US rapper Megan Thee Stallion recovering after falling ill on stage in Broadway show
‘I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough,’ the rapper said.
US RAPPER MEGAN Thee Stallion has said that she had a “wake-up call” after she was taken to hospital in the middle of a Broadway performance of “Moulin Rouge!” in New York City.
“I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me,” the 31-year-old wrote on Instagram.
“I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn’t.”
Megan Thee Stallion, who has been playing club owner Harold Zidler in the musical, was replaced halfway through the show Tuesday night after she fell ill.
She said she would be back on stage Thursday after taking today off to rest.
A spokesperson for the artist, who has won three Grammy awards, said she was transferred to a hospital after experiencing “concerning symptoms.”
“Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms,” the spokesperson told AFP.
“Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting.”
