Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson’s breakup has caused controversy. In the middle of the chaos, a viral Instagram clip has claimed that Stephen Curry praised Thompson after Megan accused him of cheating.
Fan accounts posted Curry’s Instagram Live with the caption: “Stephen Curry went live and APPLAUDED Klay Thompson after Megan Thee Stallion exposed him for cheating and broke up with him.”
It falsely quotes Curry as saying, “Y’all thought my boy Klay was a simp, but he far from that – he a dog” and “City boys up 1.”
The clip dates back months before Megan’s April 25 Instagram Stories post. Similar fakes used Curry’s 2024 farewell to Klay when he left the Golden State Warriors for the Dallas Mavericks.
After a fact-check, it has been concluded that Stephen Curry has made no such statements. Many users were able to identify the fake video, while others remained convinced that Curry backed Thompson after Megan accused him of cheating.
She wrote on Instagram Stories: “Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet.’ Holding you down through your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment toward me during your basketball season… Now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’???? … I need a REAL break after this one… bye y’all.” She told TMZ, “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.”
The couple went public in July 2025, with gifts like a $200K Bentley and courtside dates. Klay Thompson has not responded publicly.
Social media reactions
X and Reddit blew up fast. “Steph got Klay’s back! City boys up!” fans shared widely on Instagram. “Curry calling Klay a dog — legend,” echoed across X.
Debunkers countered: “Fake AF, old clip twisted for drama,” on Reddit’s r/NBATalk. “Curry wouldn’t drag Megan — fact-check it,” urged more users on X. Early mockers said: “Simp Klay exposed, thanks Steph,” before corrections spread.
“Viral lies hit NBA fast this season,” one Instagram post warned. Golden State Warriors fans reminisced about the “Splash Bros” era amid the breakup buzz, posting old highlights. Some blamed Klay’s playoff slump: “Cheating rumors explain Mavericks struggles,” users wrote on X.
