Playboi Carti Says He Was Banned From the Met Gala

Playboi Carti has claimed he was banned from the 2025 Met Gala, likening the experience to being "kicked out of prom." In an Instagram post, Carti shared photos of himself and rumored girlfriend Giovanna Ramos, both dressed in Chrome Hearts attire, 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"

The Met Gala, organized by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, has not publicly addressed Carti's claim. Notably, Carti's longtime friend A$AP Rocky served as a co-chair for this year's event, adding intrigue to the situation.‍

Some fans have speculated that Carti's alleged ban might be related to the Met Gala's strict no-smoking policy, as photos from his Instagram post show him and Ramos smoking indoors. In 2019, model Luka Sabbat was reportedly banned from the event after violating similar rules.

Despite the controversy, Carti appeared unfazed, emphasizing his happiness with Ramos and sharing their fashion-forward looks online. The couple's appearance and Carti's bold claim have sparked discussions about exclusivity and rebellion within high-fashion circles.
