Mar. 15, 2025

Megan Thee Stallionbrings her love for Japanese culture to life in her latest music video.

On Friday, Aug. 9, the Grammy-winning rap star, 29, dropped the highly anticipated visual for her viral hit “Mamushi” featuring Yuki Chiba — though it arrived a tad late due to some technical issues. “Hotties we had technical difficulties but we live now!!!” Megan announcedon social media. “MAMUSHI VIDEO OUT EVERYWHERE🐍🐍🐍 HOTTIES RUN IT UP.”

The Kevin “Onda “Leyva-directed visual was filmed in Tokyo, with the rapper’s collaborator, Chiba, and Japanese actor Shô Kasamatsu (Tokyo ViceandGannibal), who helped unravel a sexy yet sinister story that begins in a spa and ends elsewhere with Megan creating her own blue-faced army of gangsters who invade said spa.

The NSFW video opens with Kasamatsu playing a spa patron who’s introduced to a room full of beautiful Japanese women and an enchanting Megan, who whisks him off only to swallow him whole when she transforms into a mamushi — the venomous Japanese viper, a nod to the rapper’s ongoing snake motif.

It goes on to show how Megan, as the viper, preys on the gangsters at her spa, sneaking up on them in the nude in a steamy pit before they meet their demise. She then teams up with Chiba, who carries the deceased victims off to get them ready to join the rapper’s army — a scene that also pays homage to Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s 1990 filmDreams.
