In addition to hosting the 2024 MTV VMAs, Megan Thee Stallion was also booked as a performer. She absolutely killed both roles, pulling out some iconic looks from the show’s past during her hosting duties, and then burning the house down with her performance, which included hits “Boa,” “B.A.S.,” “Hiss,” and “Mamushi,” for which she was joined by guest rapper Yuki Chiba in his first US performance. The Houston hottie is also nominated for five awards, with Best Hip-Hop, Best Direction, and Best Visual Effects among them.

Meg’s had a busy 2024, dropping her new album Megan while completing her Hot Girl Summer Tour with GloRilla, during which she became one of the WNBA’s biggest supporters by bringing players like Natasha Cloud and Angel Reese on stage with her. Then, she joined Kamala Harris’ campaign, declaring that the Vice President is “for the Hotties” during a performance at one of the Presidential hopeful’s rallies.

And just when it seemed like she’d delivered all the new music she had to offer this year, she teamed up once again with BTS’s RM for another cross-cultural collaboration, “Neva Play.” Oh, and she seemingly hard-launched her relationship with NBA player Torrey Craig, so it looks like she’s having her fair share of play along with all that work.

Megan Thee Stallion’s NSFW New ‘Mamushi’ Video Sees Her Transform Into A Gigantic Snake

by

Megan Thee Stallion has frequently proven that she’s a lover of Japanese culture, whether she’s busting out Sailor Moon cosplay or presenting at the Anime Awards. Her love for the country continues to shine through in her latest output, a new video for the Yuki Chiba collaboration “Mamushi.”

A mamushi is a venomous type of viper found in Japan, and it turns out that Meg herself becomes one in the video. It starts with a man, played by Japanese actor Shô Kasamatsu, visiting a spa. There, he’s given a variety of women to choose from (in an apparent Rush Hour 2 reference), and he opts for Meg. Quickly, though, she transforms into a gigantic mamushi, which doesn’t bode well for Kasamatsu’s character. Between transformations and other goings-on, Megan hangs out in the spa and raps the song while frequently naked.

The video was filmed in multiple locations in Tokyo including the Tsurumaki Onsen Jinya (an onsen is a type of bath facility) and the Engaku-ji Temple (a major Zen Buddhist temple in Japan).

The visual arrives during a busy time for Meg: She just popped up at a Kamala Harris rally, she features on Latto’s new album, and a documentary about her life appears to be on the way soon.

Watch the “Mamushi” video above.

Artwork:

In sharing the cover for Megan, the Houston Hottie caused some controversy among fans, who decried the original art’s departure from the previously established snake theme of the promotion to date. However, it appeared Meg was ready for the backlash, as she had not just one but two snakier covers ready to go. You can see all three covers below.
