Megan Thee Stallion is not just sitting at home and crying over the Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson. In fact, she has hardly shed a tear. Only a few days after what turned out to be one of the most sensational celebrity breakups of 2026, Meg is already outside and having the time of her life.
Footage shared on Twitter shows Megan Thee Stallion out at a club wearing a bright orange outfit, dancing and socializing with friends. In one moment captured on video, she is seen taking a shot. Fans had mixed reactions, with some defending her right to have fun and others expressing concern.
After Megan and Klay Thompson revealed their relationship in July 2025, they had been together almost nine months by that time. On April 25, 2026, Megan went on her Instagram Stories calling out Thompson for cheating
She later confirmed the split in a statement to People, saying, “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.
The ‘Megan Made Klay Famous’ Controversy

The breakup sparked a wild debate online after a podcast clip from Madame Joyce went viral. She drew sharp parallels between Megan and Klay, arguing that female celebrities hold social power that is often overlooked. “We didn’t know Klay Thompson before Meg Thee Stallion. We didn’t know Stefon Diggs before Cardi B,” Joyce stated, claiming these men strategically date high-profile women for a “social come up.”
Mavericks fans reacted without delay and they had a lot to say. Sarcastically, fans said that Thompson was one of the most recognized names in the NBA already, a player who won the championship four times and played for one of the most passionate fan bases way before Megan ever came into his life.
Some fans referred to jersey sales, saying that Klay had shifted more merchandise than Megan had sold albums. Others mentioned his scoring performances which have turned him into a legend and his partnership with Steph Curry as the Splash Brothers is an iconic one the shooting duo that is considered one of the greatest in the history of the NBA.
Several fans thought that the comparison was really ridiculous. Most of them were of the view that giving credit to Megan for Klay’s fame was just like giving credit to WiFi for inventing the internet. Thompson had rings, max contracts, and was famous even before the two started dating.
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN also contributed his opinion and emphasized that Thompson is a four-time NBA champion, a Splash Brothers legend, even long before Megan came into the picture.
Klay’s Tough Season With the Mavericks

On the court, it has not been a great year for Klay Thompson either. He averaged just 11.7 points per game this season, down from 14.0 last year, while the Mavericks finished a disappointing 26-56 and missed the playoffs entirely.
With Thompson entering the final year of his contract and Dallas already shifting toward a younger core around rookie Cooper Flagg, a trade this offseason looks very possible.
