Gilbert Arenas calls Megan Stallion a ‘Toyota’
Megan Thee Stallion is celebrating a major milestone in her career, but the achievement has arrived alongside a less marked statement about her personal life.
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has taken aim at Megan while talking about her failed relationship with Klay Thompson. During an appearance on the show “We Said What We Said”, Arenas argued that the rapper should not be surprised by Thompson allegedly cheating on her, given his history.
“If you see that n-gga list, it was like Bugatti, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bugatti,” Arenas said. “She’s at the bottom. Like, compared to the list, she’s a Toyota.”
Arenas went on to claim that Thompson had “cheated on the best of celebrities,” questioning why Megan expected to be treated any differently.

Megan recently announced that she will be performing at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles on October 18.
Sharing her excitement with fans on social media, Megan revealed that the show is fulfilling one of her long-term goals. “Hotties, my dream has finally come true!” she wrote on X. “I’m in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Perform on October 18th to see me get my wings.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Broadway run takes a toll on her health
Megan’s Victoria’s Secret gig isn’t her first major appearance this year. Earlier in 2026, she made her Broadway debut in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” at the Al Hirschfeld Theater in New York City. The 31-year-old made history as the first female actor to play Harold Zidler in a Broadway production.
However, Megan’s time on the show put a strain on her health. She was briefly hospitalized after experiencing “worrying symptoms” during a performance. According to ABC News, her spokesperson said doctors had identified “extreme fatigue, dehydration, vasoconstriction, and low metabolic rates” as the cause.
Megan returned to the stage a couple of days later but ended up ending her Broadway engagement a little earlier than expected in May to prioritize her health. The rapper has since revealed how terrifying the incident was, admitting that she initially believed she was suffering from a stroke.
Megan Thee Stallion recalls fearing she was having a “stroke”
Megan has since revealed how terrifying the health scare was. Reflecting on what happened in a recent Marie Claire cover story, the “Traumazine” rapper admitted that she didn’t underestimate the physical and emotional demands of her run on Broadway.
“I don’t think I was aware of what I was going to put my body through,” she told the publication. Megan said she had been showing up for concerts “a little mentally not right.” However, she continued to push herself because she “didn’t want to let anyone down.”
When her condition worsened, she feared something much worse was happening. “I wasn’t getting any oxygen to my brain, so my hands were frozen. My face was frozen,” Megan recalled. “I was trying to tell everyone that I don’t think I’m fine. They just thought I was tired.” The rapper said she thought she was “having a stroke.”
Gilbert Arenas stresses to Megan that you are a ‘Steel Woman’
Elsewhere in the debate, Arenas was asked if he ever considered Megan “wife material” during her relationship with Thompson.
The question referred to the rapper’s provocative public image and whether it might have influenced how the NBA star viewed their romance. However, Arenas admitted that an artist’s public persona does not necessarily reflect who they are privately. He mentioned Cardi B as an example.
He finally admitted that he didn’t know Megan well enough to judge her as a partner. “I don’t know who she is,” Arenas said, before quickly adding, “Whoever she was, she got it wrong.
