The 2024 Met Gala recently took place and things quickly got messy. Paparazzi were caught making offensive comments towards Stray Kids while they were posing for photos, but that isn’t the only act of racism to come out of the event this year.
Cardi B is under fire for a comment she said concerning Asians during her interview with Vogue.
When asked about the designer of her dress, Cardi B referred to them as “Asian and everything” possibly because she forgot the designer’s name.
I feel amazing. This is an amazing designer. They’re Asian and everything, so yeah.

She received criticism on social media for not only referring to the designer in a “mannerless” and potentially “racist” way, but also for failing to properly promote and credit the designer during such a big event in the fashion world.
celebrities are so evil because imagine someone spending 3 months to make you a dress and you can’t even remember their name https://t.co/TNzLSJoeCV

Cardi B was wearing WINDOWSEN by @sensenlii, a Chinese designer.
Korean netizens had mixed opinions on the issue. Some believe that because Cardi B often shows her love for Asian culture, it was a mistake and she didn’t mean any harm. However, others believe that it’s a careless excuse for thoughtless behavior.
Since then, Cardi B has posted her love for the designer on Instagram.
