Rap star Megan Thee Stallion set the baseball world ablaze after throwing out the first pitch of the 2023 MLB season for her hometown Houston Astros on Thursday.
While some discussed her throw, others were more interested in what happened after the opening pitch.
The “Body” singer was practicing her throws before she made her toss and did fairly well. Afterward, she was greeted with a smile and a hug from first baseman David Hensley.
It was Hensley’s hug that piqued some fans’ interest. Some fans hilariously accused Hensley of trying to cop a feel on Meg’s infamous behind.
If you take a look at the photo, it looked all like an innocent hug from the Astros first baseman, although his gloved hand does land in a particular place. Some fans are questioning what Hensley was doing.
And of course, folks took to social media to express what they thought of the photo.

Not everybody found this picture amusing especially after what the rapper went through recently when she was shot in the foot. Some thought that the reactions were a bit sexist.
I’m disappointed in all ya’ll. Shes somebody’s daughter.

Overall, however, it was mainly innocent and hilarious takes mixed with envy from fans who were probably wishing they were Hensley.
