Recently, Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion made their relationship public, and ever since, the spotlight has followed them closely. While many fans have shown support for the couple, others have crossed the line. One particular incident made headlines after a stranger approached Thompson in public with a highly inappropriate question.
The moment took place in New York, where Thompson was walking when a stranger suddenly confronted him. According to Firstsportz, the man asked Thompson about Megan’s ex-boyfriend, Tory Lanez, a topic loaded with controversy. Thompson didn’t hide his irritation. He immediately replied, “Bro, get away from me. Get away from me.”
His irritation was clearly visible
His reaction was not only immediate but also understandable. In 2020, Lanez was accused of assaulting Megan Thee Stallion at a pool party hosted by Kylie Jenner. Rumors even suggest that Lanez got into a heated altercation with Thompson at the same event and fired a gun, which led to a 10-year prison sentence for the rapper. Given this background, it makes perfect sense that Thompson wants nothing to do with such topics.

Despite the stranger’s provocation, Thompson stayed calm and avoided escalating the situation. His composed response showed maturity, even though the question clearly crossed a personal boundary.
After the video of the incident surfaced online, Thompson’s fans quickly came to his defense on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter). They condemned the man behind the camera for his lack of respect and praised Klay for handling the situation with class.
Some users commented:
“Imagine meeting one of the top 3 shooters of all time and a future Hall of Famer, then doing some dumb shit like this.”
“Just let my guy Klay have some privacy 🙄”
“The fact that people like this guy behind the camera exist is exhausting.”
Clearly, many feel that Klay Thompson deserves respect—not public harassment—especially regarding sensitive personal matters.
