It was eventually revealed that the artist had been dealing with dehydration and exhaustion. Overall, this can be incredibly scary, and in some instances, dehydration is, in fact, life-threatening. With that in mind, it is easy to see why the artist went to the hospital.

She has since been released from the hospital and is now talking to her fans directly. In a post on Instagram, Megan Thee Stallion confirmed that her body shut down and that she needed some help. However, she says that after a day’s worth of rest, she will be back to perform on Thursday.

“Last night was a real wake-up call for me. I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me. 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,” Meg wrote. “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. Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything.”

This entire ordeal has been incredibly scary, and you cannot help but feel for Megan in this instance. This is the last thing you want to deal with as both a performer and a human being.

We hope she is able to get the rest she needs, going forward.

Loren Lorosa was in attendance during the show and initially provided live updates for fans on X (formerly Twitter). “Came to see Meg The stallion on broadway and that was short lived. The few opening scenes I saw her in she was great on stage! I was excited BUT… They just stopped moulin rouge mid show apologized to the audience and said ..’stay inside and seated’ I asked security if we’re safe .. they told us ‘for now, we’ll update you if anything changes,” she wrote in one post.

She later added that another actor filled in for Megan for the rest of the night. “Milan rouge on Broadway has removed Meg the stallion for the night (no explanation as to why) …” she wrote. “Announcement just came on in the theatre .. they have removed Meg Thee Stallion from the show as Zidler for the rest of the night.”

Afterward, Lorosa shared a statement from a spokesperson for Megan. “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,” the statement read. “We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”

Megan’s hairstylist and close friend Kellon Deryck also confirmed the hospitalization, requesting prayers in a post on X. “Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital,” he wrote. On Wednesday, the Broadway production’s website announced that “the role of Zidler will not be played by Megan Thee Stallion at the April 1st performance.”

On Wednesday afternoon, Megan finally broke her silence about the situation in a post on Instagram. “Last night was a real wake-up call for me. 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 a statement to the Guardian, a spokesperson says, “It is deeply irresponsible for Wireless Festival to be headlining Kanye West. The UK Jewish community is facing record levels of antisemitism, including a terrorist attack in Manchester, the attack on ambulances in Golders Green and foiled plots which would have killed many more.”

They continue, “West has repeatedly used his platform to spread antisemitism and pro-Nazi messaging. His most recent apology must be considered in the context that he went on to sell swastika T-shirts and release a song called ‘Heil Hitler’ after apologizing previously. Any venue or festival should reconsider before providing their platform to Kanye West to spread his antisemitism.”

As of today, reps for Wireless Festival have yet to comment on the matter.

London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan is just as upset as the Jewish Leadership Council is. He too denounced Ye headlining all three nights of the July event.

“We are clear the past comments/actions of this artist are offensive and wrong and are simply not reflective of London’s values.” But Khan’s hands were tied. “This was a decision taken by the festival organizers and not one City Hall is involved in,” they added.

But while the disgust is loud, Ye is still doing just fine. He’s got even more shows all ready for this summer and Bully is doing well. Not only did it break the record for opening day streams on Spotify for rap in 2026, but its sales projections are also massive.

Reportedly, his twelfth solo studio album could move anywhere between 250K-275K units in its first week. The overall reception to the tape has been mediocre to abysmal, but his devoted fans are seemingly overpowering the backlash early on.

“I was in over my head. Sneaking around with Wanya and lying to my parents had become a constant. They barely liked the idea of me dating at all, and telling them about us was out of question,” Brandy writes, according to People. “But it wasn’t just about upsetting — or disappointing — my parents. Wanya and I understood, with diamond-cut clarity that public knowledge of our relationship would ignite scandal, potentially threatening everything we’d both worked for, so he and I opted for elaborate fiction: we would pretend patience and claim we were waiting until my eighteenth birthday before pursuing any romantic connection.”

“These are the things that with hindsight you realize are wildly obvious signs of something wrong,” she continues. “Neon warning signs that I chose to ignore because I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, or what he was doing with me. Just that I was in love — or what I believed was love.”

She concludes: “I was not a fast girl with a crush. I was not a dramatic teenager who couldn’t handle rejection. I was not an unstable obsessive fan, I was a child. And he was an adult. And it’s time the world understood the difference.”

Her allegations about Wanya Morris aren’t the first time she’s made headlines for relationship drama, this year. Last month, Shyne and Ma$e discussed dating Brandy during an episode of It Is What It Is. She ended up denying that she ever dated Shyne, to which he accused her of lying.

It took place at Brooklyn’s MDC in June 2024 with Taxstone involving four other inmates with the plan. It’s unclear if he was leading this. However, there’s a good chance his past convictions are why prosecutors are looking to serve him with nearly three extra years.

Per Complex, Taxstone’s attorney, Kenneth J. Montgomery, responded to their filing by asking for 25-30 months for his client. However, Montgomery wants this to work concurrently with his existing sentence. That means Taxstone wouldn’t face a separate punishment.

As for the drug smuggling plan itself, Taxstone and these other inmates were trying feed a rope of contraband inside the MDC’s walls. It was made of pieces of paper covered in a synthetic cannabinoid, over 100 strips of a synthetic opioid, approximately 27 bags of marijuana, and over 400 cigarettes. Additionally, two lighters, a scalpel, and a cell-phone charging cord and plug were used.

Why Is Taxstone In Prison?

Moreover, duct tape was used to pack the drugs into this rope-like device and after several minutes of trying to get it through a window, the plan went south. One of the men involved fell, causing the rest of them to scramble.

Months before this operation got underway, jail officers seized a phone in a locker assigned to Taxstone. After going through it, they discovered voice recordings detailing said plan.

If all goes according to plan, Taxstone will learn his fate on April 29. Last September, the media personality pled guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Provide and Possess Contraband in a Prison.

Taxstone is already serving 35-years for the murder of rapper Troy Ave’s bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter. The tragedy occurred at a T.I. concert in 2016.

Diddy was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, last summer. He is serving out his sentence at Fort Dix in New Jersey, a facility he specifically requested for its drug rehabilitation programs.

The update comes as Diddy is currently working on his appeal case, which he announced back in December. His legal team says that the sentence fails to consider that the sexual activity referenced in his case was consensual and that prosecutors were unable to convict Diddy on the most serious offenses.

Arguing against his appeal, prosecutors wrote: “According to Combs, the district court should have closed its eyes to how he carried out his Mann Act offenses and abused his victims — violently beating them, threatening them, lying to them and plying them with drugs.”

In a filing on March 13, Diddy’s lawyers described his sentence as a “perversion of justice,” arguing for “immediate release and a judgment of acquittal or at least vacate and remand for resentencing.” They’ll present their full argument on April 9.

J. Cole’s Fight With Diddy

In other news, J. Cole recently dragged Diddy into the headlines by refusing to elaborate on his infamous run-in with him at an MTV VMAs after-party back in 2013. He referenced the alleged altercation during an appearance on Cam’ron’s Talk With Flee podcast, earlier this month.

“We was gone put it out because at that time, me and Puff hadn’t had no problems for years,” he explained. “It was cleaned up quick and we was in a good spot. […] And then all the sh*t happened with him, and I was just like, ‘Nah.’ It felt like damn near kicking a man when he’s down. It would have gave the news and the world more ammo.”

While his staunch defenders are taking victory laps, the general public isn’t too happy about this booking. Of course, that all stems from his past Antisemitic rants and songs glorifying the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler.

It’s currently driving London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, up a wall as well. So much so, that one of his reps issued a statement on his behalf.

Caught by Kurrco, his spokesperson communicates that he’s really unhappy with the decision to book Ye. “We are clear the past comments/actions of this artist are offensive and wrong and are simply not reflective of London’s values.”

However, it seems this was something that Khan had no control over. “This was a decision taken by the festival organizers and not one City Hall is involved in,” the rep added.

Overall, these comments are receiving some eye rolls from social media users. One person replies, “politicians love to lecture about values but rarely wield actual power when it conflicts with private organizers or ticket sales.”

Another adds, “They always separate themselves once the backlash starts. Same pattern every time.”

Kanye West’s Upcoming Performances

But while folks like Sadiq Khan are pretty peeved about this development, there’s not much that can be done.

It seems like Kanye West’s brief apology tour with Wall Street Journal and a Jewish rabbi have put him back in the spotlight.

Ye has plenty of other shows lined up for this year, including in places that haven’t let him perform in some time. One of those in Los Angeles, which is allowing two performances at SoFi Stadium today and on April 3.

These are a part of his global tour which will see him take stages in countries like Portugal, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and France as well. His run is ending on August 7 as of now at Estadio Algarve in Portugal. But that could change given the positive reception from his fans for Bully.

The home is under the name Lontrell Williams. Both Pooh Shiesty and his father both share this name. At the time of the investigation, it was not made clear whether or not Pooh Shiesty was the direct target of this warrant. The FBI is keeping details scarce right now, and it has not been said whether or not there was an arrest.

Cordova is a small town just East of Memphis. This is a typically quiet neighborhood, and there is no doubt that some of the neighbors were shaken by the early-morning wake-up call.

Pooh Shiesty Raided

For those of you who have been keeping track of Pooh Shiesty, the artist was released from prison back in October of 2025. At the time, he was serving a 63-month sentence over a gun charge that stemmed from a shooting. He took a plea deal in that case to avoid more jail time.

There have also been some harrowing rumors involving Pooh Shiesty since his release from jail. For instance, there was a report going around that he allegedly kidnapped and stole from Gucci Mane. This is a rumor that went unsubstantiated, although people like Adam22 were quick to claim that it was, in fact, true.

With that being said, this latest house raid is sure to bring some attention to the artist. Attention that Pooh Shiesty probably wasn’t hoping for. At this time, the details are still very scarce. With that in mind, we will be sure to keep tabs on this story and keep you informed.

“I just wanna give y’all an update on my mental, my mind state. I’ve just been reading and getting into these books, just working on my patience,” he said. From there, he cited Elaine Brown, Fred Hampton, and the works of other “revolutionaries who been through something and stand for something that a lot of people don’t know of or forgot about.”

He continued: “It’s just been sitting on my heart lately to just save this generation, save these kids. They don’t deserve it. I’m just tired of being a pawn for the culture. Just entertaining it and being ignorant. I wanna change the world around to being positive… For these kids, we gotta be their heroes. They gotta look up to us in a positive way. A lot of people ain’t gonna like it. If you can’t make money off of it, they ain’t gonna like it.”

Lil Durk has been behind bars since authorities arrested him in 2024, charging him with conspiracy, murder-for-hire, and firearm use in a violent crime. They alleged that he orchestrated the attempted murder of Quando Rondo two years prior. He has already pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence. His trial is scheduled to begin on August 25, 2026.

This isn’t the first time Durk has spoken about his mental state while in jail. In January, he opened up about losing touch with his friends while behind bars. “Crazy how you gotta wait until it’s dark out to see who really with you,” he wrote over a black screen on his Instagram Story.

It has been truly bizarre to see, and fans are worried about the man’s well-being. Some have accused him of being under religious psychosis. Others are simply worried that he is going to harm himself. It has been incredibly difficult to watch, and the NBA is taking notice.

In fact, this past week, the Chicago Bulls released Ivey from the team. They felt as though his conduct was detrimental to the franchise. Although he is currently rehabbing from an injury, they still felt as though he was hurting the locker room.

Now, Boosie Badazz is sounding off on the situation, noting that the situation simply is not fair. He believes that the NBA star’s free speech has been violated.

Boosie Badazz Speaks On Jaden Ivey

Boosie has been outspoken against the LGBTQ+ community in the past, so it should not be a surprise that he would take an interest in Ivey’s situation. In the post above, the artist claims that disagreement doesn’t equal hate. He also says that free speech is being taken away from free thinkers and those who dare to speak their own truth.

While there are certainly people who agree with Boosie, it is important to remember that Ivey represents a sports franchise. You can’t say things that are going to jeopardize sponsorships and the reputations of those you work with. It’s just not a smart idea.

Not to mention, Ivey just isn’t a good enough player to get away with something like this. He has become a distraction that is more trouble than it is worth. As a result, the Bulls took action. Pretty easy to understand.
