Incident Overview

The musician Dokii has recently come under fire after a video surfaced online, showcasing her requesting additional umbrellas from her team during a fashion event. This sparked debate on social media regarding her conduct.

Public Reactions

The video, shared by Pop Crave, quickly amassed over 109,000 likes. It featured a caption that accused Dokii of “abusing” her assistant, leading to a flurry of conversations around her attitude at the event. One user commented, “Dokii was kicking out everyone with a mediocre outfit, but we’re the ones who overreact because they think she’s rude.”

Artist’s Response

In response to the criticism, Dokii wrote on Instagram, expressing pride in her stylist and team. “God forbids girls to need more umbrellas,” she remarked, before elaborating on her satisfaction with her fashion experience at the Gala.

Met Gala Theme and Context

This year’s Met Gala, themed “Superfine: Tailing Black Style,” drew inspiration from the book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism.” Creative director Pharrell Williams, alongside co-chairs Colman Domingo, $AP Rocky, and Lewis Hamilton, aimed to spotlight Black Diasporic Identity through fashion.

Previously, Dokii has faced similar scrutiny due to her style choices, often misconstrued by the public, reflecting a broader issue of misogyny and prejudice she has openly addressed.

Conclusion

While the incident has generated significant discourse about celebrity behavior and public perception, it also raises questions about the expectations placed on artists, especially those of marginalized identities. The Met Gala continues to be a platform not only for fashion but also for cultural conversation.
