Superstar rapper Megan Thee Stallion is accused by Kick streamer Adin Ross of employing a mariachi band to serve him with legal papers.
Ross said in a livestream that the 30-year-old musical artist and the company Roc Nation ‘couldn’t [legally] serve me outside of my house,’ leading them to procure the services of a musical ensemble to carry out their wishes.
Ross told podcaster DJ Akademiks of the strange strategy allegedly employed by the 30-year-old Savage artist and her attorneys.
‘Listen to what the lawyers did,’ Ross said. ‘They called a mariachi to my house. They called a mariachi, like a Mexican band, to perform outside my house.
Ross said the band was retained in an effort ‘to make [him] want to come outside so they can serve [him] the paper.’
Ross displayed on the phone screen in his hand a recording of the band in question after they were dispatched to his property.

Ross said he felt baited by the Hiss artist and her legal team.
The bad blood between Megan and the streamer comes from his stated support for Tory Lanez, the Canadian rapper who is serving a ten-year prison sentence in connection with an an alleged Julyf 2020 shooting of Megan’s foot.
‘My lawyer is like, “Adin, just tell them to contact me,”‘ Ross said. ‘So me and my lawyer are hopping on a call tomorrow to figure out when I’m going to do the deposition – and I’m going to ask if I can stream it.’
Ross has past on livestreams posted to X that Megan ‘got caught lying in 4K’ vis a vis a number of inconsistent statement she’s made about the shooting.
‘She said they weren’t having sex, then said they f–ked a few times,’ Ross said of Megan and Lanez, 33.
Ross said that Megan’s ‘never even shown her foot,’ and the injuries she did suffer came as a result of ‘stepping on glass.’
Said Ross: ‘Free motherf***ing Tory Lanez. And I will always stay with this statement – I don’t give a f*** where I’m at in life: Free Tory Lanez.’
Ross said Lanez ‘had no evidence on that s****,’ leading to his conviction, adding, ‘Tory ain’t do it, I promise you – it’s always “Free Tory” – show the bullet wound, b****.’

Megan made headlines earlier this year when she called Lanez a ‘demon.’
The shock statement from the superstar singer came after Lanez claimed not to have shot her on the summer night in July 2020 – an already-unprecedented time amid the social unrest surrounding the death of George Floyd, the 2020 presidential election campaign and the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In January, Megan obtained a civil restraining order against Lanez after testifying remotely to Los Angeles Judge Richard Bloom that Lanez had presided over a ‘campaign of harassment’ against her during his incarceration.
Judge Richard Bloom ruled Lanez must not contact Megan in any form, including through intermediaries, for a five-year period. Megan told the court that she feared that Lanez would seek violent retribution against her after he is released from custody.
‘It just seems like I have to relive it every day,’ Megan Thee Stallion told the court. ‘The person who shot me won’t let me forget it. I’m scared that when he gets out of jail he’s going to still be upset with me … I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again and maybe this time I won’t make it.’
The Grammy winner told the court that Lanez, from behind bars, has overseen a ‘campaign of harassment’ intended to ‘terrorize her’ and that she is ‘just tired of being harassed.’
Judge Bloom said Megan provided ample evidence that Lanez had demonstrated a ‘credible threat of violence’ that ‘serves no lawful purpose’ and is intended to ‘seriously’ harass her.
The Cry Baby singer – who said she has not ‘been at peace’ since the shooting in July of 2020 – told the judge, ‘Thank you, judge,’ after the restraining order was granted.

Attorneys for Megan told the court that Lanez was still trying to confuse the public about the details of his criminal case, with a fake story featured on X/Twitter last fall claiming he’d been declared ‘innocent’ in appeals court.
Megan’s legal team said in an October lawsuit filed federally that YouTuber and social media personality Milagro Gramz was hired to by Lanez to function as his ‘mouthpiece and puppet’ while the rapper serves his prison sentence.
Megan’s attorneys in December said in legal documents that Lanez (whose real name is Daystar Peterson) had worked with people on the outside to ‘harass, bully, and antagonize’ her, and that a criminal restraining order initially implemented over the shooting had not been in effect in the wake of Lanez’s conviction.
‘While [Lanez] distorts and recklessly disregards the truth in his desperate attempt to appeal his conviction, his false assertions have reignited a slew of negative, harmful, and defamatory comments directed to’ Megan, her legal team said.
Lanez’s lawyers replied in court docs that Megan ‘disagrees with free speech’ and the restraining order request was essentially an attempt to ‘weaponize the justice system’
Said Lanez’s legal team: ‘Rather than rebut the commentary or debate the issues … [Megan] has succumbed to the current trend of using the legal system in an attempt to cancel those opinions she disagrees with.’
Lanez was convicted in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm; keeping a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging the firearm with gross negligence.
In August of 2023, Lanez received a 10-year prison sentence in Los Angeles Superior Court, in connection with three felony convictions in the July 2020 incident in the Hollywood Hills.

In the sentencing, Judge David Herriford said that the positive portrait Lanez’s relatives and friends had painted in their testimony in the trial was ‘difficult to reconcile’ with his actions toward Megan.
‘Sometimes good people do bad things,’ Herriford told the court, according to the AP. ‘Actions have consequences, and there are no winners in this case.’
In the trial, Megan testified Lanez had shot at her feet and yelled at her to dance as she was getting out of an SUV following a party at the home of Kylie Jenner.
Megan, who initially did not publicly identify Lanez as the shooter, testified she had to undergo surgery to take bullet fragments out of her feet.
‘Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace,’ the songstress said in a statement a prosecutor read prior to the sentencing. ‘Slowly but surely, I’m healing and coming back, but I will never be the same.’
Prior to his sentence being read, Lanez – who faced up to 22 years in custody – had asked the judge for a short sentence or probation, stating his regret of the incident in hindsight.
‘If I could turn back the series of events that night and change them, I would,’ Lanez told the judge. ‘The victim was my friend. The victim is someone I still care for to this day. Everything I did wrong that night, I take full responsibility for.’
Lanez was credited 10 months for time served, as he has been in custody since his conviction in December 2022.

Lanez’s lead lawyer Jose Baez said he was ‘extremely disappointed’ with the sentence, and felt that it was ‘to set an example’ since the rapper is a celebrity, adding, ‘He´s not an example – he’s a human being. I have seen vehicular homicide and other cases where there’s death, and the defendant still gets less than 10 years.’
Prosecutors spoke positively of Megan for her fortitude in coming forward amid online hate and mockery aimed at her over the incident involving Lanez.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said, ‘I hope that Miss Pete’s bravery gives hope to those who feel helpless.’
In an Elle piece published in August of 2023, Megan opened up about the lessons she felt were crucial in the wake of Lanez’s sentencing.
‘For anyone who has survived violence, please know your feelings are valid,’ she said. ‘You matter. You are not at fault. You are important. You are loved. You are not defined by your trauma.’
She continued, ‘Just because you are in a bad situation doesn’t mean you are a bad person. Our value doesn’t come from the opinions of other people. As long as you stand your ground and live in your truth, nobody can take your power.’
Lanez stated he was not apologizing to the singer in a statement he issued on his Instagram page in the wake of the sentencing.
‘This week in court I took responsibility for all verbal and intimate moments that I shared with the parties involved,’ he said. ‘That’s it.’
He continued, ‘In no way shape or form was I apologizing for the charges I’m being wrongfully convicted of. I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something that I did not do … tough times don’t last, tough people do.’
