Megan Thee Stallion is set to make her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge!

The chart-topping rapper - whose real name is Megan Pete - said: "Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honour.

"I've always believed in pushing myself creatively and theatre is definitely a new opportunity that I'm excited to embrace."

Megan - who released her debut album, Good News, back in 2020 - can't wait to perform on Broadway.

She said: "Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I'm up for the challenge and can't wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me."

Meanwhile, Nneka Onuorah previously hailed Megan as the "definition of strength".

The director helmed the rap star's Prime Video documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, and Nneka subsequently praised the "resilience" of the Mamushi hitmaker.

Nneka told TIME: "Most of us say we're strong, but we've never had millions of people every day lying on us, saying negative things about us.

"I commend Megan for her resilience throughout this process to still come out on top. She truly is the definition of strength to me."

Megan was shot in the foot by rapper Tory Lanez in July 2020, and she opened up about her struggles in the documentary.

Despite her fame and success, Nneka believes that Megan's story is still "so relatable".

Nneka said: "This film is Megan's open book into her heart during one of the hardest times of her life.

"It highlights how grief and depression can take a toll on your life and your experiences. There's so much grief in the world right now, which is why I feel like this story is so relatable."
