As the anticipation for the upcoming NFL season continues to build, Pepsi has set the stage for an epic showdown in a new campaign titled ‘Make Your Gameday Epic.’ The spotlight in this adrenaline-pumping commercial falls on the multi-talented rapper Megan Thee Stallion and football star Travis Kelce, among others, as they embark on a grand adventure inspired by the much-anticipated Gladiator II film.

In the three-minute commercial, two football fans find themselves thrust into a Roman coliseum-like setting after ordering Pepsi at a bar. Surrounded by the likes of Travis Kelce, Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, and Justin Jefferson, they are soon faced with a challenge orchestrated by Empress Megan, played by Megan Thee Stallion herself. 


The NFL players are tasked with overcoming various obstacles, including the release of fierce tigers, under Megan's direction. Megan Thee Stallion, in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, shared her excitement at being a part of this groundbreaking Pepsi campaign. 

The Grammy award-winning artist expressed how this collaboration made her realize the extent of her own fame, emphasizing the significance of being featured in a Pepsi commercial as a milestone in her career.


During the conversation, the rapper said, “A lot of people always ask me, 'When is it that you feel like you made it?' ... and even though, thank God, that I've done so much cool s---, this is the first time I've done something where I'm like, 'Oh wait, I might actually be famous,'.”
