Exoticism is presented as a constant in Megan Thee Stallion‘s imaginary, as we could already see in her clip of ‘Cobra’ in which she hypnotizes the reptile with its venom. On her current trip to Japan, she has continued to explore the concept, as we could see in a video on TikTok, in which she was seen tasting the habushu liquor.
