Megan Thee Stallion opened up to fans on April 25 after splitting from boyfriend Klay Thompson, alleging in a social media post that the Dallas Mavericks shooting guard had been unfaithful.
In a note posted to her Instagram Stories, the rapper wrote: “Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house … got ‘cold feet.’ Holding you down through all your horrible mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season, now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’?? (…) I need a real break after this one. Bye, y’all.”
Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion began dating in the summer of 2025, with Megan later describing their first connection as “a meet-cute.” The pair made their red carpet debut in New York City that July. The couple had since been open about their relationship and indicated they had moved in together in October 2025. Speculation that the Instagram post was directed at Thompson spread quickly among fans, with many concluding the couple had parted ways over infidelity.
Megan Thee Stallion confirmed the breakup in separate statements to Page Six and TMZ. “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” she said. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
The breakup unfolded on the same day as one of the rapper’s scheduled performances in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” on Broadway. In fan-captured footage from her April 25 appearance at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre, Megan Thee Stallion is seen tearing up onstage during the curtain call, still in costume, turning away from the applauding audience to wipe away her tears as she received a standing ovation. She began an eight-week engagement at the theater on March 24, becoming the first female-identifying performer to take on the role of Zidler in any production of the show. It is unclear whether her emotion was tied to the breakup or the audience’s response.
As the video of the onstage moment circulated on social media, fans rallied behind the Grammy winner. “This lady has been through so much,” one user wrote on X. “She needs to take a sabbatical. Just a year out of the public eye.” Another user weighed in: “The saddest part about this is that she seemed head over heels for him. I think he was the only one she ever showed in public that much.”
A third comment read: “I honestly thought they were the perfect couple. I think the most hurtful part is that he allowed his family to be close to her, knowing that she doesn’t have any immediate family or support. I pray that Meg gets through this rough time and comes back stronger than ever.”
A fourth fan questioned Thompson’s conduct before the relationship began: “If he didn’t want to be monogamous, why didn’t he tell Megan Thee Stallion that before pursuing a relationship, or why couldn’t he find a woman who has no issue with that?”
A fifth comment captured what many expressed: “Megan really puts her whole heart into everything she does: Broadway, music, life. She’s still showing up and performing at the highest level, even while going through it. Protect her peace — she deserves better and so much love.”
