“Saturday Night Live” star Kam Patterson jokingly called out NBA player Klay Thompson for allegedly cheating on Megan Thee Stallion.
“Who even is this guy?” the comedian quipped on the “Weekend Update” segment, before co-host Michael Che chimed in to say Patterson was a “world-famous pro basketball player.”
“Wait a minute, there’s a WNBA for men? What would you even call that? The MNBA? … To me, he’s not Klay, he’s dirt,” Patterson added.
“What Meg Thee Stallion needs is a real man,” the 27-year-old added, as Che, 42, responded, “What else makes a real man?”
Playfully describing himself, Patterson stated that a “real man” is “probably employed in a thriving industry,” such as “entertainment” and working on a “sketch television show.”
“And he’s not in many sketches,” Patterson added, referring to his current debut “SNL” season. “But he’s doing OK. Some say he’s finding his voice more every week.”
The audience cheered, and Che told them not to “encourage” Patterson’s remarks, adding, “That’s just you, Kam.”
“I guess that does kind of sound like me,” Patterson continued, before jokingly insisting that he didn’t know who Thompson, “a four-time NBA champion and second greatest shooter of all time,” was.
Patterson admitted to wanting to date Megan, saying, “Megan, if you’re watching, let me talk to you direct.”
He then leaned forward as seductive music played in the background, telling the camera, “Am I the man you want? Probably not. But am I the man you need? Also no.
“But you’ve already had the best baby, so why not try the rest?” Patterson questioned, before showing several alleged DMs he has sent to the hitmaker.
Reps for both Thompson, 36, and Megan, 31, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Megan confirmed on April 25 that she and the athlete had split after nearly one year of dating, telling Page Six that “fidelity and respect are non-negotiable[s]” in a relationship.
That same day, the “Mamushi” emcee broke down in tears while closing out her “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” Broadway show. A few days later, Megan announced she was exiting the show more than two weeks earlier than her original end date.
Thompson has yet to address the allegations against him. However, sports analyst Stephen A. Smith recently defended the athlete, saying Thompson didn’t deserve for his business to be publicly aired.
