Megan Thee Stallion Opens Up About ‘Very Rough’ Klay Thompson Split: ‘I Cannot Be Disrespected’
"I just kept trying to make pieces fit that didn't belong," the rapper said in a new interview.
Megan Thee Stallion recently unveiled details about her tumultuous relationship with NBA player Klay Thompson in an exclusive cover story for InStyle magazine. The Houston-based rapper, who graced the magazine's September 9 issue, shared her thoughts on the brief but intense romance that lasted under a year. During their relationship, the couple faced numerous challenges, with Thompson eventually being accused of infidelity, which led to their split in April.
Reflecting on the ordeal, Megan expressed that the relationship was "very rough." She emphasized that when something consistently makes a person feel uncomfortable or on edge, it's a sign that it may not be meant to be. In a poignant moment, she shared her belief that God often places individuals in uncomfortable situations to indicate that they don't belong. Megan admitted that she struggled to fit into Thompson's life, losing a part of herself in the process. Now, she's focusing on rediscovering her true self.
With regard to her future relationships, Megan has outlined three nonnegotiables: trust, fidelity, and respect. She firmly stated that if any of these values are compromised, there's no way forward, especially if she's disrespected. She vowed to remain Megan Thee Stallion in any future partnership, refusing to compromise her identity or go without her authenticity.
Megan and Klay first made their relationship public during a red carpet appearance at Megan's Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City in July 2025. The couple was together for less than a year before officially ending their romance, citing Thompson's alleged infidelity as the primary reason. Despite the turmoil, Megan has expressed gratitude for the experience, stating that it allowed her to prioritize her own well-being and move forward with clarity and peace.
In the meantime, she's gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated new album, Act III, which she has been teasing throughout the past month.
