Dent De Cuir directed the song's music video, which was released on May 12, 2017, and features chef Roy Choi. It first shows Perry wrapped in plastic before chefs cut the wrapping open and "start kneading her like dough" before she is boiled in a pot with carrots and prepared like a food while singing her lyrics and Choi serves her as a meal to various cannibalizing patrons. Migos watch and rap their verses as Perry rings the bell, signaling them to turn a switch allowing her to turn the tables on the patrons. In a scene heavily inspired by the 1988 film Beetlejuice, the patrons are then bound, gagged and then dismembered by the chefs as Perry then dances on a pole. Perry then is served a pie containing dismembered body parts of the patrons.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7793006/katy-perry-bon-appetit-video-migos|magazine=Billboard|date=May 12, 2017|access-date=May 12, 2017|title=Katy Perry Is the Main Course in Eerie New 'Bon Appetit' Video With Migos: Watch|first=Da'Shan|last=Smith|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170516000942/http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7793006/katy-perry-bon-appetit-video-migos|archive-date=May 16, 2017|url-status=live}}
