DWTS’ Iman Shumpert’s wife Teyana Taylor rushed to hospital after ‘body gave out’ before concert
SINGER Teyana Taylor found herself in the hospital for exhaustion, after she says her body "gave out" just before she was set to perform at the Femme It Forward concert in Mashantucket, Connecticut Saturday night.
The Wake Up Love singer shared an update on , explaining what happened.
Next to a photo of herself lying in bed, flashing a peace sign, she thanked her fans for their support and understanding, and tried to explain a little of what happened.
"Y’all know Petunia don’t miss no shows & most importantly, know I’ve been leaving it all on tha stage for a month straight 1000%," she wrote. "So I am really saddened to have not been able to do the same for you last night.
"My team & I tried everything down to the very last second to get me out on that stage, but my body simply just gave out, which actually started a few days ago."
Iman Shumpert's wife went on to say she's powered through other ailments, like a broken foot, and still performed on stage. But this time, something was different.
"Honestly you have to listen to your body and know when to sit down; or it will definitely sit you down….. in the ER.
"Mine sat my ass down in the ER for sure but I’ve since got the proper fluids and nutrients put back into my body all night/morning & will take the next few off days to continue to recover."
