Megan Thee Stallion was rushed to the hospital mid-performance of the Broadway musical Moulin Rouge in New York City on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old rapper – who is currently playing the role of Zidler in the production – had been taken to a nearby hospital after feeling unwell shortly after the opening scenes of the show.
‘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,’ her representative said in a statement to the Daily Mail.
‘We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.’
The music artist’s hairstylist also took to X to ask fans to say ‘a prayer’ for the rapper – whose full name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete.
‘Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital,’ Kellon Deryck wrote, but didn’t share further details at the time.
