Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out with a message to the Hotties after departing Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! midshow and being hospitalized due to “extreme exhaustion” on Tuesday night (March 31).
The Houston rapper explained that she’s been pushing the limits of her body and called Tuesday’s health scare a “real wake-up call.”
“Last night was a real wake-up call for me. I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough,” she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (April 1). “It honestly scared me. I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn’t. Hotties I wanna be real with y’all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting yall down.”
The 31-year-old calmed fans’ worries and promised she’d be back on the Broadway stage for Thursday night’s (April 2) show.
Megan continued: “I just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been. I’ll be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve. Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything.”
Fans attending Tuesday’s show at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre were informed Megan fell ill and wouldn’t be continuing her role as Zidler for the rest of the evening.
“On Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms,” a rep for Megan told Billboard. “Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms. Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting.”
The rep added: “Megan is incredibly grateful for the prayers and well-wishes from her supporters and is looking forward to resuming her role as Zidler.”
Megan’s hairstylist informed fans that she was hospitalized and asked for prayers. “Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital,” Kellon Deryck wrote to X.
Megan Thee Stallion made history in March when she became the first female-identifying performer to play Zidler, which kicked off an eight-week run on March 24 and will go through May 17.
