Three years after getting their world talking and pissing off all the right people with their chart-topping hit WAP, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have teamed up for a second time.

On Friday morning, the duo unveiled the hyper-colourful music video for their new single Bongos, and it’s every bit as defiant and fun-filled as their previous effort.

Cardi kicks off the video by rapping in her own private oasis in a swimsuit and feathered headpiece, while surrounded by male dancers in brightly-coloured Speedos.

As the clip progresses, she’s seen twerking on a fridge and performing choreography on a beach, before Megan joins in the fun, rapping on a diving board and striking some ambitious poses with the Bodak Yellow rapper.

The video ends with Cardi perforoming in some of the most towering platform heels we’ve ever seen, while another shot shows her and Megan with their legs entangled, in scenes reminiscent of their headline-grabbing Grammys performance from back in 2021.

Oh, and she also gives one backing dancer a shot of tequila straight from the bottle. Very generous of her.

The Bongos video was helmed by Ukrainian director Tanu Muino, whose recent work includes Lil Nas X’s Montero (Call Me By Your Name), Harry Styles’ As It Was, Doja Cat’s Attention and Sam Smith’s I’m Not Here To Make Friends.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion released their first collaboration WAP in 2020.

Despite some backlash among more conservative critics due to its sexual lyrics and accompanying music video, the song reached number one on both sides of the Atlantic, and the pair later gave their WAP its live debut at the Grammys.
