Reason First: Megan Thee Stallion expected to testify against blogger in federal defamation trial

Yesterday, Daniel Kinney of Roc Nation testified in Megan Thee Stallion's defamation trial against Milagro Gramz.

The case to find Milagro “Gramz” Cooper liable for leading to suffering for rapper Megan Thee Stallion is still ongoing. The 2022 shooting that rattled Megan Pete and still continues to haunt her.

In a deal to be on Call of Duty as a player, she denied using her name, image and likeness because there would have been the possibility of her character being shot and killed.

To say the least, this shattered the victim of the shooting by convicted felon Torey Lanez real name Daystar Peterson. The character would go to archrival Nicki Minaj.

As she continues to go through life with post traumatic stress disorder, there seems to be a direct link between her mental condition and the firing at her feet over these past few years.

The suit alleges that Cooper started a whole motion to defame and verbally beat down Pete.

The reality of the situation points to Megan as an “alcoholic” and other vicious words. This is the talk and indications that seek to damage and destroy the character of the “Wap” rapper.

Emotional stress is a serious part of an industry that often celebrates hubris and materialism. What people don’t realize is the idea that the material came from ideas. And the stress is just something that arises when the artist steps away from the microphone.

Whether it’s financial woes or medical trauma or anything that could weigh heavily on their consciousness, they have to go through it, even with medical assistance.

Megan Thee Stallion is not immune to the mental health condition that afflicts millions of retired cops, war veterans, and others who have been in auto wrecks and abusive romantic relationships.

She has the fortitude to know that she needs to know about the way to conduct herself with PTSD. As long as there’s an industry ready to consume artists and include situations where potential physical harm can be a truth, it is up to the artist to guard their physical and mental health.

If she is to continue to be a factor and relevant in the rap world, Megan ought to find a way to create more music and earn more dollars. This will keep her busy while still fighting the trauma she has experienced.

To consider the fact the shooting over three years ago caused her such distress is a testament to her strength.

By creating a space for her to improve her mind, she should remember that there’s a chance for her to keep going through a business that does not tell you about the business. It is up to the artist to learn on their own and not just let anyone take advantage of them.

As a boss, Megan seems like she is able to handle such business. By going through with the suit, she knows that there will always be a place in the law courts to settle disputes rationally.

In a world where most rappers seek rewards from accountants and lawyers who stole from them or want to set right tax issues, lawsuits fly like legal eagles. For Megan to stand tall and remain a source of strength in her own mind, that is all that matters.

From her days trying to get on to her success as a rap star, she has proven to be a stalwart in the arena. Even with her mental disorder, she has persevered through the mess that has surrounded her.

As she stands poised to continue her reign as a leader of women proclaiming their sexuality and ability to command stages, Megan should be the one to march forward. She’s still standing, she’s still strong.
