“She even tried to defend herself...”: Fans poke fun as Doechii shuts down accusations of being rude to her team at the Met Gala

The Met Gala never lacks for iconic moments, avant-garde fashion moments, and a sprinkle of drama or two. This year, rapper and newcomer Doechii had fans talking about her risqué outfit, but it's not the dress that's got people in an uproar, but a now-viral video that has fans calling her out for purportedly treating her team poorly.

Doechii found herself at the center of controversy. A behind-the-scenes video surfaced online of her addressing her team, and a lot of people didn't like what they saw. Fans were quick to find her tone dismissive, and a heated discussion raged on social media.

Doechii's Met Gala Clip Sparks Backlash

The video in question shows Doechii in the middle of prep, assumedly in the chaos of prepping for the Met. Nerves always get frayed prior to a huge event like that, but the way she addressed one of her team members didn't sit well with viewers. Most felt she sounded rude and ungrateful, especially to the very individuals who were trying to get her to shine.

After the clip blew up, Doechii addressed it, which fans were not happy about either. Rather than just apologizing, she attempted to explain herself. However, to most, the response seemed more like deflection than taking responsibility.

The internet moves fast, and when it comes to celebrities, even a few seconds of questionable behavior can snowball into a PR nightmare. In this case, the combination of the high-profile event, Doechii’s rising fame, and the raw, unfiltered nature of the clip made it easy for people to latch onto.

Plus, this wasn't just a one-time comment or facial expression it looked like a full moment of tension caught on camera. And in the age of hyper-analyzed celebrity behavior, that’s more than enough fuel for a Twitter firestorm.

One user summed up the general mood with a deadpan burn:

“She even tried to defend herself instead of apologizing 💀”

Another person didn’t hold back, joking:

“Lemme burn my vinyl rq.”

It seems some fans were genuinely hurt, not just entertained by the drama. One comment that made the rounds said:

“Her not even taking any accountability is so sad. This is so disappointing.”

And if that wasn’t enough, the tone of her response rubbed even more people the wrong way. One user pointed out:

"‘Responds’ and she’s making a complete mockery out of it.”

A comment that cut straight to the core of it all:

“So she admits to being sh**ty for no reason…”

It wasn’t just the usual internet overreaction. This time, even longtime fans were questioning their support and their playlists.

It’s never fun watching your fave land in hot water, but accountability matters especially when you’ve got a platform as big as the Met Gala stage. Whether Doechii will address things more sincerely or let it blow over remains to be seen.

One thing’s clear: the internet doesn’t forget, especially when it comes with a side of sass and no apology.
