She told us she advised the rap superstar, “Don’t take no s–t.”

She then gushed of the “Savage” rapper, “I just love her so much. I love everything about her. I love what she stands for, and I see her, and I what she’s trying to do. I’m a huge believer in humans need humans, and so here I am doing my part.”

Megan’s inaugural gala was held to raise funds for programs focused on education, housing, health and wellness in honor of her late parents, Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete III.

The Grammy winner successfully raised a total of $1.2 million from auctioning everything from a private dinner with a celebrity chef to a luxury bracelet.

Megan’s boyfriend, Klay Thompson, even contributed to the efforts by placing the winning bid of $50,000 for an exclusive Super Bowl 2026 experience, courtesy of Roc Nation.

“I have never dated somebody so kind,” the “Mamushi” rapper said.

“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 just never dated somebody like him before and I’m just grateful that he’s here by my side and he feels the same way about me.”
