Rapper Doechii flips out on her team as she attempts to hide her Met Gala look: ‘I need more f***ing umbrellas'
Anxiety, keeps on trying her.
Doechii had a diva moment ahead of her Met Gala debut on Monday, snapping at her team when they failed to properly conceal her ensemble.
According to a video posted on TikTok Monday, the Anxiety rapper, 26, rushed to hide her look while inside The Mark Hotel, where many of the stars get ready before fashion's biggest night.
However, when photographers in the lobby started flashing their cameras to take pics, she frustratingly and quickly turned around to have her security guards and members of her staff try and cover her.
The team then came up with the idea to hide her inside of a white wardrobe screen and wheel her out.
While inside of the contraption, Doechii — whose real name is Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon — could be heard shouting, 'Give me another umbrella — now! … I need more f***ing umbrellas.'
The Alter Ego rapper then told a member of her staff, 'Move these umbrellas. I don't want these people f***ing seeing me.'
As they began to roll her out of the lobby, bodyguards shouted at bystanders clear a path.
Doechii was then overheard sternly telling staffers in a video People posted, 'Hold the umbrellas there.'
Once outside of The Mark Hotel, the madness continued, as the Denial is a River rapper tried to make her way into her sprinter van without fans or paparazzi outside getting a sneak peek.
'Move the umbrella … Get closer! Get closer,' she shouted at her team, per a third video seen by Page Six.
'Are you blocking it?' she added, prompting a stressed out staffer to sternly reply, 'Yes!' They all then repeatedly reassure her that she is blocked.
Page Six has reached out to Doechii's reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
It's unclear why the What It Is rapper was so concerned with trying to hide her outfit since many other big stars, including Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Nicki Minaj, all openly departed the hotel.
Doechii eventually hit the Met Gala red carpet, though, to showcase her coat and matching trouser shorts designed by Pharrell and Louis Vuitton for the 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' theme.
'I'm a little nervous,' the Grammy winner then confessed in an interview with Ego Nwodim and Teyana Taylo for Vogue.
'But it feels really good. This is one of the biggest nights in fashion and for it to be so black, I'm present, I'm here.'

How Justin Baldoni feels after $600m countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds dismissed
Justin Baldoni's team remains confident despite a judge dismissing the actor's $400 million countersuit against his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling,' the actor's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told Page Six in a statement on Tuesday. 'While the Court dismissed the defamation related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations,' he continued. 'This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a non-existent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' Freedman also claimed that Lively's allegations are 'no truer today than they were yesterday.' 'And with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking,' he said. 'We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public and for the dedication of the internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity.' A Baldoni insider echoed Freedman's optimism, telling the Daily Mail on Monday, 'Even though it is a stumble, Justin still has full trust with his legal team. 'He is looking to figure out how to move forward from this current setback,' the source continued. While he feels confident that his lawyers will pull through, the Jane the Virgin alum, 41, sees things as 'a tale of two worlds right now.' 'Justin feels this is a huge kick to the guts,' the source admitted. On Monday, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motion to dismiss the actor's January countersuit, along with his $250 million (A$380 million) libel lawsuit against the New York Times, according to documents obtained by Page Six. The judge wrote that Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, 'have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged.' Liman said that Baldoni's complaint 'alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the 'Times' made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.' 'The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the 'Times' would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law,' he continued. Baldoni's lawyers have until June 23 to amend their claims for breach of implied covenant. Lively's legal team, Esra Hudson & Mike Gottlieb, called the move a 'total victory and a complete vindication' in a statement to Page Six. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' (A$600 million) lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it,' the statement said. The Gossip Girl alum, 37, was seen celebrating the news at the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner in New York City on Monday night. In August 2024, feud rumours swirled for Baldoni and Lively after their project, a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book of the same name, premiered in New York City. Lively went on to sue the movie's director for sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages three months later. Baldoni denied any wrongdoing and hit back with his $400 million countersuit, accusing Lively and Reynolds of defamation, as well as a lawsuit accusing the New York Times (the first outlet to report on the actress' lawsuit) of libel. He has also accused Lively of bulldozing him throughout the movie project and taking over his directorial duties.

In December, the actress sued co-star Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment on the set of the drama It Ends with Us, which he also directed. Lively also claimed the 41-year-old orchestrated a smear campaign against her around the film's release in August 2024. Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, filed a countersuit for alleged defamation and civil extortion against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others. But on Monday, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted motions to dismiss the $400 million (£295 million) defamation lawsuit against Lively…

Willow Stefanovic is living her very best model life
Karl Stefanovic's model daughter, Willow, is living her very best model life. The 20-year-old, whose first name is Ava but goes by her middle name, Willow, looked particularly striking at a recent wedding she attended in Italy. The celebrity offspring has over 11,000 followers on Instagram, and her fans and friends were quick to compliment her pink dress moment. It was an onslaught of praise. Someone said she looked 'breathtaking' another raved and said she looked 'wow and unreal' and her dad's co-host Sarah Albo jumped on her keyboard and called the young model a 'gorgeous girl!' Willow is the eldest daughter of Stefanovic and his ex-wife, Cassandra Thorburn. Stefanovic and Thorburn called it quits in 2016. The Today Show host ultimately moved on and married Jasmine Yarbrough, a shoe designer and socialite. Willow manages to resemble both her well-known parents, and she appears close to her stepmother Jasmine. The stunning photos follow Stefanovic's 20-year-old posting that she was in Argentina in April. Last year, she was in France, and before that, she was travelling around South America. The celebrity offspring is living in London and studying at the respected London College of Fashion. For international students, the fees start at around $44,000. She's also embracing the limelight, signing on with Precision MGMT in 2021 to pursue a career as a model. At the time, she told Stellar that she's been 'drawn' to modelling since she was little and embarking on a career in fashion was a dream come true. 'Dad backs me 100 per cent as long as I'm happy. We all know I didn't get my fashionista gene from him,' she added. Meanwhile, her famous Dad almost backed her decision to enter the fame game claiming she knew what she was doing. 'She doesn't go into anything blindly, especially the fashion world. She's a strong, independent young woman and wants to pursue lots of things in life. We love her spirit,' he said.
