Torrey Craig, a player with the Chicago Bulls, has seen a shift from relative sports obscurity to celebrity interest in 2025. This change came after his relationship with rapper Megan Thee Stallion went public but also due to other accusations of his off-court activity
Craig is known for his performance as a player within the NBA league. Currently playing for the Chicago Bulls with an average game statistics of 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds. This recognition is different than that of those who follow the team for his skill.
While he's been active in the NBA since the past seven seasons most people only learned his name as he started dating A-list celebrity Megan Thee Stallion. He was soon a focal point for media outlets and other outlets who wanted information on the couples relationship. This created great amounts of added scrutiny over his actions.
His dating life changed quickly after being linked to megastar Megan Thee Stallion which caused more conversation in his world with attention surrounding any action he takes.
Craig’s relationship with Megan became official during summer of 2024. The pair first gained attention from a tik tok that the singer posted on social media showing them doing a couples challenge which was removed shortly after. Then more photos surfaced as the couple was photographed in different locations. This sudden leap to becoming well known created a level of intrigue into a public life that previously was very much kept away from that type of attention.
After some time Megan sat court side at one of his games adding more public acknowledgment of the relationship which drew attention even more to how it was all progressing. She is shown being a public supporter which is different than previously being a very private celebrity in dating partners.
His personal life was thrust into the spotlight after private messages became a topic of conversation which lead to him having to make public statements.
An Onlyfans model named Jasmine Elizabeth shared messages alleging they had a past romantic link in messages shared publicly with her. Along with this claim she posted messages where they communicated and monetary funds she had been sent along with other messages dating back to 2023.
Craig denied any of those claims and said people were seeking clout with these stories as well as claimed that the messages she shared had been “fabricated.” He even posted what he said were real messages. In order to protect himself he then decided to erase previous messages from the time frame when it became public. However he never addressed specific claims only dismissing any responsibility.
The fans who were also very loyal to Megan did not seem to appreciate the scandal surrounding this new relationship and were not afraid to show their opinions on social media. The situation has further shown how fast a simple event can change public perception on celebrities and athletes.
The situation garnered reactions from "Hotties" as well those that are loyal followers of Megan Thee Stallion showing how seriously these events are taken. Fans went through all of what they viewed as “red flags” and have created strong opinions on how he handled the situation publicly. The way he handled social media only fueled the growing concern.
Others called him out for his questionable approach by dismissing what they viewed as being real events. The internet went into a flurry of activity that questioned what really had happened and what really did not happen while scrutinizing old posts and comments from each participant. This created more discussion among those involved as others tried to get involved to express their own take.
While his love life takes over the internet he has a 2015 movie where he also starred is gaining renewed attention by streaming on Netflix. He stars in “In the Heart of the Sea” alongside his now Spider-Man peer Chris Hemsworth. His role showcases he also played important roles even in his earlier film career.
This adventure based movie did not see commercial success when it first was released but with streaming it is getting many new views as it is ranked among the top on Netflix. It also features Cillian Murphy with many notable actors in a tale of survival during a sea faring adventure story. This is an ironic tale as in real life most sailors were very much out of luck to encounter many dangerous situations.
