Megan Thee Stallion Heads to Japan for ‘Rush Hour 2’-Inspired ‘Mamushi’ Video Featuring Yuki Chiba
Following a brief delay, Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Mamushi” music video arrived on Friday (Aug. 9) featuring Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba.
For the Kevin Leyda-directed visual, Megan headed to Japan and enlisted Tokyo Vice actor Sho Kasamatsu as the clip’s protagonist. Kasamatsu pulls up to a barren spa and plays the right card to gain access to a room filled with beautiful women of his choosing.
The next scene’s straight out of the Rush Hour 2 playbook when Carter (Chris Tucker) and Lee (Jackie Chan) get lucky at the Heaven on Earth massage parlor in the 2001 blockbuster. A scantily clad Megan Thee Stallion slithers through the hot springs for a clip that’s sure to go viral, before transforming into a snake — continuing with her serpentine themes of Megan — to become a man’s worst nightmare.
The men are brainwashed into becoming members of Megan’s Blue Man Group army, with her as their leader, but it appears to all just be a dream when Kasamatsu wakes up in the hot tub, with his time at the spa over.
The Houston Hottie reeled in another hit with “Mamushi” dominating the charts from her Megan album, which sits at No. 45 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 and has been on the chart for five weeks.

Megan and Yuki surprised fans to deliver the live performance debut of “Mamushi” to close out the arena portion of the Hot Girl Summer Tour during a show at London’s O2 in July.
