Megan Thee Stallion Announces Early Departure From ‘Moulin Rouge!’ Cast: ‘Thank You for Supporting Me on This Incredible Journey’

Megan Thee Stallion‘s final curtain call is coming a bit earlier than expected.

The rapper announced via Instagram on Monday (April 27) that she’ll be departing the cast of Broadway‘s Moulin Rouge! The Musical after her performance on Friday. She was originally scheduled to perform in the show through May 17.

“Hotties, my last performance as Zidler in @moulinrougebway will be May 1,” Megan said in her caption alongside photos of herself meeting fans at the stage door after performances and posing with castmates and special guests. “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!”

She continued by sharing her gratitude for the cast and crew of the Broadway show for “[making] the experience so meaningful” and commending them on their dedication and work ethic. She concludes by thanking her fans for seeing the show.

“And to all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey! I LOVE YALL See you soon,” Megan writes.

Megan made her Broadway debut as Zidler in Moulin Rouge on TKTK, the first woman to every play the role in a production of the show. News of her early departure comes on the heels of her breakup with Mavericks shooting guard Klay Thompson. On Saturday (April 25), Megan took to her Instagram Story to share that she and Thompson, whom she dated for a little under a year, broke up due to his infidelity.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet,’” the three-time Grammy winner wrote. “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’????”

In a statement to Billboard afterward, Megan confirmed that she ended things with Thompson, citing “Trust, fidelity and respect” as “non-negotiable for [her] in a relationship.”

“I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity,” Megan concluded in her statement on the breakup.
