UPDATE (12:40 p.m. EST April 1, 2026): Megan Thee Stallion issued a statement on Instagram, saying in part, "I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough."
Journalist Loren Larosa reports that a spokesperson said, "Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms. Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting."
Megan said she plans to be back on stage to perform in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Thursday. See her full statement and our initial news story below.
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.

Hotties 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
(11:01 a.m. EST April 1, 2026): Megan Thee Stallion has been hospitalized in New York City after falling "very ill" during a performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical Tuesday night, March 31. Reps for the artist promised additional updates as more information became known.
Last night, Megan's friend and hairstylist Kellon Deryck posted in part, "we are all at the hospital." Per a TMZ report this morning, FDNY arrived at Al Hirschfeld Theatre in response to a person having trouble breathing.
The health scare comes just one week into Megan's Broadway debut playing Zidler in the long-running musical, which is currently in its final season. Unsurprisingly, Megan will not perform at either of today's (April 1) shows, per the Moulin Rouge! website.
The show was set to run for eight weeks from March 24 to July 26, though how the musical may proceed is currently unclear.
