Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Kelce and more help Pepsi remix its legendary Roman Empire ad

US rapper Megan Thee Stallion and NFL stars, Travis Kelce, Josh Allen, Justin Jefferson and Derrick Henry take a trip to ancient Rome in Pepsico’s latest campaign, ‘Make Your Gameday Epic’.

The platform places Megan as Empress Megan – a ruler presiding over a gladiatorial battle between the aforementioned NFL players. During its full-length three-minute film, actors Lamorne Morris (Fargo) and Jake Lacy (White Lotus) have a conversation on the Roman Empire before finding themselves in the centre of a coliseum presided over by Empress Megan.

After Henry, Kelce, Allen and Jefferson enter the field, the Mamushi rapper commands her people to “open the gates”, letting loose tigers to fight them. Ultimately, the NFL players outsmart the ferocious felines, and win a can of Pepsi each.
