Megan Thee Stallion Pays Homage to Japanese Cinema in Action-Packed Video for ‘Mamushi’


Megan Thee Stallion's viral 'Mamushi' track received the music video treatment with cameos from Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba and actor Shô Kasamatsu.

Texas-bred Megan Thee Stallion conquered a new legion of fans after releasing “Mamushi,” a culture-blending collaboration with Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba. The song was released as part of her latest, self-titled offering (her first effort as an independent artist), and received the special treatment after it unexpectedly became the breakout track of the 18-track set. Megan uses the souls of the dead gangsters to create an army of blue-faced minions in a scene that takes direct inspiration from director Akira Kurosawa’s 1990 film, “Dreams.”
