Adin Ross said Monday that rapper Megan Thee Stallion and Roc Nation used a mariachi band to deliver legal papers to his home, a tactic the streamer described during a livestream conversation with podcaster DJ Akademiks.
“They couldn’t serve me outside my house,” Ross, 24, said on AkademiksTV, claiming that lawyers arranged for a mariachi to perform outside his residence to persuade him to come outside so they could serve the papers. Ross showed his viewers a photograph on his phone that he said showed the band in his driveway and said his lawyer had advised him to have opposing counsel contact his attorney directly.
Ross said he and his lawyer were planning a call to schedule a deposition and that he would inquire about whether he could stream the deposition. He accused Megan Thee Stallion and her legal team of "baiting" him and presented the mariachi appearance as evidence.
A Page Six request for comment to Megan Thee Stallion's representatives was not immediately returned. The allegation that lawyers used a mariachi to effect service was made by Ross on his livestream; neither Megan Thee Stallion nor Roc Nation has publicly confirmed the claim.
Ross has been publicly critical of Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, in the months since the conviction of musician Tory Lanez in the 2020 shooting of the rapper. Ross has repeatedly voiced support for Lanez and questioned Megan Thee Stallion’s account of the incident, at times using profanity in livestream remarks.
Tory Lanez was convicted for the July 2020 shooting that injured Megan Thee Stallion’s foot and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Lanez and his legal team have sought to overturn the conviction but have been unsuccessful to date.
Legal experts say that while dramatic methods of service can attract attention, courts generally require that service be executed in a manner that allows the recipient notice and an opportunity to respond. Parties who believe they were improperly served can raise those objections with the court and seek alternative methods, such as service on counsel, if appropriate.
Ross has at times said he would stream legal proceedings related to the dispute; his comments on live video platforms and social media have heightened public attention to the matter. He told viewers he would consult his attorney about next steps and his rights regarding public broadcasts of depositions.
The dispute between the streamer and the rapper adds to ongoing public fallout from the 2020 incident and the subsequent criminal case. It also underscores how legal conflicts involving public figures increasingly play out in the social media era, with livestreams and instant commentary shaping public perception even as formal proceedings move through the courts.
Ross’s account on AkademiksTV remains unverified by Megan Thee Stallion or Roc Nation. Representatives for both parties did not immediately provide comment to Page Six when contacted, according to the initial report of Ross’s claims.
