Megan Thee Stallion Details Reactions to Nicki Minaj & Drake Diss Tracks During Defamation Trial
Table of Contents
Megan Thee Stallion addressed pointedly dismissive reactions to diss tracks from Nicki Minaj and Drake while testifying in her civil trial against blogger Milagro “Gramz” Cooper on Monday, November 24. The trial, unfolding in Miami court, centers on accusations that Cooper conspired with Tory Lanez to orchestrate a campaign of online harassment against the rapper.
Testimony Focuses on Public Dissension
During cross-examination by Cooper’s attorney, Jeremy McLymont, Megan Thee Stallion was questioned about her responses to public criticisms leveled against her through music. McLymont specifically inquired about her feelings regarding Minaj’s 2024 track, “Big Foot.” According to legal affairs reporter Meghan Cuniff, Megan described the song as “just so silly in the beginning,” adding, “I couldn’t get through it. I just feel like it wasn’t something I wanted to keep listening to.”
McLymont followed up, probing whether Megan possessed the ability to disengage from unwanted content. “As it pertains to Nicki Minaj, yes,” Megan affirmed. This exchange highlights a deliberate attempt to establish Megan’s capacity to filter out negativity, potentially countering claims of undue emotional distress.
Addressing Drake’s “Circo Loco” Lyrics
The questioning also turned to a lyric from Drake’s 2022 collaboration album Her Loss with 21 Savage, “Circo Loco”—specifically the line, “This bi**h lie ’bout getting shots but she still a stallion”—widely interpreted as a reference to Megan. Megan acknowledged the potential connection but characterized the approach as indirect.
“If he is talking about me, he’s using it in a very indirect way,” she stated. “If he was talking about me he could’ve been more direct, because I don’t have butt shots.” This response directly refuted the implication of the lyric, which alluded to cosmetic surgery.
Megan’s initial reaction to the song, revealed in a now-deleted tweet from the album’s release date, was far more forceful. She wrote, “Stop using my shooting for clout bi*h as nias. Since when TF is it cool to joke abt women getting shot. You nias especially rap ni**gas are lame!” This earlier statement underscores the deep emotional impact the lyric had on the artist.
Core of the Defamation Case
The trial’s central argument revolves around Megan’s claim that Cooper actively participated in a concerted effort to harass her, allegedly collaborating with Tory Lanez. This harassment included the dissemination of a fabricated AI-generated video depicting Megan in a sexually explicit situation.
Last week, Megan testified to the profound despair caused by this online abuse, stating she “didn’t care if [she] lived or died” due to the negativity. Testimony from Megan’s manager further revealed that the rapper sought treatment to cope with the emotional fallout.
The case underscores the severe consequences of online harassment and the legal battles artists face in protecting their reputations and mental well-being in the digital age.
