The NBA community is still in an uproar after Klay Thompson missed a shot completely — an airball that took social media by storm, but what surprised everyone the most was that the person who stood up to defend him was none other than Megan Thee Stallion.
Amid thousands of mocking comments and a video shared millions of times, the Grammy-winning rapper suddenly spoke up on X (Twitter) with just three simple but powerful words:
“Leave him alone.”
Those three words shocked the entire social network. While many people were still talking about Klay’s performance, Megan chose to stay silent for many days before giving a short message, but sharper than any excuse.
An hour after she posted, the hashtag #LeaveHimAlone climbed to the top of global trends, and the clip of the missed shot suddenly took on a completely different meaning — no longer a joke, but a symbol of resilience and quiet affection between the two.
A source close to the situation revealed that Megan watched the game live on TV, and as soon as she saw Klay sitting with his head down on the bench, she texted him encouragement:
“Don’t let one shot define you. I’m still proud of you.”
According to the insider, Klay smiled when he read the message, and responded with a single heart emoji.
Fans on both sides were quickly divided into two camps — one emotional, the other confused. One prominent comment read:
“She didn’t have to do it, but she did it anyway. That’s real love.”
While another said:
“If Megan says leave him alone, I think we should listen.”
The US media called this “a rare sweet moment in the cold world of sports.” One major newspaper even ran the headline:
“Klay may have lost his form, but he never lost his strongest supporter.”
When asked about Megan’s comments at practice the next morning, Klay simply chuckled and said, “Not everyone understands, but she always sees the best in me. And I’m not going to let her down.”
A simple statement, but enough to silence the entire press room.
Amidst the storm of criticism and endless chatter, Megan Thee Stallion turned an embarrassing moment into a message of loyalty, support, and genuine affection — something no throw can take away.
