Last night's Met Gala featured Rihanna announcing her pregnancy and André 3000 wearing a whole piano. However, there was some drama when a video went viral, capturing rising singer and rapper Doechii shouting at her assistants while trying to hide from paparazzi. Now, she shared a statement.

In the clip, Doechii stands behind a wardrobe screen, yelling, "I'm ready. No, stop. Give me another umbrella now. And another. I need more fucking umbrellas." Today, she posted a TikTok of herself with her hands up and overlain text that reads, "God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas." On her Instagram Story, she wrote:

and all jokes aside I'm so so so proud of my glam team and the LV team for an incredible night !

We've been dreaming about this Met for a long time and the theme this year is in such alignment with who I am what I stand for. it's nothing but God that this year was our debut.

Everyone killed it. We nailed the theme.

and a time was had

Last week, Doechii joined Westside Gunn on the “Egypt” remix. Earlier this year, her ubiquitous song "Anxiety" became her first Top 10 hit.
