Cooper. Akademiks said that the rapper had revealed that she spent $240K twice to attend a five-week rehab program because of "mean words" told by Cooper that affected her mental health and required therapy.

The media personality also said that it motivated him to figure out if he had been bullied by Megan Thee Stallion or her fans, saying:

"And I said, 'Wow, if that's good enough to file a lawsuit, does anybody ever say mean words to Akademiks? They do it all the time. Has Meg ever said some mean words to me? Absolutely. I'm not gonna lie to you. And I remember this very clearly. After a short back and forth with me and Meg Thee Stallion, where she accused me of lying, she said something that sent me in a spiral to severe depression."

Akademiks claimed that he had a case against Megan Thee Stallion, pulling up a February 2022 article from OkayPlayer titled "Megan Thee Stallion Rips DJ Akademiks For "Lying" About Tory Lanez Case."

The article featured multiple screenshots of Akademiks' back-and-forth with the rapper on social media at the time. This included an Instagram Story from Megan Thee Stallion, in which she had addressed the streamer and written, "Take yo big a** on somewhere."

Akademiks claimed that he had been fat-shamed since he became an internet personality, alleging that the negativity sent him into mental depression. He also claimed that Megan's comment "really f**ked" him up, adding that he lost a "lot of money."

Megan Thee Stallion accused Milagro Copper of promoting a s*xually explicit deepfake video of her

In her defamation lawsuit, Megan Thee Stallion accused Milagro Cooper of promoting a s*xually explicit deepfake video of the rapper to her online followers. During her testimony last month, Megan told the court that she felt "defeated" after the video, adding that it was "embarrassing" despite the video being fake.

Following her victory, Mari Henderson, the rapper's attorney, stated that Milagro Copper is required to cover the rapper's legal fees on the deepfake claim, adding:

“Not only is Milagro being held accountable for paying Megan compensatory and punitive damages, but Florida’s fee-shifting legal provision will require her to cover costs of Megan’s legal bills on the deepfake claim. This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences.”

According to NBC News, Milagro Cooper said she was not "ecstatic" about the verdict but added that she will "respect the jury and what they decided." Meanwhile, Jeremy McLymont, her attorney, said they were happy the jury did not award a seven-figure damage, continuing that "at the end of the day it was not a complete win for any side."

For the uninitiated, Tory Lanez reportedly shot at Megan Thee Stallion's foot while returning from a party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home in 2020. He was found guilty of three gun-related charges during a trial in 2022 and was sentenced to 10 years in 2023.
