The show opens strong with coverage of Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation trial against blogger Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper), which began jury selection this week in Miami. Her legal team says the blogger spread “deep-fake porn” and lies in coordination with Tory Lanez—who’s now been fined $20,000 for obstructing depositions. The Hustle crew discusses how this case highlights digital bullying, celebrity accountability, and the resurfacing of old traumas.

Next up: Pharrell Williams is catching backlash after comments about politics that many interpreted as tone-deaf or passive-aggressive. He said he “hates politics” and claimed supporting a side automatically fosters division—tweets exploded after he appeared to criticize celebs backing causes while his business interests still benefitted from them. The Morning Hustle digs into whether his stance is principled or image-driven hypocrisy. And finally, the show shifts gears to a scary story: Tekashi 6ix9ine’s mother was held at gunpoint during a home invasion at his Florida residence while masked men ransacked the home. The crew discusses how fame, past legal issues, and toxic notoriety may continue to put artists’ families in danger.
