Cousins! Cardi B is responding to social media users’ comments regarding a video clip of her while at this year’s Met Gala!
Within a circulated video clip, Cardi is asked by Emma Chamberlain for Vogue about the details of her dress. In response, Cardi referred to the designer as being Asian since she couldn’t remember their name.
“They’re Asian and everything.”
Emma followed up by asking “But do you feel amazing? Who made this?”
Cardi smiled and replied “I feel amazing. It’s this amazing designer. They’re Asian and everything. So yeah.”
The Bronx, New York native turned heads at this year’s Met Gala while wearing a, ‘billowing dress by Chinese label Windowsen that featured “nearly 3000 meters of organza” and represented garden soil, reports Page Six.
The dress was met with much awe as the tremendous design required a total of nine men to help Cardi up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
After the video began to pick up on views online, U.S Vogue representative Gilbert Cheah called out the Grammy award-winning rapper for failing to remember the designer’s name.
“For the record and recognition, and no thanks to Cardi B, the designer of her gown is Sensen Lii who’s Chinese. The gown took two months to make. I personally think it’s boring and not even on theme but she chose it and should have at least remembered his name and not just that he’s ‘Asian’ [eye roll emoji],” he wrote.
In response, Cardi defended her statement while noting that she is not racist and simply had a lot on her mind at the moment.
“I kind of forgot how to pronounce the designer’s name because his name is a little bit complicated… my mind was just racing,” she recalled.
“I feel like the designer and my stylist worked really hard for this theme, so for you to be kind of shady because she feel offended or whatever, it just proves why you’re the former director. You’re trying to offend me but you’re actually offending the people behind-the-scenes.”
