More importantly, the attorneys also wanted to scrutinize whether or not this could&#8217;ve also been the case to speak poorly on another artist, such as Meg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">As to how this relates to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/938940-tory-lanez-lawyer-uncle-speak-out-appeal-hearing-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Tory Lanez&#8217;s legal trouble,<\/a> the issue at hand is basically the media personality&#8217;s alleged supportive role in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/936269-megan-thee-stallion-alleges-milagro-gramz-deleted-texts-tory-lanez-dad-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">a supposed media campaign<\/a> against the Houston femcee, which he denies. In fact, he took to his personal page&#8217;s Instagram Story to express his criticism. &#8220;This deposition meg thee stallion got me in asking me bout Tory, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/drake\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Drake<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/nickiminaj\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nicki Minaj<\/a> more than their client Meg the stallion [crying-laughing emojis],&#8221; Ak wrote. &#8220;&#8216;U sure Drake ain&#8217;t pay u&#8217; &#8216;U sure Nicki ain&#8217;t paying blogs&#8217; &#8216;Who is grand wizard&#8217; &#8216;Did Tory send u bread on cash app?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DJ Akademiks Deposition<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Furthermore, DJ Akademiks&#8217; footage of the deposition shows some of the questions he answered. He said he has never been paid to not talk about a certain topic online, but he has accepted payment for promotion from &#8220;every record label known to man.&#8221; The only label in the clip he specifically mentions in his response to who has paid him for promotion is Roc Nation.<\/p>\n<p>Tory Lanez Megan Thee Stallion Case<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Also, Akademiks posted footage about the lawyers asking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/938396-akademiks-compares-drake-umg-colin-kaepernick-nfl-remarks-nessa-diab-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">his relationship with Drake,<\/a> specifically whether or not the Toronto superstar has compensated him with cryptocurrency or digital assets for any reason. &#8220;Drake has never transferred a dollar with me,&#8221; he replied, joking about how sad that is. Then, he did a double take when he received a question about where he does his banking.
