Megan Thee Stallion Gets Vulnerable About Split From Klay Thompson

She responded, “I’m not thinking about anything romantic. I’m definitely not thinking about no damn relationship.” After that, she discussed the toll the breakup had taken, saying, “I’m not pretending I’m 100 percent okay.”
The “Body” rapper went on to say that her time with Thompson was like nothing she’d ever experienced. According to her, “I ain’t never been through nothing like that in my whole life. I’ve never, ever, ever been in a relationship like that, ever. So I’m definitely not worried about another one for a long time.”
She continued, “It was so abrupt. I’m in shock still.” After that, she reflected on relationships in general, stating, “When something is meant for you, it’s gonna be easy. It’s gonna be right. It’s not gonna feel like a panic all the time. I feel like that’s what I was in, constantly on edge. My nervous system needed to calm down. I feel like I was in a panic 24/7. I’m still not eating all the way right. I’m feeling all the feelings, and I’m not trying to take no shortcuts.”
Megan Thee Stallion went on to admit that she had failed to trust her intuition, saying, “Sometimes I be knowing in my gut and in my heart, then you give so much benefit of the doubt. No, the gut is always right. Listen.”
