"The line is six weeks": Shaquille O'Neal drops expiration date on Klay Thompson's relationship with Megan Thee Stallion

Shaquille O'Neal is the latest to weigh in on the relationship between NBA star Klay Thompson and rapper Megan Thee Stallion. On July 9, the singer-songwriter shared an Instagram photo with the Dallas Mavericks guard in the background. A week later, they launched their relationship by going out in public for dinner in New York.

On “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” O'Neal was asked by co-host Adam Lefkoe to comment on the relationship.

“Six weeks," the Hall of Famer said [59:02]. "The line is six weeks.”

Lefkoe pressed and asked O’Neal if the relationship between the new power couple would last into fall. The LA Lakers legend shook his head and remained adamant that the relationship between Thompson and the artist known as Megan Pete in real life would last for a little over a month.

Mike Tyson, the guest of the show, tossed in his thoughts as well. After being briefed about who Thompson is, the boxing legend said the four-time NBA champion needs a little “credit” for “staying power” if he manages to last for six weeks.

After the soft launch on Megan Thee Stallion’s Instagram, the two attended the inaugural Pete & Thomas Gala Foundation in New York. They have also featured in videos on TikTok.
