A$AP RockyandRihanna’sentrance at the Met Galawas iconic, but it was quite a journey to get there — at least for the rapper, who found himself issuing a mea culpa on Tuesday.
Ahead of Monday’s event Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, was seen in a since-deleted viral video attempting to make his way to the entrance of The Carlyle, somehow finding himself behind a wall of fans instead.
“A$AP Rocky just literally jumped over me,” the fan, Maddy, shared on Twitter,posting a selfiewith her oversize frames after the incident.
The rapper took note of the selfie,replying, “LOL MY FAULT $WEETHEART” before following her @youareasapmadz account.
“I’m printing this on a t-shirt,” she joked back,adding, “Why is A$AP now oomf [one of my friends]?”
On his way back out of The Carlyle Monday night, Rocky took a more traditional route, escorting his expectant girlfriend, 35, out the front door and into their waiting car.
