Megan Thee Stallion praises 'kind' Klay Thompson as pair make red carpet debut
The "Hiss" hitmaker, 30, and four-time NBA champion, 35, looked smitten at the rapper's inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16.
During a red carpet interview, the "WAP" collaborator told People magazine that "I won't tell you how and I won't tell you when, but it was a movie that (Thompson is) the nicest person I've ever met in my life."
The rapper – who coordinated with her NBA All-Star boyfriend in matching black looks – also told Page Six that she has "never dated somebody so kind," telling the outlet that "this is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.'
"I'm just grateful that he's here by my side and he feels the same way about me," she continued.
The game-changing couple went public over the weekend when Thompson posted a carousel of photos July 13 featuring a shot of him and the Houston rapper in an intimate embrace.
Later in the slideshow, another shot shows just their hands clasped together, beachside, Thomspon's blue and gold Rolex paired with Megan's baby pink acrylics and abalone shell jewelry.
The post is captioned simply "Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥," the emojis no doubt a nod to the Bahamas, where the two appeared to be vacationing. Thompson's father, former NBA player Mychal Thompson, is Bahamian.
Fans of the pair first spotted Thompson in Megan's Instagram post days earlier, sparking romance rumors between the respective powerhouses.
The Texas A-listers are the Lone Star State's newest power couple. After over a decade with the Golden State Warriors, Thompson was traded to the Dallas Mavericks last year while Megan is a Texas native, born in San Antonio and raised in Houston.

Did Caitlin Clark have WNBA All-Star bet with Napheesa Collier? Shot for 4-point shots. That's 20
Elle Duncan mentioned a Studbudz bet at the end of the WNBA All-Star Game Countdown show before the game and convinced Courtney Williams of the Minnesota Lynx to reveal the bet in a postgame interview. Who was the best with? Caitlin Clark. What we know: Yes, Team Collier captain Napheesa Collier and Williams said the bet with Team Clark was with none other than captain Caitlin Clark herself. Clark agreed to drink a shot for every 4-point shot that was made in the game, according to Collier. That's 20 shots — 12 for Team Collier and 8 for Team Clark. It's unclear what kind of shots they would be. Needless to say, Collier and Williams have no intention of holding Clark to the bet.

I tested the Fujifilm X half for two weeks — and some might think this one feature is a gimmick but it's my favorite
Do you like film photography? Me too. Do you enjoy populating your Instagram feed with film photos? Me too! There's something charming about analog photography, and in recent years, we've seen a rise in its popularity, a trend that's making a comeback (like oversized blazers and baggy jeans). It's then only natural that camera manufacturers get with the times and make modern film cameras. Fujifilm has done just that... but in a way none of us expected. I'm talking about the Fujifilm X half, a one-of-a-kind camera that's unlike any other in its current lineup, and it goes off the beaten track by combining digital and film photography. The Fujifilm X half is an interesting camera as it's nothing like any other camera in the brand's lineup. It's small and compact and it features a 17.7MP 1-inch sensor that actually takes lovely photos. You get access to Fuji's 13 most popular film simulation recipes and filters, and the camera has a dedicated Film Camera Mode which doesn't let you see photos until you connect it to your phone. Long battery life is the cherry on top of the cake. What do I mean by that, you ask? Well, the X half takes regular photos like any digital camera but it also has a dedicated Film Camera Mode which emulates the feeling of analog. When I spent a couple hours with the camera pre-launch, a couple Tom's Guide readers pointed out that this was gimmick. Now that I've reviewed the camera, I say: so what? It's fun, it's so much fun, and I'm here to tell you why. Toggling Film Camera Mode on the Fujifilm X half is a piece of cake. There are two touchscreen displays on the back: the rounded, vertical touchscreen let's you swap between 13 film simulation recipes and several filters, while the rectangular 4x3 screen gives you access to the camera's settings and gallery. To enable Film Camera Mode, simply swipe down on the rectangular screen and tap on it. You then select your roll (36 shots, for instance) and film simulation or filter, adjusting ISO and et voilà! The screen displays a shot counter and you'll need to use the lever on the right-hand side to advance the roll — as you would on a traditional film camera. Also, like other film cameras, you won't be able to see the photos you've taken until you exhaust the roll, connect the camera to your smartphone and use the X half app to 'develop' the film. And you know what? I had a lot of fun with this. Watching your 'film roll' load on your phone and the little animation that shows every photo 'developing' is throughly enjoyable. Analog photography's fundamentals apply here too. Some photos turn out great, some photos are unusable and some are imperfect, and I love that. The X half's photos turn out lovely with a film-life effects (thanks to the film sims), and you can increase the grain effect too. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I've loved testing the Fujifilm X half. I think it's a nifty little camera (literally, it's so small) for anyone who wants access to Fuji's fantastic film simulation recipes and filters, and wants to take a no-frills camera to a concert, festival or while traveling. But purists will have you believing it's a toy camera and it isn't worth the money. Look, I get it. It isn't really film photography. The X half isn't the cheapest either, retailing for $849 / £690. Its sensor takes only 17MP photos, and video is limited to FHD/48p. No, this isn't a stacked camera when it comes to pure imaging capabilities, but why does everything need to be? Fujifilm's ethos here is that specs aren't always everything, and I see that. It isn't always about how many megapixels you have at your disposal or whether the camera has in-body image stabilization. Sometimes, and this time especially, it's about a stripped back camera that even a child could use. The X half is pure fun, nothing more, nothing less.
