Megan Thee Stallion was convinced she was dealing with a major medical emergency when she suddenly fell ill during her Broadway run earlier this year.

The “Cognac Queen” singer made her debut in “Moulin Rouge!” becoming the first woman to take the role. However, one week into playing it, she was rushed to the hospital. 

Megan Thee Stallion is now opening up about that incident and thinking something critical happened.

In a recent interview, the “WAP” rapper revisited the health scare, admitting she was convinced something was seriously wrong after neglecting her own needs while preparing for the show.

Fighting back tears, Megan explained that she pushed herself because she “didn’t want to let anyone down.” The 31-year-old even admitted to showing up every day for the performance “a little bit mentally not okay.”

Things eventually came to a head when she required medical treatment and began fearing something serious had happened.

 “I thought I was having a stroke,” she told Marie Claire. “I wasn’t getting any oxygen to my brain, so my hands had froze. My face had froze. I was trying to tell everybody that I don’t think I’m okay. They only thought I was dehydrated.”

Her co-star, Kelsie Watts, also recalled noticing signs that something was off from the start. He said Megan “had barely any color in her face, was shaking, was sweating,” adding that it did not seem normal and left him worried that “something’s gonna happen.”

Watts also shared that it took a lot of convincing before the Grammy Winner finally stepped away mid-production to seek medical care.

After several reactions to the news, Megan addressed it and explained what the moment did to her. According to the singer, it was a “real wake-up call” because she had been pushing herself past her body, and it finally reached its breaking point.

She admitted that it “scared” her as she felt she was going to pass out on stage. She added that she would do what her body needs before returning to perform.

Days after speaking publicly about her health, Megan announced she would be exiting the show on May 1, despite originally being scheduled to remain through May 17.

Although the rap star called things off with the basketball player in April, she recently reflected on that chapter of her life and admitted she felt disconnected from herself.

“I was losing myself a little bit. I am now in the space of finding me again,” she said, per The Blast. She then stressed that she has no intention of shrinking herself or compromising her identity for anyone. 

According to her, whoever she is with would not “disrespect” her, and she made it clear that she would not abandon the career she has worked hard to build.
