Megan Thee Stallion is taking her career to international heights, recently arriving in Japan to film the music video for her much-anticipated track, “Mamushi.” This move follows her electrifying performance at London’s O2 Arena as part of her Hot Girl Summer Tour. Fans were thrilled to witness her perform “Mamushi” live with Japanese artist Yuki Chiba, marking their collaboration’s first-ever onstage debut.
Highlights from the London O2 Arena Show
On July 20, Megan shared a high-energy montage from her London concert on Instagram, showcasing her powerful performance and the palpable excitement of her fans. The rapper captioned her post: “London was a movie 🎬 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We just landed in Japan for the MAMUSHI VIDEO 👏👏👏. Then DC hotties I’m coming to you 🔥🔥🔥🔥!” Fans across the globe are now eagerly awaiting the official Mamushi video release and counting down to her future tour dates.
Confronting Past Trauma Amid International Success
While her success in London was undeniable, Megan’s time there wasn’t without challenges. In a now-viral video, a group of hecklers shouted, “Free Tory Lanez,” referencing her past trauma with the rapper. Megan, who previously detailed the 2020 incident where Lanez was found guilty of harming her, subtly but pointedly responded to the hecklers, putting her hand to her nose in a gesture of disapproval.
Megan has not shied away from speaking out about the personal toll and public scrutiny she’s faced since the incident. In a powerful op-ed for ELLE, she shared her experience of enduring widespread doubt and mockery, with some people in the industry questioning her story. “For years, my attacker laughed and joked about my trauma,” she wrote, expressing frustration over the public’s eagerness to dismiss her experience. She recounted how her trauma was trivialized, with some even creating conspiracy theories to downplay the event.
Resilience and Empowerment: A Message to Her Fans
Despite the adversity, Megan has remained a beacon of resilience and strength. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “I could have let the adversity break me, but I persevered.” Even as some in the music industry criticized her, Megan has stood her ground, using her platform to uplift her fans and inspire them to rise above challenges.
As Megan embarks on her next steps in Japan, fans across continents are ready to see what she’ll deliver. With her resilience shining through and the “Mamushi” video on the horizon, she continues to make an unstoppable mark on the global stage. Are you excited to see Megan’s latest journey unfold?
