Doechii has addressed a controversy from the Met Gala where she was criticized online for her alleged treatment of assistants.
Shortly before the event started, the TDE rapper was seen stepping out The Mark Hotel covered by a portable screen and several umbrellas to keep her outfit a secret until she hit the red carpet.
In a clip, Doechii could be heard saying: “Give me another umbrella, now. I need more fucking umbrellas!”
The female MC received much criticism on social media for how she spoke to her various assistants and she has now addressed the backlash.

In a TikTok, Doechii said: “All jokes aside this was such an overstimulating night but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. This was the night we all dreamed of and my team killed it (umbrellas aside).”
She added: “God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas.”

“I cannot believe it was just two years ago I stood on this stage right here and accepted the Billboard Rising Star Award,” she said. “I had literally performed so hard I danced my shoes off and had to hop up to the mic. And here I am. That moment reflects how I approach my career – always go full out, always go hard and always be fab.”
Later in the speech, she added: “We are the creatives, we are the executives and we are the innovators who are just as central to this industry as the men. Clock it! And I want everybody to hear me clearly when I say that it is not a button, it is our brains. It is not a machine, it is our leadership. It is not a conspiracy, it is our vulnerability. And it is not an agenda, it’s God!”
