Megan Thee Stallion Seeks Proof of Tory Lanez's Alleged Leak
LOS ANGELES, CA - May 13, 2025 - Megan Thee Stallion's lawyers have filed a motion demanding that social media personality DJ Akademiks reveal whether he received confidential DNA testing reports from now-jailed rapper Tory Lanez during his 2022 prosecution for shooting Megan in the foot.
According to court documents, Megan's attorneys claim that DJ Akademiks must disclose any communication with Lanez regarding the DNA evidence. This move comes as Megan prepares for her upcoming defamation trial against gossip blogger Milagro Gramz, who has been accused of posting false information about the 2020 shooting on behalf of Lanez and his associates.
"We're seeking to uncover the truth behind Tory Lanez's attempts to manipulate public opinion," said a spokesperson for Megan Thee Stallion. "If DJ Akademiks received confidential DNA evidence from Lanez, it would be a clear breach of trust and a serious matter that needs to be addressed."
Background on the case reveals that Lanez was convicted in 2022 of shooting Megan in the foot during an argument in Los Angeles. As part of his prosecution, DNA testing was conducted on the gun used in the incident. However, Lanez's defense team claimed that the DNA evidence was inconclusive.
In a statement to the press, DJ Akademiks' lawyer denied any wrongdoing, saying, "My client has cooperated fully with the investigation and has not received any confidential information from Tory Lanez."
The implications of this case extend beyond Megan Thee Stallion's personal experience. Experts warn that the alleged leak of DNA evidence highlights the dangers of social media manipulation and the need for greater transparency in online communication.
"This case serves as a reminder that our words have consequences, especially when it comes to sensitive information," said Dr. Rachel Kim, a digital media expert at UCLA. "We must be vigilant in protecting the integrity of online discourse and ensuring that individuals are held accountable for their actions."
The defamation trial against Milagro Gramz is set to begin soon, with Megan's lawyers seeking damages for the harm caused by Gramz's false statements about the 2020 shooting.
As the case unfolds, one thing is clear: the pursuit of truth and accountability in the digital age requires a commitment to transparency and responsibility.
