Megan Thee Stallion has shared her love for Japanese culture and lore in the music video for her viral sensation “Mamushi,” featuring Tokyo rapper Yuki Chiba.
The Houston Hottie dropped the clip on Friday (August 9), and as of publication, the video has already racked up almost 5.5 million views and is the no. 1 trending music video on YouTube.

In the raunchy visual, a man enters a traditional Japanese ryokan, and hands the host a card which features a snake on one side and the word “Mamushi” on the other.
Meg and a number of Japanese women, along with their services, are then presented to the guest, before the clip goes on to showcase the offerings of the ryokan, like a number of hot tubs, baths and more.
The “HISS” diva jetted off to Japan to shoot the video after a massive London show.
Meg took to Instagram late last month to share a montage from her O2 Arena show during her Hot Girl Summer Tour, and teased her next stop.

At the show, she was joined by Japanese artist Yuki Chiba, and they performed “Mamushi” for the very first time.
She captioned the post: “London was a movie [five star emojis] We just landed in Japan for thee MAMUSHI VIDEO [three hand clap emojis] Then DC hotties I’m coming to youuuu [four fire emojis].”

However, things weren’t all roses for Meg during her stay in London.
Earlier in the month, the rapper struggled to hide her true feelings after running into pro-Tory Lanez hecklers in the U.K.

In a video that surfaced, the rapper could be seen walking past a group of people when several of them yell out, “Free Tory Lanez.”
After hearing the taunts, Megan not-so-subtly puts her hand to her nose and makes a face of disgust.
Megan Thee Stallion has not taken jokes about her shooting at the hands of Tory lightly.
Last year, she called out her music peers for their lack of support after Tory was found guilty of firing several shots at her during a drunken dispute in July 2020.

In a powerful op-ed for ELLE, 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.”
