She later shared to her socials:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there\u2019s no real path forward\u2026I\u2019m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.\u201d (as reported by <em>The Dallas Morning News<\/em>.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>During this week\u2019s \u201cWeekend Update,\u201d episode (a clip of which was shared to X on May 3), hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che, Patterson joined the desk to offer his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/pop-culture\/news-when-will-megan-thee-stallion-s-last-performance-zidler-moulin-rouge-rapper-ends-broadway-stint-early-amid-klay-thompson-split\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">comedic perspective<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He began by feigning disappointment over the breakup, jokingly masking his excitement while clearly positioning himself as a potential suitor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBro, Megan Thee Stallion is single. I&#8217;m so upset,\u201d Kam Patterson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Michael Che quickly challenged Patterson\u2019s reaction, pointing out the contradiction in his expression. Patterson continued the bit by exaggerating his concern for Megan,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is a smile of desperation. I&#8217;m sad. I&#8217;m worried about Meg, man. You know she had to quit off Broadway productions of Moulin Rouge? When I heard that news, I couldn&#8217;t believe she was in town,\u201d Patterson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He then pivoted into describing what he believed Megan needed and remarked that she needed a \u201creal man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Che pressed him further, prompting Patterson to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/music\/these-bots-these-paid-people-megan-thee-stallion-calls-people-running-hate-campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">outline his idea<\/a> of a \u201creal man\u201d with exaggerated traits.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWell, let&#8217;s see. First off, he&#8217;s probably, I don&#8217;t know, 5&#8217;8 to 5&#8217;10. Second, he&#8217;s probably a black man. Because everybody knows black men don&#8217;t cheat,\u201d Kam Patterson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Che pointed out that Klay Thompson was Black, Patterson said that he was only &#8220;half black&#8221; and it was his \u201cwhite half that cheated\u201d on the rapper.<\/p>\n<p>Patterson continued to build his case, suggesting that a \u201creal man\u201d would also be steadily employed in a thriving industry like entertainment, again alluding to himself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMaybe he works on a sketch television show. And he&#8217;s not in many sketches, but he&#8217;s doing okay. Some say he&#8217;s finding his voice more every week,\u201d Kam Patterson added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Che then called out the obvious, noting that Patterson was clearly attempting to \u201cshoot his shot.\u201d Patterson leaned into the joke, quipping that it was exactly what \u201cKlay Thompson did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the exchange continued, Che questioned whether Patterson actually knew Thompson, to which Patterson denied familiarity, even as he referenced his achievements.<\/p>\n<p>The segment concluded with Patterson directly addressing Megan Thee Stallion in a deliberately self-deprecating pitch. He admitted he might not be what she wants, or even needs, but humorously suggested she consider him anyway, referencing his past attempts to reach out.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/shows\/news-snl-reveals-complete-january-line-up-from-hosts-guests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Kam Patterson<\/a> is a regular on <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em>, having joined the cast for its 51st season in October 2025.<\/p>\n<p>At present, Klay Thompson plays as a guard for the Dallas Mavericks and remains under contract through the 2026\u20132027 season.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s latest music release is the sultry single <em>Lover Girl<\/em>, which debuted in October 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Shayari Roy<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/pop-culture\/news-not-funny-internet-reacts-kam-patterson-jokes-megan-thee-stallion-klay-thompson-s-breakup-snl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian Kam Patterson took the internet by storm after referencing Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson\u2019s breakup during a recent SNL segment.
