Cardi B responds to criticism over forgetting designer’s name at Met Gala

 



Cardi B is speaking up after forgetting the name of Sensen Lii, the Chinese designer responsible for her stunning black tulle gown at the 2024 Met Gala.    On the red carpet, when Vogue's Emma Chamberlain asked who designed the striking outfit, Cardi hesitated and said, "They’re Asian and everything," not recalling his name at that moment. Courtesy: Vogue on YouTube Her comments drew criticism online for being racially insensitive, including from Gilbert Cheah, Vogue's former managing director.   He called out the rapper on Instagram, writing, "For the record and recognition, and no thanks to Cardi B, the designer of her gown is Sensen Lii who’s Chinese. The gown took two months to make. I personally think it’s boring and not even on theme but she chose it and should have at least remembered his name and not just that he’s ‘Asian.’"   Cardi B responded on Instagram, explaining she "had a lot of things on" her mind and was "very scared" due to being rushed to the front of the Met Gala line. "I kind of forgot how to pronounce the designer’s name because his name is a little bit complicated… my mind was just racing," she clarified.    She emphasized she didn’t intend to be offensive and defended the hard work behind the gown. "I feel like the designer and my stylist worked really hard for this theme, so for you to be kind of shady because she feels offended or whatever, it just proves why you’re the former director. You’re trying to offend me but you’re actually offending the people behind-the-scenes."
