Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has a new connection to the NBA and it has nothing to do with her boyfriend, Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson. 

The hip hop star has scored a sponsorship deal with Fanatics Sportsbook, who happens to be an official sponsor of the league. 

On Tuesday, Oc. 21, the "Savage" singer shared a video promoting her new deal on Instagram. 

In the short clip, Thompson's girlfriend, 30, sported a vintage 1946 NBA coat marking the first year of the league's existence. She also had a custom jersey with the name "Thee Stallion" and the number "95," likely an ode to her birth year, stitched on the back, rested on a chair. 

She captioned the post, "Thee hotties are locked in."

Fans react after Meghan Thee Stallion's Fanatics Sportsbook deal sparks mixed opinions online

Shortly after Meghan Thee Stallion announced her newest venture, fans flooded social media with mixed reactions. 

"Oof love Megan but promoting gambling is a bit yikes," one user commented on Reddit. 

"I love my girl but sports gambling is not the play," a second person wrote. 

"Gambling? In this economy? Nah babes. Hot girls invest," a third added. 

While her latest business move drew some criticism, plenty of other fans hyped up her new deal. 

"Oh I knew this was coming we love brand deals," one person said. 

"Making money while supporting your man i know that’s right," a second wrote. 

"Megan the MOGUL," another added. 

It's unclear if Thompson offered up any support in the rapper's new deal, however, the two have seemingly gotten closer in recent months. 

Just last week, Meghan was spotted sitting courtside at the Mavericks pre-season game against the Lakers in Los Angeles with his mother, Julie Thompson. 

Meghan and the Dallas Mavs star, 35,  were first linked over the summer.
