On September 6, 2024, Megan Thee Stallion dropped her latest single and the official MV for Neva Play (feat. RM of BTS). The comic-book-esque music video featured the BTS leader as the male lead from an action anime. The track was recorded ahead of Kim Namjoon aka RM's military enlistment in December 2023.
Additionally, the BTS leader—his anime avatar—was seen handcuffed in the MV. He opened his rap verse with "What's up, Stallion?" and broke free from his handcuffs. As he engaged in a fighting sequence with the goons, RM delivered powerful verses like "for Asia, man we paved the way" in his deep voice.

Fans were impressed with the unique anime-styled music video on Megan Thee Stallion's latest track. They praised the accuracy of Namjoon's anime character and flooded social media with their comments.

"Remember when Namjoon shared this last year? The Super Crooks anime series has the same vibe as the Neva Play MV... Was that a hint Namjoon?" another fan noted.
"Whoever made anime namjoon I thank you infinitely bro you just blessed my eyes," another fan added.

"His Rap and his Anime it's just amazing...the Swag and Coolness he has and now we get a Rap of Joonie while fighting," one fan said.
"Y'ALL NAMJOON DRIVING A CAR?? MY MAN GOT A DRIVING LICENSE IN ANIME WORLD??" another fan joked.
