On May 6, Playboi Carti shared an Instagram post on his handle @opium_00pium, with the caption:

"MET GALA BANNED ME FELT LIKE WE GOT KICKED OUT OF PROM BUT WE GOOD @ft.gioo WITH ME IM A HAPPY MAN F*CK EM"

In the post, Carti was seen in Chrome Hearts, and with Giovanna Ramos, an internet personality and model. In different photos, the pair was seen smoking in a room and running down a hallway.

The reason for Playboi Carti's alleged Met Gala ban is not confirmed yet, as neither Met Gala, nor the event's organizer and Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, has given a statement on the same. Per speculations, smoking can be one of the reasons behind the ban, as the Met Gala has a strict no-smoking policy and attendees are also asked not to bring their phones during the event.

A similar incident occurred in 2019 when Luka Sabbat, a French-American actor and model, uploaded a bathroom mirror selfie while smoking a cigarette. The image was taken at the venue and broke both the rules, which led to his ban from the Met Gala.

When fans asked Luka on Met Gala day if he was still banned from the event, the actor replied:

"Yes I’m still banned from the met lol"

Many fans now think Carti was banned for the same reason since he was seen smoking in the photos. Amidst this, others were curious about the relationship between Carti and Giovanna Ramos, as the pair seemed to have a good time anyway.
