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 ☂️.”
