The split between Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson is currently one of the most talked-about celebrity breakups. Social media claims of the NBA star publicly accusing Megan of cheating on him in an Instagram live session have taken the internet by storm.

The rumor, which gained traction across platforms like X and Instagram, alleged that Thompson had publicly criticized the Grammy-winning artist over supposed financial expectations in dating.

Viral claims of Thompson's crash-out video

Megan had already made headlines when she sent Thompson a direct message accusing him of cheating and relationship-related issues.

Following Megan Thee Stallion's announcement of her separation from Klay Thompson, some social media users claimed that he went live on Instagram to address the matter. Those users' X posts claim that Klay said Megan requested USD 700K each month for "upkeep" and living expenses.

The rumors on the internet also claim that Klay accused Megan of having an affair with one of his teammates.

According to an X user, Thompson apparently said in the video, “She cheated on me first of course I'm gonna cheat back. I'm just mad I spent over 4 million on her. I will never do that again."

No evidence to support the claims of Thompson's crash-out or Megan's infidelity

No live session had been found or reported by Klay Thompson's fans during a comprehensive scan of his Instagram account.

There is no concrete proof that Thompson recently addressed the break-up with Megan in an Instagram live and accused her of cheating, or made the claims that are currently included in the video.

According to multiple fact-checkers, the videos circulating online with Thompson's comment on the break-up are reportedly videos from his old Instagram lives. The videos also do not have a clear mention of Megan's name in any of them and appear to have been cut and edited.

Neither Thompson nor Megan has made any additional public statements as of the reported scenario.
