According to AllHipHop, a federal judge in Florida ordered Lanez to cover Megan’s legal fees for a disastrous deposition he reportedly participated in. During this April 9 meeting for the Gramz defamation case, he allegedly disrespected the Houston femcee’s legal counsel by insulting her, interrupting questions, and feigning ignorance of basic facts and definitions.
As such, the sanctions against the Canadian star will cover that first round of questioning. Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team asked Tory Lanez to explain why the court shouldn’t hold him in contempt for this behavior. He and his legal team didn’t respond by the April 30 deadline, which has now led to this sanctions ruling.
Furthermore, Tory’s next deposition will also host a magistrate judge to supervise the procedure and ensure civility. Meg’s attorneys also want his pockets to pay for a special master to overlook future testimony, but we’ll see where the judge falls on that.

While that case seems incomplete, Milagro Gramz did have to cough up cash for Megan Thee Stallion’s legal fees due to a delay in her social media vetting. So it’s looking like an uphill battle for the defendants here, but anything could change.
We will see whether or not more legal updates and developments change both cases in the near future. Clearly, convictions, sentences, mediations, and civil moves were not enough to settle these matters once and for all. It’s been a rollercoaster to follow the whole thing. But hopefully a better era emerges for all sides involved once it’s all over.
