Meghann Cuniff had shared a statement from Stallion's lawyers, which claimed that the judge had not given a final judgment on the defamation count. 

Cuniff is a legal affairs reporter working in Southern California, who covers and breaks down news, investigations, long-form narrative and high-profile trials. 

Cuniff's coverage of Tory Lanez's trial from 2022 - for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot - had gained national fame, leading to her being featured in The 19th News and GQ. 

In 2008, The Spokesman-Review praised Meghann for helping pioneer the use of Twitter to cover trials as a reporter. 

Cuniff has also been profiled as "arguably the most influential legal journalist working today" by The Washington Post.

While Megan Thee Stallion might have praised Meghann Cuniff's coverage on the ongoing developments of her defamation lawsuit trial against Milagro Gramz, DJ Akademiks doesn't agree with the reporter. 

In fact, in his recent livestream, Ak even claimed that the rapper's retweet was just another attempt of playing victim, saying:

"Someone has to tap Megan on the shoulder, when you said you want 'real media/news,' because you're trying to bring up Meghann Cuniff because she's on your side. She seems to lean in your favor... I'll tell you where I got the number."

DJ Akademiks then dug up an NBC News article mentioning the amount that was being highlighted over social media, citing it as the source behind the information. He continued:

"We're not talking about the independent creators anymore. Let me tell you where I got it from. I got it from NBC News 6 Florida. When you scroll down, it reads 'Pete was awarded $59,000 in damages, but had been seeking tens of millions' - that's where I got it from... it seems that apparently Megan's saying that where I got it from - 'cause I got it from NBC - they ain't real media news either. So we need to ask Megan Thee Stallion: What's real media news?"

​As opposed to the $59K dollars cited in NBC News - and other credible media outlets - Cuniff's claim was that the judge had settled for $75K, and might add more to it after including the reimbursement of Stallion's legal fees.
