Megan Thee Stallion alleges infidelity and confirms breakup with Klay Thompson

The 'Hiss' rapper publicly called out her now ex-boyfriend in a statement shared on her Instagram Story on Saturday, April 25, writing, “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’????.”

Megan Thee Stallion reflects on relationship with Klay Thompson

In January, Megan Thee Stallion spoke to PEOPLE about her relationship with Klay Thompson, saying he entered her life unexpectedly. “Well, I don't never want to tell [anybody] to just jump in a relationship just because everybody else got one, and I'm not going to tell you to just jump in a relationship because you have to,” she said.

She added, “I didn't even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.”

Megan Thee Stallion also said, “This is one of the first times that I've ever been just overly comfortable,” adding with her signature giggle, “I'm comfy, babe!”
