Megan Thee Stallion shot her part of the ‘Bongos’ music video at the same Beverly Hills house that was shot for Whitney and ‘The Bodyguard’ movie.
About the “intricate” and “beautiful” video, Cardi added: “It’s a different theme, and the video is like a whole complete different type of theme… We worked so hard on the music video. You’re gonna see… that’s thought put into that.”
Hot Girl Summer is not over yet! Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have released a summery music video for their new joint single “Bongos,” the not-so-similar follow-up to their massive joint hit “WAP.”
The Latin-infused beats of “Bongos” match up with colorful visuals of both Cardi and Megan relaxing by the beach in over-the-top accessories and custom fits. The pair take turns spitting their verses over a twerk-worthy bassline and take center stage, rapping:
The song is Megan’s first release since her 2022 sophomore effort “Traumazine,” which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and boasted radio hits “Sweetest Pie” with Dua Lipa and “Pressurelicious” featuring Future.
Megan announced she would be taking a step back from music after having gone through an intensely publicized trial in connection to an incident in 2020, where she was shot in the foot by rapper Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the altercation.
During an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Cardi said it made her “feel good that [Megan] trusts me” and added that they both “put in our sweat and everything” to produce the song to their liking. “We worked so hard on the music video. You’re gonna see… that’s thought put into that,” she said.
Cardi also talked through the recording process:
The part where Megan is kind of at in the song, because we chopped the song a lot, like the part where like she’s at, it be like “Bong, bong, bong,” and I was planning for that to be the hook, but it just sounded so incomplete. Then, we just like, “This song needs a feature,” so it’s like a lot of people wanted it to go the Spanish route with it and I’m like, “I could see that.” I could see that, definitely. Of course, like you could feel it, but I was like, “I feel like I hear Megan on this.” It’s like, “Really? You don’t think that It’s more like of the Latin part,” and I’m like, “Yeah, but I hear her on this. Like, I know it. I know I could hear her on this.”
On returning to work with Megan, Cardi said: “It feels good [to get back into the game]… it makes me feel good that she trusts me. I’mma give my all. Not only am I doing this for myself, [but] ‘I want you to trust me.’ We trust each other.”
