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 announced on 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 Vice and Gannibal), 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 “Mamushi” video also highlights Megan’s viral choreography that she introduced in late June, which has since become its own craze on TikTok. She performed it during the last stretch of her Hot Girl Summer tour, which kicked off in Minneapolis on May 14. She also performed the song with Chibafor the first time during her final tour stop in London.
“We about to do something real cute for the last Hot Girl Summer arena tour show. We ain’t did this s— the whole tour,” Megan told the crowd, per a video shared by NME, before bringing her rap collaborator out.
The rap star had been teasing the track’s music video for days after that, dropping a snippet of it on social media at the top of August captioned, “Its almost timeee⭐️⭐️⭐️🐍🐍🐍 #MAMUSHI.”
