Further details about her condition have not yet been disclosed.
Megan (real name Megan Pete) is set to play Zidler until May 17, per the Moulin Rouge! website.
“So grateful for this incredible cast & crew & everyone who worked so hard to make opening night a success!! HOTTIES IM ON BROADWAY!!” she wrote on social media after her first performance in March.
People also praised Megan, who is the first female-identifying performer to play Zidler worldwide: “From the moment she strides onto the stage, the Houston native feels right at home as the evening’s emcee, anchoring the high-energy production with the same confidence that has made her a force in music.”
The rapper released her third and most recent studio album, ‘Megan: Act II’, in 2024. In a glowing, five-star review, NME wrote: “On ‘Act II’, Megan confirms why she’s ‘the baddest bitch out right now‘ once again.
“Despite all the adversity that has plagued her in recent years, she firmly stands atop the rap world as the princess of rap, gazing down from her pedestal while polishing her tiara – maybe there’s a coronation on the horizon very soon.”
She has since shared two singles: 2025’s ‘Whenever’ and ‘Lover Girl’. At the start of this year, Megan revealed that she was underway with “completing act three” of her albums. She said at the time that she planned to release more new music in 2026.
“The hotties just need to give me a little time,” she explained. “I’ll be in the gym and the studio – the gym and the studio.”
