Megan Thee Stallion Shares Emotional Moment at ‘Moulin Rouge!’ Following Klay Thompson Breakup
Trending on Billboard
Megan Thee Stallion appeared visibly emotional during her performance in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Saturday, April 25, just hours after announcing her breakup with NBA player Klay Thompson.
In fan-captured footage from her appearance at the Tony Award-winning Broadway show in New York City, the 31-year-old rapper was seen wiping away tears during the curtain call, following her statement about the split amid allegations of cheating.
Dressed in costume, the “WAP” artist turned away from the applauding audience as she accepted a standing ovation.
Megan recently made her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge!, becoming the first female-identifying performer to portray Zidler. Her eight-week engagement began on March 24 and is set to run through May 17 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York.
Prior to the performance, Megan confirmed her separation from Thompson via social media, saying, “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’????”
In a subsequent statement, the rapper elaborated on her decision to end the relationship, stating, “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. 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.”
Megan and Thompson began dating in the summer of 2025, with Megan previously describing their first encounter as a “meet cute” and calling him “the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.” They made their red carpet debut together that July in New York City.
During last Thanksgiving, Thompson even named his boat after her (“SS Stallion”) as they celebrated the holiday with his family.
Earlier this year, Megan expressed her hopes of an engagement, stating she was “manifesting my engagement” in a video clip filmed in Milan with Olympic athletes Brittany Bowe and Hilary Knight, who are engaged.
