Megan Thee Stallion defamation case faced with defense referencing Bob Dylan lawsuit

Milagro Gramz defends herself in the rapper’s defamation case, referencing Bob Dylan's prior legal dispute for context

Megan Thee Stallion has filed a defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz over social media posts made during Tory Lanez’s trial. 

In these posts, Gramz accused Megan of being a “drunk” and questioned her credibility as a witness. To defend herself, Gramz and her legal team are referencing a previous defamation case involving Bob Dylan, in which a court dismissed a lawsuit filed by Patty Valentine. Valentine claimed that Dylan's song “Hurricane” falsely implicated her in a conspiracy to frame Rubin “Hurricane” Carter.

According to All Hip Hop, Gramz argues that Megan’s own song, “Cobra,” references alcohol abuse and depression, which she believes undermines the defamation claim. In the song, Megan raps about drinking and struggling with dark emotions, which Gramz suggests should be part of the conversation. Gramz’s legal team asserts that rather than resorting to a lawsuit, Megan should address the issues raised by Gramz’s comments and allow people to make their own judgments.

Gramz’s lawyer, Michael Pancier, compares the situation to the dismissed Dylan case, arguing that if criticizing a witness’s credibility in the Carter trial didn’t constitute defamation, then Megan’s lawsuit against Gramz should similarly be dismissed. Gramz maintains that her comments were a form of free expression and not defamatory.
