NBA enthusiasts have been buzzing about Megan Thee Stallion's latest track "Lover Girl," specifically her lyrics referencing her boyfriend, NBA star Klay Thompson. In the song, Megan highlights a distinction in how Klay addresses her, opting for "my lady" over "my bi***." However, this lyrical choice has sparked a heated debate online.
While some fans see Megan's lyrics as a nod to respect in a relationship, others accuse her of hypocrisy. Critics argue that while she praises Klay for using a respectful term, she simultaneously uses a controversial term for him, calling him "my ni***." This contradiction hasn't sat well with everyone, sparking discussions on whether there's a double standard at play.
“Praising him for not calling you ‘my bi***’ but in the same breath calling him ‘my ni***’ is crazy,” commented one fan on social media.
The public's response has been intense and varied. Some fans predict trouble for Klay, suggesting that taking on the "good guy" role in a high-profile relationship could spell disaster. Others are critical of the broader implications, wondering if societal standards have dipped to a new low.
Meanwhile, some social media users have shared their surprise at these dynamics, questioning the value placed on not being called derogatory terms while others raised concerns about self-respect.
Despite the buzz surrounding his personal life, Klay Thompson is keeping his focus strictly on the court. At the Mavericks' Media Day, he declined to discuss his relationship, emphasizing his commitment to his professional routine instead.
"I'm not going to talk about that," Klay said when asked about Megan. "But I will say that every summer doesn't change for me. Because I know what it takes to go the distance, and there's really no such thing as an offseason."
