Nick Cannon was hospitalized with pneumonia after performing at a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.

“So, I guess I’m not Superman… I promised myself I would never be back at this place again… But this is a great lesson to take care of YOU or YOU won’t be able to take care of everyone else,” the comedian, host and rapper said in an Instagram post of photos of him in a hospital bed. 

Cannon, who was also diagnosed with Lupus kidney disease in January 2012, told his fans that he didn’t want prayers or well wishes, he just needed “some solid rest” to get back on his feet “stronger than ever.” He also ended the post with the hashtag #LupusWarrior.
