Megan Thee Stallion Breaks Down in Tears at ‘Moulin Rouge!’ After Klay Thompson Breakup

Megan Thee Stallion got emotional during her Moulin Rouge! The Musical performance following her breakup with Klay Thompson.

In fan-captured footage from her Saturday (April 25) appearance at the Tony Award-winning Broadway show in New York City, the 31-year-old rapper is seen tearing up onstage during the curtain call hours after announcing her split from the NBA star amid cheating allegations.

Still in costume, the “WAP” hitmaker turned away from the applauding audience to wipe away her tears as she received a standing ovation.

The three-time Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper recently made her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! as the first female-identifying performer in the role of Zidler, beginning an eight-week engagement on March 24 that runs through May 17 at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Leading up to Saturday’s show, Megan confirmed her split from Thompson on social media.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet,’” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “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’????”

The rapper further addressed the breakup with the Dallas Mavericks player in a statement obtained by Billboard.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan said. “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 hip-hop star and shooting guard began dating in summer 2025, with Megan once describing their first meeting as “a meet cute” and calling her former partner “the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.” The pair made their red carpet debut in New York City that July.

Last Thanksgiving, Thompson had named his boat after her (“SS Stallion”), and the couple spent the holiday together with his family.

Earlier this year, Megan said that she was “manifesting my engagement” in a video clip filmed in Milan with Olympic athletes Brittany Bowe and Hilary Knight, who are engaged.
