Megan Thee Stallion has been discharged from the hospital after falling "very ill" during a Broadway performance on Tuesday.
The rapper and songwriter was hospitalized Tuesday night after "experiencing concerning symptoms" during a performance of "Moulin Rouge!", a spokesperson told ABC News in a statement Wednesday.
Megan is currently starring in the Broadway show as Zidler.
"Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms," the statement continued. "Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting."
The statement thanked the star's supporters and noted Megan would resume her role in "Moulin Rouge!" on Thursday.
The "Savage" artist took to social media on Wednesday to reflect on the incident, calling it a "wake-up call."
"I've been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me," she wrote in the caption of anInstagram post. "I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn't."
Megan wrote that she would take one day to "rest, reset, and take care of myself," adding that she would return to the show "stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve."
A previous statement shared with ABC News on behalf of Megan's spokesperson read, "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."
