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.'

Blake Lively issues statement after ‘defeat' of Justin Baldoni defamation lawsuit
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.

Picture of handwritten note sparks major Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce rumour
Travis Kelce's NFL pal may have inadvertently let it slip that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift are secretly married. Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet's event planner, Ellie Nottoli, shared details on his Saturday wedding to Emily Jarosz, revealing that Kelce and Swift were on the guest list, reports Page Six. The planner revealed the 'personalised touches' at the ceremony, including a letter that was addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' in elegantly calligraphy, with a 'Table 13' assignment. 'We all know Taylor and Travis were at a different wedding in Tennessee,' Nottoli said in an Instagram Story video on Monday. 'But each guest had an envelope that was adhered to a beautiful backdrop, and Emily wrote love notes to all of her guests.' The letter reveal sent several fans into a frenzy over the possibility that Swift and Kelce had already said 'I do.' 'TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE?!????? EXUSE [sic] ME,' one person gushed. However, not everyone was convinced. 'This is very common for couples (married and unmarried) for weddings. it's the aesthetic,' another person wrote. 'Me and my bf do that too on gifts and stuff even though we aren't married, it's just kinda for the aesthetic of it,' a third chimed in. Meanwhile, a fourth quibbled, 'technically it should be Travis and Taylor Kelce.' As it turns out, the NFL star and his pop-star girlfriend weren't even at Kmet's wedding, which took place on Saturday. The duo instead hit up Kelce's cousin Tanner Corum's wedding on Friday in Knoxville, Tennessee. Corum exchanged vows with Samantha Peck during the countryside wedding. Social media pics of the famous couple showed the singer, 35, sporting a blue floral strapless dress from Markarian for the occasion, with Kelce, also 35, donning a laid back quarter-sleeved shirt and slacks. The marriage speculation comes two weeks after a source dropped hints as to when Kelce might pop the question to the songstress. 'Once he is done playing [football], the conversation will be front and centre,' an insider told the Daily Mail in May — referring to Kelce's upcoming return for another NFL season with the Chiefs. 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say 'yes,' and they can't wait for them to get engaged,' they continued. 'Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 per cent happen.'
