Megan Thee Stallion is a big fan of Japanese culture and has proclaimed her love for anime and manga from the start. On March 2, 2024, she flew to Tokyo to present the Anime of the Year award at the prestigious 8th annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards. While there, she chilled with Yuki Chiba, a heavyweight Japanese rapper, and wouldn't you know it, they ended up recording a song together! The ensuing track, "Mamushi," slithered onto Megan's third eponymous album. The song is Megan's way of bowing down to all things Japanese pop culture. It's not the first time she's shown her love for Japanophilia either – there's another track on the album called "Otaku Hot Girl," which is a love letter to anime and manga. The Mamushi is a venomous pit viper species found in Japan. The title doesn't appear in the lyrics, but it fits right in with the whole snake theme Megan's got going on her album - other tracks are titled "Cobra," "Hiss," "Boa" and "Rattle." Yuki Chiba used to go by the moniker KOHH, but ditched that in 2021, opting for his real name instead. After a three-year hiatus, he burst back onto the scene with "Team Tomodachi," and now this team-up with Megan is his official re-entry to the international spotlight. The track is produced by Koshy, who has worked with several prominent Japanese rap artists in the past, including Chiba himself.

I get money, I'm a star
Star, star, star, star, star, star

Sutā, sutā, sutā, sutā, kirakira
Watashi wa sutā (Real hot girl shit)

He know who I am, ain't had to say my name
Stack it up like Tetris but this money ain't a game
Watashi, kawaii ī karada
Drinkin' out the bottle, gettin' twisted, maruchan
Big exotic, Hermes, this a croc'
Watch too expensive, ain't no way I'm gettin' clocked
I think I'm so sexy, every shirt I own is cropped
So many karats, diamonds do the bunny hop (Ah)
In the US or Japan, if he meet me, he gon' bow
I got yen for your friends, if they pretty bring 'em out
Goin' dumb in Madam Woo, pourin' sake in they mouth
Told him put me on his plate, bring them chopsticks to the south

I get money, I'm a star
Star, star, star, star, star, star
I get money, I'm a star
Star, star, star, star, star, star

Nagareru hoshi-tachi doko ni mukau?
Mata negai kanaenagara kurasu
Juerī mi ni tsuketa mama utau
Sutā-tachi ga atsumatta sutajio
Yonayona sake takusan narabu ajito
Sakki made roppongi de shūroku rajio
Sokkara terebi satsuei suru hashigo
Kamera-tachi oikake teru oretachi o
Daisuki pikapika no daiya
Kurai toko kagayai teru maiban
Nice to meet you suru aisatsu
I'm so happy arigatai na

I get money, I'm a star

Nice to meet you する挨拶

Where are the flowing stars heading?
Living while granting wishes once again
Singing with jewelry on
The stars gathered in the studio
Night after night, lots of alcohol at the hideout
Just finished recording on the radio in Roppongi
Then off to do TV shoots
Cameras chasing after us on ladders
Love the shiny diamonds
They shine in the dark every night
Greeting with a "Nice to meet you"
I'm so happy, grateful

I get money, I'm a star
Star, star, star, star, star, star
I get money, I'm a star
Star, star, star, star, star, star
We earn money, we're stars
I earn money, I'm a star
Star, star, star, star, sparkling
I am a star
