Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson Make Red Carpet Debut: ‘He Makes Me Genuinely Happy’
The Houston rapper's inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala raised more than $1.2 million.
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson made their red carpet debut Wednesday night (July 16) in New York City at the Houston Hottie’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala.
Meg and the NBA star walked the carpet and even shared a kiss before posing for photos. While she didn’t give up how or when they met exactly, Thee Stallion raved about Thompson as a person.
“I have never dated somebody so kind,” Meg gushed to Page Six. “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.”
She continued: “I just never dated somebody like him before and I’m just grateful that he’s here by my side and he feels the same way about me.”
Billboard also caught up with the Grammy-winning rapper, and she explained how folks can get involved in helping their local communities.
“I feel like, first of all, you need to know what your community needs,” she began. “Like if you’re in an underserved community … I feel like you could put together some things at a local school because kids are the first ones that need the help. I feel like you could figure out what the elderly in your community needs.”
The inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala raised more than $1.2 million that will benefit programs impacting education, housing, health and wellness.
Taraji P. Henson, Lil Uzi Vert, Fat Joe, Muni Long, DJ D-Nice, Angie Martinez and Sei Less founder Dara Mirjahangiry were among the notables in attendance on Wednesday night.
There were even some fireworks during the auction hosted by Harry Santa-Olalla, which saw Klay Thompson secure two tickets to next season’s Super Bowl for $50,000, while Lil Uzi Vert put down $30,000 on an icy Eliantte bracelet.
It’s been a quick public build-up for the celebrity couple. Earlier in July, eagle-eyed fans spotted the Dallas Mavericks star in the back of one of Megan’s Instagram photos.
Thompson leaned into the rumors and hard-launched their relationship with a post of his own with Megan to IG, recapping their Bahamas trip. Thee Stallion then posted and deleted a TikTok video, which appeared to show her unboxing Labubus on Klay’s lap.
