Overview

• Megan Thee Stallion posted an Instagram video on Aug. 19 showing Klay Thompson eating her fried catfish with spaghetti as he calls it “so good,” “flawless,” and “the best thing I’ve ever tasted.”
• Megan says Thompson had never tried the combo before and now asks for it weekly, with the plates shown featuring fried catfish, red-sauce spaghetti, Louisiana hot sauce, and Hawaiian rolls.
• The videos circulated widely across sports and entertainment outlets and drew a mix of affectionate praise and skeptical comments from fans on social platforms.
• Several reports noted the dish’s cultural roots as a long-standing soul-food pairing tied to Mississippi Delta traditions and spread through the Great Migration.
• The Sporting News flagged a fake parody post claiming Thompson got food poisoning from the meal, which credible outlets did not report, and coverage places the moment in his Mavericks offseason before October training camp.
