April 2 (UPI) — Rapper Megan Thee Stallion returned to Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! Thursday after falling ill mid-performance Tuesday night in New York.
“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,” the 31-year-old artist wrote on Instagram Wednesday.

She is to play the role of Zidler in the stage adaptation of the 2001 movie through May 17.
