Megan Thee Stallion has taken the internet by storm once again with the release of her highly anticipated music video for the viral hit “Mamushi.”
In this captivating visual, Megan shares her love for Japanese culture alongside Tokyo rapper Yuki Chiba. The Houston Hottie dropped the video on August 9, and it has already amassed almost 5.5 million views, becoming the number one trending music video on YouTube.
The video kicks off with a man entering a traditional Japanese ryokan and handing the host a card featuring a snake on one side and the word “Mamushi” on the other. As the story unfolds, Meg and several Japanese women are presented to the guest, showcasing the ryokan’s luxurious offerings, including hot tubs and baths.
Megan shot the video in Japan shortly after a massive show in London. She shared her excitement on Instagram, posting a montage from her O2 Arena performance on the Hot Girl Summer Tour and teasing her next stop in Japan. Joined by Yuki Chiba, they performed “Mamushi” live for the first time, much to the delight of their fans.
However, Megan’s trip to London wasn’t entirely smooth. Earlier in the month, she encountered pro-Tory Lanez hecklers who shouted, “Free Tory Lanez” at her. In response, Megan subtly expressed her disapproval by putting her hand to her nose and making a face of disgust.
Megan has consistently stood her ground regarding the 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. In a powerful op-ed for ELLE, she highlighted how her attacker had mocked her trauma and spread false narratives about the night of July 12, 2020. She wrote, “For years, my attacker laughed and joked about my trauma. For years, my attacker peddled false narratives about what happened on the night of July 12, 2020. For years, my attacker tried to leverage social media to take away my power. Imagine how it feels to be called a liar every day? Especially from a person who was once part of your inner circle.”
The ‘Mamushi’ video not only showcases Megan Thee Stallion’s artistic versatility but also her resilience in the face of adversity. Fans eagerly await what she will bring next.
