With Megan Thee Stallion by his side, NBA star Klay Thompson stole the spotlight at her annual Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, turning heads and warming hearts.
On the red carpet, Thompson opened up to US Weekly about how honored he feels to support Megan, praising her as an inspiration not just in music, but in philanthropy.
“Well, it feels incredible because Megan is such a special person, and she inspires so many around the world. I’ve seen it firsthand,” he said.
“This is just another incredible feat of hers to be able to give back, create a foundation, and raise a ton of money for those in need.”
A Touching Tribute to Megan’s Late Parents
One of the most emotional moments came when Thompson shared his sadness over never getting the chance to meet Megan’s late parents — her mother Holly Thomas, who passed away in 2019 from a brain tumor, and her father Joseph Pete Jr., who died in 2015.
“I would have loved to meet Holly and Joe,” Klay confessed.
“They’d be so proud of their only daughter — not only for what she’s accomplished but also for everything she will continue to do.”
Thompson praised Megan’s resilience and refusal to be boxed in, emphasizing her global influence and generosity.
“She has never been put in a box or allowed herself to be in a box, and she just continues to inspire so many people around the world.”
