Los Angeles, April 16 (NationPress) American rapper A$AP Rocky has once again expressed his regret for injuring a fan at the Met Gala. The incident occurred when the rapper accidentally struck the fan, damaging her eyeglasses.
The artist acknowledged the viral incident from that evening when he unintentionally facepalmed a fan, as reported by People magazine.
A$AP Rocky discussed this moment in an interview with Vogue, where he reflected on 21 fashion looks from his career, including his ensemble for the 2023 Met Gala. During this chat, he revisited the viral moment from that night. Just before the Met Gala, on May 1, 2023, the rapper was seen trying to navigate his way to the entrance of The Carlyle hotel but ended up surrounded by a crowd of fans.
According to People, he used the shoulder of a nearby onlooker to vault over the barrier established by the hotel, inadvertently knocking the woman's glasses in the process.
He explained to Vogue that he jumped the barricade because he was in a rush to get to his hotel room. “I was gonna be late for the Met Gala,” he clarified. “I was trying to get in my room, and this poor young lady, man, I didn't even realize that I had messed up her glasses. To whoever that young lady was, I apologize once more. I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to do that, sweetheart. My mistake.”
After the viral incident, the fan shared a selfie on Twitter, showcasing her oversized frames post-incident. “A$AP Rocky just literally jumped over me,” she tweeted. The rapper acknowledged her selfie by replying, “LOL MY FAULT $WEETHEART,” and subsequently followed her @youareasapmadz account. “I'm printing this on a t-shirt,” she humorously responded, adding, “Why is A$AP now oomf (one of my friends)?”
Following the incident, he and his girlfriend Rihanna attended the ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’ themed fashion event.
