Megan Thee Stallion has been diagnosed with extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels after being rushed to a hospital in New York last night during a performance of Broadway‘s Moulin Rouge! The Musical.

In a new statement on Instagram, the performer writes: “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. 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,” she continues, “I wanna be real with y’all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting yall down. 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.”

In a statement to press, her rep said that the rapper-performer, who is making her Broadway debut in the production, has been treated and released from the hospital 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 on Moulin Rouge on Thursday,” the statement continues.

Deadline reported earlier this morning that Megan Thee Stallion would not perform at today’s matinee and evening shows.
