Kylie Jenner & Joe Budden Could Be Called to Testify in Megan Thee Stallion Blogger Lawsuit
In a case that’s already grabbing headlines across the hip-hop world, Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz is set to feature some surprising names on the defense’s witness list, including Kylie Jenner and Joe Budden.
The trial, filed in the Southern District of Florida, stems from Megan’s claims that Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, launched a targeted online smear campaign during the fallout of the Tory Lanez shooting trial.
That case, which concluded with Lanez’s conviction in 2022, centered on a 2020 incident in which Megan was shot after attending a party in Hollywood.
Joe Budden, Kylie Jenner Pulled Into Megan Thee Stallion’s Defamation Lawsuit:
That party, notably, was hosted by Kylie Jenner, potentially explaining her involvement as a defense witness.
Jenner's appearance on the list suggests that the defense may be aiming to reconstruct the timeline or details of the night that sparked years of controversy and online division in the rap community.
Equally surprising is the inclusion of Joe Budden, the outspoken hip-hop commentator and podcast host.
While the court filing does not clarify the exact nature of his testimony, Budden has previously spoken about Megan and the broader implications of how artists are portrayed in media.
His presence could relate to the role of hip-hop media personalities in amplifying or challenging public narratives.
Also listed as possible witnesses are Tory Lanez, his father Sonstar Peterson, Carl Crawford, the music executive who previously signed Megan to 1501 Certified Entertainment, and media figure Jason Lee.
For Megan, the lawsuit isn’t just about personal reputation, it's about taking a stand against a growing culture of misinformation and cyber harassment targeting women in music.
“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.”
With multiple high-profile figures potentially taking the stand, the case could have far-reaching implications for how online platforms and personalities handle the reputations of public figures, especially in hip-hop, where controversy can go viral in minutes.
As the trial date approaches, the industry will be watching closely, not just for the outcome, but for what it means for the future of digital commentary, artist rights, and accountability in rap culture.
