Stephen A. Smith Defends Klay Thompson From ‘Chirp, Chirp, Chirping’ Megan Thee Stallion’s Cheating Claims–’He Doesn’t Deserve That’

Stephen A. Smith is just the latest to comment on the Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson breakup that has all of our timelines on fire.
Stephen A. Smith is taking the side of a certain baller who’s being dragged to Thee ashiest parts of hell for THAT Megan Thee Stallion cheating scandal.
“He doesn’t deserve that,” said the sports analyst.
After Megan Thee Stallion announced that she was done with Klay Thompson, the internet immediately turned the breakup into a full-blown group project. As previously reported, Megan confirmed the breakup in a statement, saying “trust, fidelity, and respect” are non-negotiable for her, and once those values are compromised, there is “no real path forward.”
Fans rallied behind Megan, some people dragged Klay, and others questioned whether the details needed to be aired out publicly at all. The rumor mill even pulled WNBA player Lexie Brown into the mess, but Brown quickly shut that down, saying none of what was being said online was true and that she had “no involvement in this situation.” As of now, Klay still has not publicly responded to the cheating allegations or the breakup–but he’s got some folks speaking up on his behalf.
That’s where Stephen A. Smith came in with the exact kind of loud, finger-wagging commentary people expect from him.
On his Straight Shooter with Stephen A. show, Smith said he did not know what happened in Megan and Klay’s relationship and did not want to know, but argued that Megan made their private business public by posting about it.
In Stephen A.’s words, he wanted to know why the “chirp, chirp, chirping” rapper could not “just break up and go on your merry way” instead of telling the world what allegedly happened.
“I’m having this episode on YouTube because I’m asking why is she telling his business?” he asked. “I’m not saying whatever she felt was wrong. I don’t know what happened in their relationship. Don’t want to know.
“Ain’t none of my damn business. Ain’t none of y’all’s either. But Megan the Stallion made it so this Saturday night.”
Stephen A. also leaned hard into defending Klay’s privacy, asking what Klay had done to deserve having the details of their relationship blasted across social media and in gossip outlets.
“How come you couldn’t just say, ‘We had our time together, but I’m back being single again…’ and leave it at that? Why we got to dog the brother out?” He continued, “Is there a wedding that I missed? Were there nuptials that took place that nobody knew about?”
Smith also pointed out that Thompson has remained silent amid the fallout, noting,
“Klay ain’t bothering nobody… this man is going to go down as one of the greatest shooters ever,” and emphasizing that he’s “never uttered a negative word” about Megan.
“He doesn’t deserve that,” Smith added, calling the NBA star a “future Hall of Famer.”
Of course, Stephen A.’s take split people just like the breakup did. Some folks agreed with him and felt Megan should have kept the details private, while others thought he was putting more energy into criticizing the person who said they were hurt than the person accused of causing the hurt.
