Rapper Cardi B faced scrutiny following her appearance at the Met Gala, drawing criticism for her reference to her designer simply as “Asian” instead of using his name. The controversy ignited after an interview with The Hollywood Reporter surfaced, where Cardi B, donning a striking black gown, was questioned about the mastermind behind her elaborate ensemble.
Social media platforms buzzed with reactions as users questioned her apparent disregard for the designer, Sensen Lii. While Cardi B expressed admiration for the dress, her inability to recall the designer’s name sparked speculation and backlash.
Taking to Instagram Story, Cardi B addressed the controversy, shedding light on the circumstances that led to her memory lapse. She attributed her forgetfulness to nerves and the rush of the red carpet moment, clarifying that she referred to the designer as “Asian” because she remembered his ethnicity but couldn’t recall his nationality.
Emphasizing the dedication of her designer and stylist, Cardi B defended herself against the criticism. Unapologetic, she dismissed concerns that her forgetfulness might impact her future invitations to the prestigious event, asserting her identity confidently with, “Baby, I’m Cardi B.”
