RAPPER Megan Thee Stallion has QUIT her role on Broadway amid a very tumultuous period in her personal life.

The Hot Girl Summer hitmaker has been appearing in Moulin Rouge in New York but her stint has been plagued by a number of difficulties.

Now, it has been confirmed that Megan has pulled out of her role days after splitting from her boyfriend and suggesting he ‘cheated’ on her.

Megan had been scheduled to appear in the performance until May 17 but confirmed she would be exiting the role this week – leaving on May 1.

She had made history as the first ever female Zidler in the production.

Confirming her rather abrupt exit, Megan wrote on “Hotties, my last performance as Zidler in @moulinrougebway will be May 1.

‘WAKE-UP CALL’

Megan Thee Stallion reveals why she was rushed to hospital during show

“It’s been such an honor to be part of thee Moulin Rouge family and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theater!

“Y’all work so hard and I have so much respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the effort y’all put into the work!

“I’m so grateful for the cast and crew that made this experience so meaningful. And to all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey!

“I love y’all! See you soon.”

Megan was previously seen in tears during the curtain call of the performance last week, sparking rumours the end was nigh.

Her emotional display came after Megan confirmed her split with NBA star, Klay Thompson.

In a statement, Megan confirmed the end of her romance, saying: ‘I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay.

“Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.

“I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”

Megan has previously faced a hospital dash which had forced her to pull out of one of the performances.

The 31-year-old rap star managed to get through the opening scenes of the hit musical in New York before the show had to be halted so she could be checked over by a medic.

A representative of the Savage rapper told TMZ: “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.”

Megan later clarified that she had pushed herself to her limits and needed to reset.

JOE Lycett has revealed he had to rush his 16-month-old son to hospital in a rare parenthood admission.

The comedian keeps his personal life notoriously private and shocked fans in 2024 when he revealed he had become a father, welcoming the little one with his long-term girlfriend.

Joe’s girlfriend, whom he refers to as ‘Denise’ to keep her real name private, remains out of the limelight, with their relationship very under the radar.

But appearing on Katherine Ryan’s What’s My Age Again Podcast, Joe spoke about his experience with fatherhood and detailed a recent health scare with the youngster.

Choosing not to share his name, Joe jokingly nicknamed his little one “the punisher”.

He explained: “The punisher was poorly recently, we had to go into hospital and whatever.”

” I got a real sense of, ‘I would take any pain that you have, a thousand times over. I would bulldozer through a nursery to save you. I would do whatever it takes,” explained Joe of the unwavering love he has for the baby boy.

He later referenced the hospital incident again, confirming that the youngster had to be assessed in A&E.

Talking about how the family had a parking debacle during the hospital trip, he explained: “So, the punisher was ill. I drove to A&E, Birmingham children’s hospital.

“Parked up, took a picture of the Ringo number but didn’t do it straight away, like, ‘Oh, I’ll just wait while my son was unwell’, I thought, ‘I’ll do it in there’.

“So, he was being assessed and I was paying for parking whilst he was being assessed, so I had one eye on him and one eye on this,” said Joe, who continued to explain that he ended up getting a parking ticket for not doing so in time.

Joe also gave an insight into family life and his decision to become a parent as he said: “I always said I didn’t think I’d have kids but if one happened then I’d have a really good go at it.

“But then, I think, being in a stable, loving relationship, suddenly I was like, ‘Oh it would be fun to have a go at this’.

“Once we started talking about it, it became an inevitability.”

The comedian then touched on his decision to keep his family life, including his relationship, out of the public eye.

There are no family snaps on his social media, with his son and partner not featured anywhere online in connection to Joe.

Explaining the reason behind this, Joe said: “For the punisher, it’s up to him if he wants to do that later and be in the public eye.

“Because there is an inherit risk in being in the public eye, being known, having your face known and all of that.

“And if I end up doing something appalling he can change his surname and no one knows who he is, essentially.

“And then with Denise she just has a job where she works with vulnerable people.

“So if people know that I’m with her then it might affect her work. And also she has no desire to be in it – it’s weird to do what we do. “
