Lauren LaRosa (2:51)

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody, you know, she don't lie about that, right?

Old Navy Ad Voice (2:57)

Lauren came in.

Lauren LaRosa (3:01)

Hey, y'. All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, today we are going to get into some business because we got a lot to talk about when it comes to Meg the Stallion and her man. Her man, her man, her man, her baby. If you have not heard me Stallion song, which is a play on a song from Total, you got to go listen to it, okay? I've been singing that one liner ever since I heard the song. Especially because I'm such a my man, my man, my man type of girl nowadays. But, yes, let's get into some relationship things. So look, Meg the Stallion, music artist, rapper. I mean, now she's become like a hot girl. No pun intended. Because that is megdascan's thing, the hot girls. She's become a hot girl or hottie with the brands. You know, she's working with so many different brands now. You know, all. All the things megdasallian is doing, all the things. So she's been dating Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson plays for the Mavericks and he's a guard for the team. And basically what's happening right now is that something. And this is. This is what always happens anytime an athlete, whether it's basketball, football, wherever, is involved in a relationship, especially with another celebrity, because at that point, the relationship becomes the topic of conversation. No matter what's done, no matter how they blink, how they move, don't move, whatever. So every move he is making on the court, or lack thereof, because there has been some conversations about a lack thereof. And we'll get into that. They blame the girlfriend. Now, this is not something that is synonymous to Meg the Stallion, even though I know that people love to hate Meg the Stallion since the whole Tory Lane situation, Y love to pile on with that girl. And you know, people will because of this, because Klay Thompson basically had to get out there and defend her in the situation we're about to talk about, because there were some other athletes who were having a conversation about how he's been playing lately, which hasn't been so well, and blamed it on the fact that he got some nanny. But because Klay Thompson had to get out there and defend Meg the Stallion, there are a lot of people pointing out that or bringing up past situations where, you know, a man that Meg the Stallion was dating had to come out and defend her, only to then not be embarrassed publicly when other information came out. And that's not me judging Magda, any of her decisions or anything like that. It's just the narrative that has been painted around her because, you know, to give it some background, when Meg Desallion was dating Partisan Fontaine, who is a music artist and writer himself, this is when she was also on trial with Tory Lanez. And the whole shooting thing that happened, you know, during the pandemic. Now, while this was going on, while they were dating, there was a back and forth online between Partisan and the dababy music artist that Meg Thee Stallion has famously collaborated with. And, you know, there's just been some back and for there with, you know, former conversations and things about Meg the Stallion and her past relationships. And then at the end of the trial, certain things came out where, you know, there were allegations that Meg Thee Stallion and the baby slept together. There were also conversations about whether Meg Thee Stallion and Tory Lane slept together or not. And a lot of you guys will point out and have pointed out with this situation, basically, people think they're getting online and warning Klay Thompson to not stick his neck out there for his girlfriend, Meg Thee Stallion, because it always not. Because always. I don't want to say that, because in past situations, it has put the men or the man that she was dating at the time and just not, I wouldn't even say not the best spotlight. But it was kind of evident that Partisan Fontaine didn't kind of know all the information about certain situations when he jumped out there. Now, this one is a lot different because, you know, who was in her bed and who was not in her bed is not in question. And to be honest with you, I hate when people have those conversations. And because if the girl is single and she chooses to go and date and explore. We just talked about this with Vivica Fox. Let's just do her get up out of her bed and out get from in between her legs. Okay? Unless she is inviting you there, please don't invite yourself. It's how I feel about conversations like that. But I'm giving you guys this information just to add some color and some context to why a lot of the fans reacted to Klay Thompson getting out There and defending Meg the Stallion, the one that they did basically said, don't start that the thrown in. Well, for a lot of the, you know, the men that are in, you know, the boyfriend position with her. But I do feel like this. This situation is. Is very different because, again, her bedroom and who is in between her legs is not in question. Now let's get back to where we were, the current stuff. So Klay Thompson is, you know, again, big name in basketball, plays for the Mavericks. So there's a clip that is going viral. The clip is from hooping and hollering with Pat Beverly and Jason Williams, and they were speaking about Klay Thompson on their podcast, and they were talking about basically how he's been playing recently. Let's take a listen.

Hooping and Hollering Podcast Host (8:18)

Y' all said he trying to get him a pass. I ain't never seen Clay not shoot it like this. And for him to say, I'm out of my prime, like, come on, Clay. Like, he said that.

Ross Holiday Ad Voice (8:25)

Yeah.

Hooping and Hollering Podcast Host (8:25)

How many?

Diet Coke Ad Voice (8:26)

How many?

Hooping and Hollering Podcast Host (8:26)

Yeah, he's got a beautiful. So, yeah, you're speaking of bbl. Yeah, I'm from West Virginia, man. I've been taught a lot by some old folks, old white folks. It only takes one to drag a battleship across the desert. That's how powerful it is. So, yeah, it got something. You know what I'm saying? Clay Thompson. Oh, I ain't saying that's what it is, but that might be what it is.

Lauren LaRosa (8:49)

So Klay Thompson jumped in the comments of this clip, and he says, referring to my girlfriend as a pussy is so disgusting and disturbing, especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would y' all feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? And he tagged Pat Beverly. He says, do better, fellas. Very disappointing. And one thing that I love about Klay Thompson and the relationship that he has with Megda Stallion, she in her. The song that I was just telling you guys about, caught Lover girl, which is a spin on totals kissing you. She talks about how he treats her, like, how he's such a gentleman, like, you know, if I'm being honest with you, and it's gonna sound so bad because it's gonna sound like the bar is in hell when it comes to men and dating. And maybe it is depending you're experiencing and who you're meeting. But she just gloats about the fact that he doesn't refer to her as a be, as a. And that he says, my girl, my woman, my lady. Just in talking to her, like, you know, he's very sweet. Very charming, very respectful of her, and it allows her to be in her, you know, real feminine energy. And I think as. As a woman, you know, I understand that when they first popped out officially, because there was a photo that went viral. Magda was sitting near a pool over the summer, summer 2025, she posted a photo of herself. It was a selfie, but in the background you could see Klay Thompson. But we weren't for sure if it was him. People zoomed in on the picture and it was like, oh, this is Klay Thompson. What the heck? So that sparked the rumors, of course, because, like, why else are they together? She's sitting by the pool, fine as hell in his bathing suit, and he just there his swim trunks. But it was a made official In July of 2025, they attended Meg the Stallion's inaugural Pete and Thomas foundation gala in New York City. They were there on the red carpet together, very much. A couple pda, all the things, right? And people were like, yo, this is so different from her type. You know, we know that she is dated Tory Lanez. We know that she was in a relationship, relationship with Money Bag, yo. It had been rumored that potentially her and Trey Songs had dated at one point. Then I know she was dealing with the soccer player from overseas. And I don't know Klay Thompson. I think the reason why people said that is because Klay Thompson just comes off as like, such a sweetheart. Not to say that any of those other guys don't, but the image of him, people look at him, I guess, as like, this buttoned up. He's not the rapper. He's not the. You know what I mean? So it was a bit different for her. But I'm tell y' all something right now. Like, when you get to a certain point, when you are respecting yourself a certain way, that you don't care if the man's buttoned up, buttoned down, button sideways, button left, right, it don't matter. Like, you lean in because it just feels good to be seen as more than just something. So more than just, you know, sexually, what you can bring to the table, more than just who you are in your career. And it seems like, you know, I watch a lot of the content that megdasia posts, and she does like these cute little really quick vlogs, almost like they're reals, but they're vlogs. So she takes you in a day in life. And there was one she posted recently where Clay was just apologizing for picking her up from the airport late. And it was just so sweet. And he. Like, she's in the backseat. It's very Driving Miss Daisy. And he, you know, has flowers for her when she lands. And I'm like, after having to carry so much, let's take a listen to that.

Hooping and Hollering Podcast Host (12:04)

Roses for my boo. I'm sorry I was late, babe.

Anabe Sofas Ad Voice (12:06)

Damn it.

Hooping and Hollering Podcast Host (12:07)

I'm sorry. I thought I timed it well. Ah, just sorry.

Lauren LaRosa (12:10)

There's no excuse after having to carry so much for so long. Meg, the st lost her mom, you know, a few years back. She's been doing a lot on her own ever since. And she's talked about, you know, the dark space that that has put her in and feeling alone and all these things. I. It feels good to have a man that is just. He's full. Like, he's full and he's filling you up. So he hops in these comments because that is a man that does not want you to be on E and be drained by the Internet and the comments. And she's talked about how the Internet takes her to a bad place as well. So he hopped in these comments to defend his lady, and people were like, hold on, brother. Wait, don't even start that. But I get it. I. I completely get it for him. It's a respect thing, especially coming from people who are older now. I will say I don't think that. And it's gonna sound crazy. I don't think that the fellas on the Hoover and Holler podcast meant anything bad. I don't think they were trying to degrade Meg thee stallion by saying that. But I think. And the only reason why I'm saying that, because it is degrading the way that they refer to her, because she's not just, that's his girlfriend. Like, that's his whole. Like, they're in a relationship. He's building a life with her. They posted keys and. And put the. The heart with their fingers a few weeks ago. They. It's given. They live together. You know what I mean? It seems serious and they're planning their future together. But I think men sometime are very tone deaf, if I'm being honest with y', all. Especially when it comes to women. Like, men are tone deaf. I think the way that men look at women in certain situations, especially because y' all heard them mention her bbl and I'mma go out here on a limb. I don't care. Tell me I'm reaching. Don't care. But I feel like, especially women who have certain body types in certain sex appeal, the way that they are Objectified and referred to just as a matter of fact. So just casually in conversation, they refer to Meg Thee stallion as some pussy. Like this, not his whole girlfriend. I wouldn't be surprised that this not soon to be his wife. He's referred to her as that he. It gives that energy when you see them together. But even if not, even if they just date, it doesn't work out and they move on. Still. It's just very tone deaf. It's very disrespectful and I don't think they meant anything by it. But I think men in the tone deaf like world that not all men, but that a lot of them live in, especially the ones who do this, like, little locker room talk, which is what this is. Sometimes they need to be reminded, I can hold you. Or sometimes they need to be reminded that it doesn't matter the body type, the sex appeal, how she talks out of her mouth, you know, in her raps or whatever. That's a grown ass woman that should be respected as such. Okay, Because y' all got daughters, y' all got wives. How would you feel? Perfect question posed by Klay Thompson. Now, I, I understand the argument that they're making, right? And the only reason why I don't think it's fair to blame Meg Thee stallion. But if we're being honest, yeah, getting in a relationship does make you kind of like, you know, you be. I know for me, recently, in a very intense relationship, I had to kind of. We've had conversations. Like, me and BAE have talked. All right? We can't lose our focus. Both of us have very demanding careers that require a lot from us, that require us to show up a lot to be on it, to be detail oriented. People depend on us. Like, we gotta stay focused because it feels so great when you meet somebody and you guys are on the same, you know, same wavelength. Like you want to lean all the way in. Like, we were just talking about the other day how I'm over here blushing. We were just talking about how the other day, like, we are like, be. We've become like best friends because we spend so much time together. And it's because it just feels great to meet someone who actually is able to meet you where you are at, which it gives. Klay Thompson and Megdas are doing. But at the same time, Klay Thompson got a job that he got to show up for. And according to, you know, some of the reports, the people ain't liking how he's been showing up. You know what I'm saying? So Klay Thompson currently, according to reports, is averaging a career low of 8.5 points per game on a 32% shooting, including 28.9 from the three point range. So he is. He's basically just not performing how people know him to perform. And people are saying it's basically like it's a distraction. I think the conversation that they're having was fair as far as he's not doing well or as well as we know him to do. So something's distracting him. The obvious thing to point to is his relationship because it is on front street. But to call her just a piece of pussy, like this is not a woman he might be planning the rest of his life with is crazy. And I think Klay Thompson had every right to hop in them comments and defend his girl. So y' all need to stop playing with him about that. He did not a thing wrong, and I would expect nothing less from my man, my man, my man, my man, my baby. Y' all gotta go listen to that song. Let me know what y' all think, though. Y' all feel like it was a reach. He should have just let it go. Locker room. That's the thing too. I think the whole menace sports with podcast mics. It's not everybody, but you get the locker room talk that sometimes I think should stay off of. Off of a mic in. In a group chat or in a, you know, a group FaceTime conversation. Because again, and. And it is disrespectful. Everyone, I keep saying that they didn't mean to be disrespectful, but regardless, it was. It was disrespectful. But I think you gotta just, you know, think about. Think about the fact that, you know, that these people gonna see this. You know, Klay Thompson's gonna see this because of who you guys are. Even if not nowadays. Person with 2000 followers on Instagram and you make the right opinion or critique and it goes viral. And Klay Thompson, Meg decided to see it. You got to think about that type of thing. And I don't feel like you censor how you really feel. That's why I said the conversation is fair if that's how they really feel. But ain't nothing wrong with putting a little bit of respect on Meg the Stallion whatsoever. I think it's so easy for people to disrespect women in certain spaces, and that pisses me off, too. And I don't want to make this, you know, a race thing, but, I mean, you got the BBL body comment is is I've heard people literally have conversations about women and rap in a way that they speak in how they then come back demanding respect for themselves. But it's like, oh, but y' all rap about this. Men, rappers do it all the time. And maybe I'm reaching, but when you say things like. And again, I think what he was trying to say was, to be honest, that low key is a compliment about anybody's pussy. You know, you taking down all of that, you got this man off his game like that. But it's the referring to her, like, not even saying her name, calling her or making or implying that, you know, it's just a piece of pussy. Y' all let me know what y' all think. I'm Lauren LaRosa. And again, this is something that happens all the time. Giselle got it with Tom Brady. Kendall got it when Ben Simmons was in Philly with the Sixers as well. I mean, all the Kardashians, to be honest with you, like, the Kardashian curse is a thing as well. So it's not even just something that is solely happening with yo Sierra. I've been seeing Sierra get in. I'm not even a per. Like, I'm not like a sports girl. I. I watch it when BAE is watching it or if something pop culture related happens within the games, like Taylor Swift showing up or something like that. But I've been seeing people get on Sierra and blame her for certain things. With Russell Wilson, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift, it happens there too. People try to say certain things or even like, they. I remember they tried to say the NFL as a whole was distracted because Taylor Swift was showing up and they were gearing so much around her. Y' all, let me know what y' all think. Okay, I got two questions that I want y' all to leave this podcast episode thinking about. Should menace sports keep their relationship super private? Because you don't want any bad game to be blamed on your girl, your boo, your baby, or. Or. Second question, Was this a fair critique? Did they mean nothing by it? Am I reaching? Is Klay Thompson reaching? I want to hear from y'. All. I'm Lauren LaRosa everywhere. This is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. At the end of the day, y' all could have been anywhere with anybody listening and talking about this, but y' all chose to be right here with me, my low riders. I appreciate you guys. I'll catch y' all in the next episode because next episode we're going to be breaking down Issa Rae said a thing. She said she feels like her career is stagnant and I want to break that down. Okay, so make sure y' all tune in next episode. We'll be getting into that and some other things. Great discussion today. Can't wait to hear from y'.
