Megan Thee Stallion is speaking out after she was rushed to the hospital mid Broadway performance.

During a Tuesday show of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Thee Stallion, who plays the role of Harold Zidier, made a sudden exit from the show. While the singer was spotted in the opening scenes, the performance was stopped midway, and theater officials apologized to the audience and asked them to "stay inside and seated." Megan was then taken to a hospital in New York City and was replaced by another performer for the rest of the show.

The singer took to Instagram on April 1, claiming that her health state was a "wake-up" call for her,

“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 I wanna be real with y'all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting yall down 🥺"

The singer updated that she needs a bit of rest, and that she'll be back on Broadway on Thursday.

"I just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been..I'Il be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve.”
