Megan Thee Stallion diagnosed with extreme exhaustion after hospitalization

Megan Thee Stallion was taken to the hospital on Tuesday in New York City after feeling unwell during a performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway.

A representative for the rapper said in a statement to the Guardian on Wednesday that “on Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms.”

“Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms” they said. “Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting.”

“Megan is incredibly grateful for the prayers and well-wishes from her supporters and is looking forward to resuming her role as Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Thursday” they added.

In a social media post on Wednesday, Megan Thee Stallion described the incident as a “real wake-up call”.

“I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me,” she said. “I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn’t.”

She added that she would take Wednesday 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,” she added. “Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything.”

It was announced in February that the Grammy winner would make her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! The Musical as Harold Zidler. She began her run on 24 March and is expected to perform through 17 May.

In a statement shared with Deadline at the time her debut was announced, the rapper said that “stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor”.

“I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace,” she said. “Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is scheduled to close on 26 July, ending a seven-year run on Broadway.
