Megan Thee Stallion delivered an emotionally charged performance during her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Saturday, April 25, in New York City. Fan-captured footage revealed the 31-year-old rapper tearing up onstage during the curtain call, just hours after publicly announcing her breakup with NBA star Klay Thompson, amid serious cheating allegations. Still in her elaborate costume, the “WAP” hitmaker turned away from the applauding audience to discreetly wipe away her tears as she received a heartfelt standing ovation.

Megan Thee Stallion recently made history by becoming the first female-identifying performer to take on the role of Zidler in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production. Her eight-week engagement at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre commenced on March 24 and is scheduled to run through May 17. The emotional performance followed her confirmation of the split from Thompson on social media, where she openly shared her pain and the reasons behind the separation.

On her Instagram Stories, Megan detailed the alleged infidelity and lack of commitment, writing: “Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet.’ 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’????” She further addressed the breakup with the Dallas Mavericks player in a statement obtained by Billboard, emphasizing her personal values. “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan stated. “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.”

The relationship between the hip-hop star and the shooting guard reportedly began in summer 2025, with Megan previously describing their initial encounter as “a meet cute” and referring to Thompson as “the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.” The couple made their red carpet debut in New York City in July 2025. Their bond deepened over time, with Thompson notably naming his boat “SS Stallion” last Thanksgiving, and the pair spending the holiday together with his family. Earlier this year, Megan had openly expressed aspirations for marriage, having said she was “manifesting my engagement” in a video clip filmed in Milan alongside Olympic athletes Brittany Bowe and Hilary Knight, who are engaged.
