Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson has captured public attention off the court. A heartfelt apology video to his girlfriend, rapper Megan Thee Stallion, has gone viral across social media platforms.
The incident occurred while Thompson was absent from the Mavericks’ 111-105 victory over the Washington Wizards due to illness.
Megan Thee Stallion shared the intimate moment with her 32.7 million Instagram followers. The video, part of a travel recap, showed Thompson approaching her car with a large bouquet of roses.

This public display effectively quiets recent speculation about trouble in the couple’s relationship. Rumours had circulated after Thompson avoided questions about his girlfriend at a recent Dallas Media Day.
However, Megan Thee Stallion has consistently confirmed their bond. She first hinted at the romance in July, and the couple later made their first official public appearance together at a New York gala.
The rapper provided further confirmation of their strong connection through their art. Her latest track, “Lover Girl,” includes lyrics that fans interpret as a direct reference to Thompson.
In the song, she sings, “He knows he’s a star, but he’s my biggest fan.” This musical tribute follows their frequent appearances together on each other’s social media accounts. Meanwhile, on the court, the Dallas Mavericks will next face the Milwaukee Bucks at the American Airlines Centre
