The internet has jokes.

Klay Thompson is currently dating Megan Thee Stallion, who recently uploaded a video of the Dallas Mavericks star enjoying her signature spaghetti, fried catfish and Hawaiian rolls. 

The following day,  the infamous NBA parody account (@TheNBACentel) reported that Thompson was suffering from food poisoning. 

"REPORT: Klay Thompson is reportedly dealing with food poisoning," the account wrote, citing TMZ Sports.

However, TMZ Sports never reported — nor have any other credited outlets — that the four-time NBA champion had food poisoning. 

While the account confused some fans, many pointed out that it was just a parody.

"Y’all haven’t figured out by now that this is a parody account? Everyone hating on Klay’s relationship is miserable," one fan wrote.

Y’all just haters he luv meg food," another fan commented.

Despite what fans said, Klay himself in the video said that Megan's catfish and spaghetti is "the best thing I've ever tasted."

Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion's relationship

It's unclear exactly when the couple started dating, but they went public with their relationship last month. They have already made their red carpet debut at Megan's Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala, where the Mavericks star raved about the rapper.

“Well, it feels incredible because Megan is such a special person and she inspires so many around the world,” Thompson told Us Weekly on the red carpet.

He continued, “This is just another incredible feat of hers to be able to give back, create foundation, and raise a ton of money for those in need. And I’m honored to be here by her side.”
