Klay Thompson’s Dad Raves About Megan Thee Stallion’s Cooking
Megan Thee Stallion may be an international rap icon, but in the kitchen of Dallas Mavericks star Clay Thompsonshe is known as “Thee Hot Girl Chef.” The three-time Grammy winner has officially entered her “female era,” and she's not just winning over her husband! Megan and Klay have achieved the most important part of their relationship: family approval.
According to TMZDaddy Thompson couldn't stop singing Megan's praises after she caught up with the cameras on Friday. While he admitted that no one could ever cook their own mother, he did not hesitate to label Megan a professional quality cook.
“The best I've ever had in my life,” Mychal said of Megan's barbecue baked beans. “No one could ever cook as well as my mom, but man, Megan is a chef. She could open a cooking school!”
The bond between Megan and Klay has grown ever stronger since they first went public in 2025, and it seems that food has played a central role in their happiness. While the world knows her as a chart-topping force, Megan recently told TODAY.com that her love of cooking is deeply rooted in her Southern upbringing and the traditions passed down through her family.
Partnering with Dunkin' to launch their new “Megan's Mango Protein Refresher,” she opened up about how she keeps her late grandmother's culinary secrets guarded like a treasure. Megan joked that her grandmother would be in an absolute “uproar” if she gave these recipes to the public, although she did give a small hint about the barbecue baked beans that have obsessed the Thompson family.
“I mean, I can't just give out my secret recipes right now. My grandma would be in an uproar, okay?” she said. “Just know it's full of lots of meat, lots of vegetables.”
Beyond the holiday spreads, the ongoing romance is fueled by a very specific weekly request that has become a viral sensation on TikTok. Megan revealed that Klay is completely addicted to a Southern delicacy: spaghetti with catfish. She shared that she gets “in her bag” to make the meal, which includes deep-fried catfish, spaghetti in red sauce, sweet Hawaiian rolls, and a heavy pour of Louisiana Hot Sauce. Klay has reportedly called the meal “flawless” and “greatness,” and claims he requests it almost every week.
This domestic harmony has even extended to the wider family, as Megan was seen courtside bonding with Klay's mother, Julie, whom she affectionately calls “Miss Julie”. The two have been seen laughing and enjoying Mavericks games together, signaling that Megan is fully embraced by the Thompson inner circle.
If BOSSIP reported, Megan admitted that she was incredibly nervous about the high-stakes task of cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a family of professional athletes. She prepared an impeccable spread that included festive staples like collard greens, roasted carrots, and macaroni and cheese. During a voiceover on her social media, she joked that she gave the turkey a “BBL” by injecting it with flavor the night before. Mychal Thompson was so impressed with the feast that he went on the radio during a Lakers broadcast to call it the best Thanksgiving meal he had ever eaten.
The rapper's culinary skills are more than a hobby; it is a way for her to show her devotion to her partner. Megan confessed that she really wanted to show the Thompsons how much she loves her son through her efforts in the kitchen. This “female era” has fans speculating that the couple is heading for a more permanent commitment. After Meg posted a subliminal photorumors swirled that the duo recently bought a house together.
