Since 2019, Megan Thee Stallion has been coaching us through Hot Girl Summer, teaching her loyal followers across the globe how to turn up and have the time of their lives. During some of these summers, the Houston native was a single femcee enjoying life on her terms, but for others, she had a man by her side. When stepping outside on tour with GloRilla in 2024, MTS seemed fully focused on her work and prioritizing female friendships, but as the warmest season of the year comes to a close, it appears she’s got love (and Torrey Craig) on the brain.
Who Is Torrey Craig?
After dating a fellow rapper for a few years, the “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker is shifting gears to athletes. After an “accidental” TikTok upload on Tuesday (Aug. 27), Thee Stallion is being linked to 33-year-old Torrey Craig, who’s been in the NBA since 2017. After playing professionally in Australia and New Zealand, Craig has been on the court back at home with the Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers.
As of 2023, Craig is a proud member of the Chicago Bulls. He signed a two-year, $5,373,575 contract with them, all of which is guaranteed. There’s not a ton of info about the athlete’s romantic history online, although Daily Mail reports he spent time with reality star Nicole Zavala.
What’s Going on Between Him and Megan Thee Stallion?
In a now-deleted post, Thee Stallion and Torrey Craig looked cozy, relaxing in bed together while filming a couple’s challenge that revealed plenty about their apparent romance. Among the questions asked in the video’s audio was, “Who said ‘I love you’ first?” which the rap diva and her man couldn’t seem to agree on. While it’s now been taken down from her TikTok account, the post got people talking.
Many were surprised that the black-haired beauty was able to keep her love life away from the public eye, but others are taking the opportunity to defend Thee Stalli from haters. “Saying she moves on fast is a little concerning, hasn’t she been single for like a year now?” one person pointed out on @theshaderoom‘s post. “I’m lost, y’all saying she moved on fast. Who she been with since Pardi?!” another asked.
Who Else Has the Rap Diva Been Romantically Linked To?
Those coming to Thee Stallion’s defense are right to point out she’s been single (at least to the public’s knowledge) for all of 2024 so far. In May 2023 the P-Valley actress made headlines while attending a wedding in Italy with soccer player Romelu Lukaku. Fans were happy to see her letting her guard down after a tumultuous breakup and the stress of Tory Lanez’s sentencing, but it seems nothing serious came of their time together.
Amid her climb to the top, Megan built a relationship with fellow lyricist Pardison Fontaine that quickly earned them the label of “couple goals.” This was her longest and most public union to date, although it ended in 2023 over “lies” and “deceit,” which he addressed during an interview on The Breakfast Club. “I always want well for her. I’m not a person that wants bad for her. I’m not out here calling her all types of such-and-such… I never, ever once ever talked bad about her.” Fontaine revealed he wanted to marry Thee Stallion in the same interview, but had a change of heart after learning she was dishonest.
“I felt like [the lie] made me definitely have to second guess where we was at at that time. It did damage, you know what I’m saying? Like internal. I don’t know if it made us break apart but it definitely took a blow to me,” he shared. While they quietly went their separate ways, Thee Stallion later hinted at infidelity being the reason for their split in her “Cobra” track. “Pulled up, caught him cheatin’ / Gettin’ his d**k sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’,” she rhymed. Thee Stallion’s ex came back at her in “THEE Person,” but that was the end of their internet feud as he moved forward to focus on his relationship with Jada Kingdom.
