Megan Thee Stallion Sues Blogger For Alleged Cyberstalking, Promotion Of Deepfake Porn

Megan Thee Stallion on Wednesday filed a lawsuit accusing a YouTuber and blogger of cyberstalking and promoting deepfake pornography of the rapper, as well as spreading “false statements” about a criminal case involving hip-hop artist Tory Lanez, who was convicted in 2022 of shooting and wounding Megan.
Megan’s legal team alleges that Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, aka Milagro Gramz, has engaged in a yearslong “campaign of harassment and cyberbullying” against the rapper, spreading “falsehoods” about the high-profile shooting case to Cooper’s “tens of thousands of social media followers.”
A Los Angeles jury found Lanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting, which left Megan wounded with bullet fragments in her feet. The Canadian musical artist, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2023.
The law firm representing Megan accuses Cooper of being a “mouthpiece and puppet” for Lanez by promoting “the debunked theory that Mr. Peterson did not shoot” the Houston rapper, also known as Megan Pete.
“Defendant Cooper performed Mr. Peterson’s public bidding to denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements about Ms. Pete on her online social media platforms, for no other reason than to bully, harass and punish Ms. Pete for Mr. Peterson’s conviction and to tarnish her reputation, causing emotional distress,” Wednesday’s lawsuit states, according to a copy obtained by HuffPost.
The suit points to several instances in which Cooper allegedly made false claims about the shooting case in public.
In one example, the suit states that Cooper made a “false and outlandish claim” on social media that the firearm Lanez used to shoot Megan had gone “missing” and was not presented during his trial.
“The firearm remains in the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department,” the complaint states. “It is standard procedure in California criminal cases to show an image of the firearm in question rather than present the firearm in court.”
Megan also accuses the YouTuber of using social media to promote a deepfake pornographic video, referring to seemingly realistic footage that’s been fabricated with the use of technology. The manipulated video purportedly showed the Houston rapper engaging in sexual acts.
In addition to cyberstalking and the promotion of an altered sexual depiction, Megan accuses Cooper of intentionally inflicting emotional distress and invasion of privacy. The rapper is requesting a jury trial.
HuffPost reached out to mobradioofficial.com, a website run by Cooper, but did not hear back by press time.
Cooper acknowledged the lawsuit in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, writing, “I’ve been informed that I’m being sued by Alex Spiro on behalf of his client Megan Thee Stallion.”
The rapper’s lawsuit comes just days after various posts circulating on social media falsely claimed that a California appeals court had found Lanez “innocent.”

Megan released a statement about her suit against Cooper on Wednesday.
“It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life,” she said. “I’ve endured countless attacks on my character based on false narratives from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists.
“It’s unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.”
