Megan Thee Stallion is teasing new music, and fans are convinced her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson is fueling the vibe.

She asked, “Okay hotties, my man gone to work now. Y’all ready for me?” and received a resounding yes in the comment section.
"Come home, the kids miss you," wrote one follower. A second person said, "Yes, sis, send that baby to training camp. We ready!" Thompson already has a busy schedule as Thursday marked the start of the NBA preseason.

The “Savage” rapper and Dallas Mavericks player hard-launched their love connection in July. During the offseason, the lovebirds both posted videos of their golf outings, boat trips, and couple’s gym sessions, giving fans even more reasons to be excited about their budding romance.
At her inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, Megan coyly shared that meeting Thompson was like a movie. Furthermore, the Grammy winner remarked, “I have never dated somebody so kind...
