EXCLUSIVE: Milagro Gramz Appeals After Losing Bond Fight Against Megan Thee Stallion

Milagro Gramz appealed Megan Thee Stallion’s $75,000 judgment but still faces collection without the $82,500 bond pause.
Milagro Gramz appealed in Miami after losing her bid to block Megan Thee Stallion from collecting $75,000, claiming she was broke,
The amended notice was filed with the court on June 30, and Gramz is now taking the fight upstairs after losing the stay battle in federal court in Miami.
This filing expands her earlier appeal to include the amended judgment entered against her in May. It also targets the order that brought Megan’s defamation win back to life.
The latest filing does not stop Megan from collecting the money. That matters because the judge already denied Gramz’s request to freeze enforcement during the appeal.
Gramz did not tell the court she would never pay Megan’s judgment. She argued she could not afford the money guarantee needed to pause collection.
That guarantee is the real pressure point in this fight. In Miami federal court, the usual appeal bond equals 110 percent of the judgment.
Since Megan’s judgment is $75,000, Gramz would need to secure $82,500 unless a judge lowers the amount. That money protects Megan if Gramz loses the appeal and collection becomes harder later.
Chief Judge Cecilia Altonaga rejected Gramz’s request to waive or lower that requirement. The judge said Gramz did not provide sufficient proof when she first sought relief.
Altonaga also refused to consider Gramz’s later sworn statement because it came with her reply. The judge said Gramz should have filed that proof with her first request.
That ruling left Megan free to pursue collection while the appeal proceeds. Gramz can still appeal, but she lacks protection from collection unless a higher court steps in.
Megan officially secured the $75,000 award after a federal judge reinstated her defamation verdict against Gramz in May. Gramz’s amended appeal now challenges that judgment and the order behind it.
The appeal notice says it was filed to cover “the Amended Final Judgment and all rulings merged therein.” It also names the order granting Megan’s request to reinstate the defamation verdict.
In plain terms, Gramz wants the appeals court to review how the judge restored Megan’s defamation win. She also wants a review of the final $75,000 judgment.
AllHipHop previously reported that Megan won sanctions against Gramz over deleted messages and discovery problems during the case. That history remains part of the larger battle.
If the collection proceeds in Florida, Megan can use the standard tools available to judgment winners. Florida’s Department of State says judgment creditors can file liens on personal property after a judgment becomes enforceable.
A lien can make collection harder to ignore because it gives public notice of the unpaid judgment. Other collection steps may also follow if the court does not pause enforcement.
