Doechii is responding to critics after she was caught yelling at her team to hide her outfit from paparazzi while on the way to the 2025 Met Gala.
Two days after the incident occurred on the biggest night in fashion, the Grammy Award-winning rapper took to her Instagram Stories to address the situation.
As fans recall, a clip circulating on TikTok shows the rapper hiding inside a box made out of a clothing rack while making her way out of The Mark Hotel before the Monday, May 5, event.

She can be heard demanding that her team use umbrellas for extra coverage.
“I’m ready. No, stop. Give me another umbrella now — and another. I need more f—— umbrellas,” the musician can be heard saying.
PEOPLE also captured the initial moments when the musician was uncovered and quickly ran out of the view of cameras after getting out of an elevator.
After the umbrellas and clothing rack were placed around her, Doechii could be heard shouting profanities as she reminded her team to hold the umbrellas in place.
Doechii poked fun at the situation by uploading a video of herself laughing while holding her hands up on her Instagram Stories. The video, which was also shared on TikTok, was backed by The Commodores’ track “Easy.
The performer wrote in a text overlayed on top of the video: “God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas ☂️😂.”
In a follow-up post on her Instagram Stories, Doechii 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,” her statement continued. “Everyone killed it. We nailed the theme. and a time was had ☂️.”
At the 2025 Met Gala, Doechii looked confident as ever in a Louis Vuitton suit that she collaborated on with Pharrell Williams
