Watch: Pop singer bitten by snake during music video shoot

Singer Maeta was bitten by a snake during the shooting of a music video.

Pop singer Maeta was bitten by a snake while shooting for a music video. The musician – who was signed to Jay Z’s label Roc Nation in April this year – shared footage of the incident on Instagram and Twitter last week, where it has since gone viral.

In the short clip, the 21-year-old was seen lying on a carpet surrounded by several snakes. Dressed in black lace, she was seen smiling, before one of the snakes crawled on her chin and bit her. Clearly taken aback, Maeta withdrew from the pain and pushed the snake away. “Oh, it bites him like that,” one person was heard saying off-camera as the singer turned away, apparently in pain.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Meta wrote, “What am I doing to make a video for all of you.” “Never again,” she added, sharing the same clip on Twitter.

The video has garnered more than 4.8 million views since being posted on Instagram last week.

According to people magazineNone of the snakes being used for the music video were venomous. The singer suffered no other injuries other than a bite on the chin.

R&B singer Maeta, 21, started posting songs on SoundCloud as a teenager. She rose to prominence earlier this year after signing to Jay Z’s management label Rock Nation and releasing her debut album Habits.
