Megan Thee Stallion & Romelu Lukaku Fuel Dating Rumors At Teammate’s Wedding

In the midst of rumors of her split from Pardison Fontaine, the Internet is convinced Megan Thee Stallion found a new beau in her life. The 28-year-old artist was recently spotted with Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku at his teammate’s wedding in Cernobbio, Italy. Although there’s no actual confirmation that they are dating or even arrived as a couple, the few photos that emerged drummed up speculation online. Both are managed by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which, as Marca points out, is likely how they met. 

It doesn’t necessarily seem like a coincidence that the two of them were spotted together at the wedding. After all, Megan Thee Stallion appears to be a supporter of Inter Milan. The Houston rap star shared a photo from the team’s home stadium, San Siro, earlier this month. Plus, she and Lukaku are seemingly on the market these days. Meg and Pardison Fontaine fueled breakup rumors earlier this year after she unfollowed him. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku recently split up with his girlfriend of five years, Sarah Mens.

Megan Thee Stallion & Romelu Lukaku Chatting It Up At Wedding 

The private wedding of Lautaro Martínez and his wife included several of Martinez and Lukaku’s teammates. Photos and videos emerged of Megan Thee Stallion and Lukaku seated next to each other. However, another clip of the two chatting next to an impeccable view of Lake Como led to further questions surrounding whether the two might be the next IT couple. Regardless of their professional connection, many found that Megan and Lukaku even hanging out was kind of random.

The dating rumors surrounding Megan Thee Stallion and Romelu Lukaku come shortly after Pardison Fontaine seemingly addressed the rumors surrounding their relationship. Pardi appeared at an event in Los Angeles where he dedicated a poem to “a beautiful woman I know.” He didn’t mention her name but fans presumed that some of the remarks he made were specifically toward Meg. “You’re a survivor but not a victim, somewhere in between ‘God forgive him’ and ‘I gotta get him’,” he said. “That’s why you don’t ever let these bitches get you out your rhythm.” We’ll keep you updated on anymore developments in the Megan-Lukaku dating rumors. 

Roc Nation Publishes Anti-Racism Ad In Italian Newspaper

Racism in soccer is a deep and dark issue. While anti-racism campaigns and several penalties for fans exist, reports of racism at soccer events remain all to common. As the issue continues to persist, all levels of the sport, from players to governing bodies, continue to be deeply affected.

Italy in particular has a long history of soccer racism. In 2012, Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport published a cartoon depicting Italian striker Mario Balotelli as King Kong. In 2014, Italian club Atalanta were fined 40,000 euros after fans threw bananas at two Black players during a match against AC Milan. Fans of Lazio, a club with long-standing ties to Italy’s political far-right, were filmed giving Nazi salutes at an away game in Glasgow, Scotland in 2019. However, even players have been found culpable of racist actions. Juventus was forced to apologize in 2021 after they posted images of their women’s team mocking Asian individuals.

Roc Nation Takes A Stand

On Tuesday night, a Coppa Italia semi-final between Juventus and Inter Milan ended in chaos. Inter Milan, trailing 1-0, was awarded a 95th-minute penalty, which Romelu Lukaku calmly converted. Afterwards, Juventus began to direct monkey noises at Lukaku. When the Black striker, who has a long history of receiving racist abuse, responded angrily, he was sent off. Lukaku calmly slotted home the equalizier, Juventus fans began to make monkey noises at the Black player. Furthermore, Lukaku’s equalizer led to an additional two red cards issue after the final whistle.

On Wednesday morning, Roc Nation, the entertainment agency founded by Jay-Z, took out a full-page ad in La Gazzetta dello Sport. The ad, titled “Enough is Enough” lambasted Italian sports culture, calling on them to “Do Better. Want Better. Be Better.” in response to the Lukaku incident and others. Furthermore, the ad went on to “call on the worldwide community of sports” to better tackle the issue of racism. It is a powerful statement from one of the biggest entertianment agencies. Additionally, there was an added layer to the ad as La Gazzetta dello Sport was the same paper that published a racist carton of Mario Balotelli a decade ago. With Roc Nation joining the fight against racism in soccer, perhaps bigger steps will now be taken to combatting the issue.
