Megan Thee Stallion praises 'kind' Klay Thompson as pair make red carpet debut
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are making their red carpet debut.
The "Hiss" hitmaker, 30, and four-time NBA champion, 35, looked smitten at the rapper's inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16.
During a red carpet interview, the "WAP" collaborator told People magazine that "I won't tell you how and I won't tell you when, but it was a movie that (Thompson is) the nicest person I've ever met in my life."
The rapper – who coordinated with her NBA All-Star boyfriend in matching black looks – also told Page Six that she has "never dated somebody so kind," telling the outlet that "this is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.”
"I'm just grateful that he's here by my side and he feels the same way about me," she continued.
The game-changing couple went public over the weekend when Thompson posted a carousel of photos July 13 featuring a shot of him and the Houston rapper in an intimate embrace.
Later in the slideshow, another shot shows just their hands clasped together, beachside, Thomspon's blue and gold Rolex paired with Megan's baby pink acrylics and abalone shell jewelry.
The post is captioned simply "Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥," the emojis no doubt a nod to the Bahamas, where the two appeared to be vacationing. Thompson's father, former NBA player Mychal Thompson, is Bahamian.
Fans of the pair first spotted Thompson in Megan's Instagram post days earlier, sparking romance rumors between the respective powerhouses.
The Texas A-listers are the Lone Star State's newest power couple. After over a decade with the Golden State Warriors, Thompson was traded to the Dallas Mavericks last year while Megan is a Texas native, born in San Antonio and raised in Houston.
