The rapper took to Instagram on Wednesday, April 1 to assure fans she’s doing okay after reports revealed she was hospitalized the night before.

“Last night was a real wake-up call for me,” the Houston native began. “I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me.”

She went on to reference her current run performing in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, writing, “I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn’t. 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.”

She concluded her statement with gratitude, writing, “Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything.”

A rep for the rapper shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, which read,

“On Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms. 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.”
