Whenever a Black woman levels up and gets into a relationship with a loving man who steps up big time, negativity always seems to follow.
It seems like rapper Megan Thee Stallion is having the time of her life with her new boyfriend, NBA player Klay Thompson. While many are happy for her after hearing about the positive comments the rapper made about the Dallas Mavericks player, there are people who seem to be unable to help themselves by having something negative to say.
On July 9th, 2025, it appeared Megan had soft-launched her relationship with Thompson after posting a picture on Instagram of herself lounging around a hot tub with Thompson sitting in the background.
Three days later, Thompson posted a series of photos on Instagram of the two of them from their vacation. In the pictures, the two were seen holding hands and kissing.
On July 16th, 2025, the couple made their red-carpet debut at the Pete and Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. The non-profit foundation, named after Megan’s late parents, Joseph Pete III and Holly Thomas, was founded by the rapper in 2022 and is rooted in supporting: women, children, seniors and disproportionately affected communities in Houston, Texas and around the world.
Megan was gushing over how happy she is with Thompson when she told People how the two met. “It was such a meet-cute, it was like a f***ing movie. I won’t tell you how, and I won’t tell you when, but it was a movie,” said Megan, who referred to Thompson as “The nicest person she’s ever met in her life.”
Thompson also had nice things to say about Megan and how proud he is of the work she’s been doing in giving back and raising money to help those in need, and how honoured he is to be by her side.
“Well, it feels incredible because Megan is such a special person, and she inspires so many around the world. I’ve seen it firsthand,” Thompson told US Weekly when asked about how he felt about attending the gala alongside the rapper.
As mentioned earlier, many people are happy for the new couple and are wishing them the best. However, some just don’t know how to keep their negative comments to themselves. Comments were made about Megan being a pass-around and that she should keep her relationship private. Others are accusing Thompson of being a simp.
While some will find their person in their first relationship, others will have to meet a few people before they meet their person, and that’s okay. That’s what life is all about. However, referring to Megan, or any other person in that matter as a pass-around is wrong. Just because a person has dated a few people, it doesn’t make them a pass-around. Sometimes a relationship just doesn’t work out, and when that happens, people should be allowed to heal, move on and start over with someone who will step up.
Another annoying issue is that men have a habit of referring to a man who treats a woman right as a “simp.” News flash to those men, being a good person does not make a man a simp. If you want to have a strong and healthy relationship that lasts, both you and your partner must do right by one another. If not, don’t expect your partner to stay around for much longer and vice versa.
We all deserve to have a love that makes us happy. When we see someone who’s head over heels in love, just be happy for them because they found an amazing person who cherishes them.
