Megan Thee Stallion In Hospital After Falling Ill During Moulin Rouge! Performance

Megan Thee Stallion is in hospital after falling ill on stage in New York on Tuesday night.

The Grammy winner recently took over the role of Zidler in the Broadway production of the musical Moulin Rouge!.

During her latest performance, Megan was forced to leave the stage mid-show, and was subsequently rushed to hospital due to an undisclosed illness.

The Hot Girl Summer rapper’s representative told Variety: “During Tuesday night’s production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated.

“We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”

The Texas-born musician began performing as Zidler last week, taking over the role from RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob The Drag Queen.

She previously enthused: “Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honour.

“I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theatre is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.

“Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties [Megan’s name for her fans] to see a new side of me.”

Megan’s breakthrough moment came in 2019 with the Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla Sign collaboration Hot Girl Summer.

The following year, Beyoncé recorded a guest feature on her hit Savage, with Megan and Cardi B later teaming up on the hit WAP, which reached number one on both sides of the Atlantic and generated a lot of conversation due to the song’s sexually-charged lyrics and music video.

In 2021, Megan was awarded Best New Artist at the Grammys – beating stiff competition from the likes of Doja Cat and Phoebe Bridgers – as well as picking up Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for the Beyoncé mix of Savage.
