Some of the biggest names in music turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala in New York on Monday (May 6), including Future, André 3000, A$AP Rocky, and Cardi B, who all embraced this year’s theme with standout looks. But while hip-hop heavyweights were out in full force, one rapper’s absence didn’t go unnoticed: Playboi Carti.
Carti broke his silence on Instagram, offering a cryptic — yet fiery — explanation for skipping fashion’s biggest night. “MET GALA BANNED ME FELT LIKE WE GOT KICKED OUT OF PROM BUT WE GOOD @ft.gioo WITH ME IM A HAPPY MAN F*** EM," he wrote in a now-viral post. His comments quickly sparked speculation online, with fans wondering what led to the alleged ban.
Adding more intrigue, Carti used the moment to stoke rumors about his relationship with influencer Giovanna Ramos. In his post, he posed alongside Ramos in several cozy photos, signaling that he’s unbothered by the Met snub. The pair have been fueling dating rumors for weeks, especially after Carti celebrated a recent Billboard Hot 100 milestone and tagged Ramos on social media, writing, “Ya ex could never.”
As the Met Gala buzz continues, Carti’s absence — and his pointed message — has only added more fuel to the ongoing conversation about his personal life and place in the fashion world. So far, the Met Gala organizers have not responded to Carti’s claims.
