Doechii has addressed the viral clip of her yelling at her team before to walking the red carpet at the 2025 Met Gala.
The Alligator Bites Never Heal artist tried to downplay the situation by posting a lighthearted TikTok video of herself, along with “God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas ☂️😂” written across the screen, as The Commodores track “Easy” plays in the background.
The caption struck a more serious tone. “All jokes aside this was such an overstimulating night but I wouldn’t trade it for the world!” Doechii wrote. “This was the night we all dreamed of and my team killed it (umbrellas aside) 😭🥴”
Doechii expressed her appreciation for her glam team and the LV team for “an incredible night.” She also elaborated on what this year’s Met Gala and the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme meant to her, adding, “Everyone killed it. We nailed the theme. and a time was had ☂️”
Doechii came under fire over the treatment of her team as she can be heard demanding one umbrella after another in an effort to avoid being spotted by cameras.
“I’m ready … No, stop, give me another umbrella, now!” Doechii says from behind a screen in the video below. “And another one. Who has an umbrella? I need four fucking umbrellas … Because they’re gonna try to stick their fucking cameras in here. … Hold the umbrellas and do not let that fucking Velcro [unclear] fall.”
“I will not!” a team member responds.
Aside from the drama surrounding Doechii’s viral Met Gala moment, the rapper was also part of the event’s Host Committee—a tradition revived for the first time since 2019.
The lineup included major names across fashion, music, sports, and the arts, such as André 3000, Simone Biles, Ayo Edebiri, Usher, Janelle Monáe, and Spike Lee.
