In the comments section, several users asked why he was banned. "Why would met gala ban the biggest influence in fashion at the moment????" one fan wrote. Others spoke on Carti's relationship with Ramos. "So what exactly is the relationship here," another asked.

Carti and Ramos haven't provided exact details on their relationship. They've been rumored to be dating for a number of months. While celebrating a Billboard Hot 100 record following the release of Music, he tagged Ramos on social media and wrote: “Ya ex could never.” The move further fueled speculation.

As who was in attendance at the Met Gala, there were numerous stars from the music industry. Andre 3000, Future, Megan Thee Stallion, ASAP Rocky, and several more hip-hop artists in particular made appearances.

Andre 3000 wore a piano on his back for Monday night’s event. The outlet referenced the surprise project he released on the same day. He announced the it in a post on Instagram. “These piano sketches are improvisations,” he wrote in the caption. “To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting. If it feels really good I will try to repeat it.”

He added: “Some of my favorite piano music composers and players that inspire me are Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Philip Glass, Stephen Sondheim, Joni Mitchell and Vince Guaraldi. These piano pieces weren’t recorded with the intention of presenting them in any formal way to the public. They were personal, at home recordings. I would sometimes text them to my family and friends.”
