‎Megan Thee Stallion Files Motion to Force DJ Akademiks to Reveal Source in Tory Lanez Shooting Case

‎
‎The motion is part of Megan’s ongoing civil case against Texas-based YouTuber Milagro Gramz, whom she accuses of collaborating with Lanez in a calculated campaign to discredit her. Court filings claim that Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, received compensation to publish misleading content about Megan while allegedly coordinating with Lanez to damage her reputation.
‎
‎In 2022, DJ Akademiks publicly shared restricted legal information regarding DNA evidence related to the firearm used in the July 2020 shooting. At the time, the documents were under seal. Lanez was later convicted and sentenced to 10 years in a California state prison for shooting Megan in the foot after an argument.
‎
‎Megan’s attorneys are now asking the court to order Akademiks to testify and reveal who gave him access to the confidential records. During a legal meeting in August, Akademiks made it clear that he would not identify the source unless compelled by a judge through a formal court order.
‎
‎The lawsuit against Gramz highlights what Megan’s team describes as a “years-long campaign to smear and intimidate.” Her legal strategy is now aimed at uncovering the individuals she believes worked in concert to undermine her credibility during the high-profile case. The court has yet to decide whether DJ Akademiks will be required to provide testimony.

'Christy' Review: Why Sydney Sweeney's Boxing Biopic Never Lands a Knockout

Image
‎David Michôd’s Christy sets out to tell the story of Christy Martin, the groundbreaking boxer who rose to fame in the 1990s, but the film struggles to match the intensity of its subject. Starring Sydney Sweeney in a physically demanding role, the biopic blends sports drama with domestic violence narrative yet rarely lands a knockout blow. ‎ ‎David Michôd’s Christy, starring Sydney Sweeney as boxer Christy Martin, falters with flat drama and late, uneven intensity. ‎Courtesy of TIFF ‎ ‎The film opens as a standard rise-to-glory sports story. Christy, a West Virginia basketball player, stumbles into boxing and discovers a devastating right hand. Under promoter Larry (Bill Kelly), she racks up victories as “The Coal Miner’s Daughter,” winning over fans but leaving little dramatic tension for the audience.

'Superman' review: James Gunn's Superman balances charm with chaos

Image
Superman (2025) arrives burdened by expectations few films would want to carry. More than just another iteration of a classic comic book character, this marks the foundational step for a newly minted cinematic universe from DC Studios. At the center of this endeavor stands James Gunn, who not only directs but also pens the screenplay. Following his success with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series and DC's The Suicide Squad, Gunn was tapped to set the tone for Warner Bros. Discovery’s latest superhero venture. Under CEO David Zaslav, who has aggressively reshaped the studio’s strategy by shelving and selling off completed content, Superman’s commercial success may prove pivotal for the entire DC Universe slate titled “Gods and Monsters.” ‎ ‎ James Gunn’s Superman (2025) delivers strong performances and vibrant visuals but stumbles with overcrowded plotting and rushed franchise setup. ‎Warner Bros. ‎ ‎DC’s previous shared universe collapsed under the weight of inc...
