Doechii Responds to Backlash Over Met Gala 2025 Video of Her Demanding Umbrellas 

Doechii had just a little anxiety about her first Met Gala. 

And she’s in a space to joke about it. Following the backlash she received after she was heard yelling for more umbrellas before leaving The Mark Hotel to attend the May 5 event, the “What It Is” musician explained herself.

In a TikTok video shared May 7, the 26-year-old slowly backs away from the camera while holding up her hands as “Easy” by The Commodores plays. Poking fun at the moment, the caption over the video read, “God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas.”

Further elaborating, Doechii wrote a longer caption under the video.

“All jokes aside this was such an overstimulating night,” the “Denial Is a River” rapper wrote. “But I wouldn’t trade it for the world! This was the night we all dreamed of and my team killed it (umbrellas aside).”

Doechii’s comments were filled with support as one user quipped, “God forbid a girl finally makes it to THE MET GALA cut my girl some slack frrrr.” JT from The City Girls related to the moment, writing, “That was anxietyyyyyyy! Big night! Your debut! Getty was there, I get it! You ate!”
