Megan Thee Stallion tears up during ‘Moulin Rouge!’ curtain call
Megan Thee Stallion gets emotional during a “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” curtain call after news of her break up with basketball player, Klay Thompson.
A viral video shows Megan Thee Stallion having a vulnerable moment at her Broadway performance over the weekend, amid the news that she called it quits with her now ex-boyfriend, Klay Thompson.
The “Bigger In Texas” star is playing the role of Zidler in Broadway’s “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in Manhattan.
The video circulating online shows Megan in tears while receiving roaring applause from the crowd on Saturday night, April 25. It was captured shortly after the Houston rapper publicly accused Thompson, who plays for the Dallas Mavericks, of cheating on her.
Their breakup has sparked discourse on social media, and Megan’s fans also showed support and rallied behind her.
“We love you,” one fan was heard saying in the video.

‘Trust, fidelity, and respect are non-negotiable,’ Megan said
Just hours before, Megan did not hold back in her Instagram story, writing, “Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet.’”
The Grammy Award winner continued, “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’???? “I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall.”
Megan and Thompson went public with their relationship in July 2025. Speaking with People magazine at the time, she called him “the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.”
Megan confirmed her split with Thompson in a statement to USA TODAY: “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 put her heart into her music
During their relationship, Megan notably released her song “Lover Girl” in October 2025, in which she raps the lyrics: “My man, my man, my man, my baby.”
When asked about what inspired the track during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” that same month, she responded, “What in my life or who in my life,” explaining she was “more accepting of love” at the time.
“Right now, I’m in such like a feminine era of my life,” Megan added. “I’m not saying I’m in my feminine era of my life because of a man. I’m saying because I’ve been through like so much and I feel like I was always on the defense for a long time.”
Megan was also spotted sitting courtside at Thompson‘s games and giving her audience a glimpse into their everyday life on social media, including cooking for Thanksgiving. Earlier this year, Thompson’s father raved about her kitchen skills during a run-in with TMZ.
According to Sports Illustrated, Megan threw Thompson a surprise birthday extravaganza in February and brought out his favorite group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, for a performance.
