Megan Thee Stallion Confirms Breakup from NBA Star Klay Thompson, Exits Broadway Show

In a short social media statement, Megan alleges infidelity as part of the reason for the split.

The duo made their first public appearance last summer, though many suspect they have been together well before then.

Megan Thee Stallion, the rapper behind “Cocky AF,” and NBA player Klay Thompson have split after their almost yearlong romance.

The Houston-born rapper confirmed the news to TMZ through her rep, though she initially hinted at the news on her Instagram Story. In the snippet, she accused the Dallas Mavericks player of cheating and getting “cold feet.”

Megan Thee Stallion took to Instagram to speak out about the break up.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house … got ‘cold feet,’ Pete said in the Instagram Story. “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.’????”

As the dust was settling from her post, Pete’s statement to TMZ provided more clarity.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. 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 rapper said via a rep.

The publication reached out to Thompson, but he hasn’t responded or spoken publicly about the split.

The former couple confirmed their relationship last summer, and made their public debut in July 2025 when they attended the rapper’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City.

As for the cheating allegations, social media users believe WNBA player Lexie Brown to be the other woman. According to Yahoo!, Thompson recently unfollowed Brown on Instagram while Brown made her page private. To many, this proved that the two were distancing from one another amidst the rumors.

Brown later took to her Instagram Story to clear her name, absolving herself from the situation.

“I’ve seen what’s being said online, and I want to be clear, none of it is true, and I have no involvement in this situation,” Brown said in the post. “This week marks the start of an important and exciting new season for me, and my focus is fully on that.”

The rumors are quite far-fetched, especially with neither Pete nor Thompson have acknowledged them. Brown is gearing up for her upcoming WNBA season with the Seattle Storm, which comes after her battle with Crohn’s disease over the past couple of years.

Following the split, Pete announced her early exit from Broadway’s “Moulin Rouge!” — noting that her last show will be May 1 instead of May 17. She later released a statement about the news.

“It’s been such an honor to be part of a ‘Moulin Rouge!’ and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theater. Y’all work so hard and I have so much respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the effort y’all put into the work,” Pete said. 

Pete continued: “Every single person at the ‘Moulin Rouge’ has inspired me to go harder as an entertainer. I’m so grateful for the cast and the crew that made this experience so meaningful. Y’all are really some of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met! To all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey!”

A replacement performer has not been announced. Pete was the first female performer to play the role of Zidler, previously known as Harold Zidler. In April, the rapper had left the musical mid-show due to health issues. According to her rep, Pete was transported to the hospital and later diagnosed with “extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels.”
