We all know that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky absolutely stole the show when they closed down the carpet at the 2023 Met Gala last night.

And while they walked the white carpet hand-in-hand, it’s clear all eyes were exclusively on Rihanna.

In fact, in videos from the evening, almost all the reporters and photographers were yelling Ri’s name, vying for her attention.

 

Meanwhile, no one was really calling for A$AP…so one reporter decided to change that.

In a video from the top of the Met’s iconic staircase, one reporter can be heard yelling A$AP’s name — and his face immediately lights up.

“No one was calling your name so I had to do it for you boo!” the reporter yelled.

When A$AP asked the woman to repeat herself, she added, “I had to call your name! I kept hearing, ‘Rihanna, Rihanna!’ I was like, ‘A$AP!’”

The interaction actually caught Rihanna’s attention, too, even though she had previously been ignoring most of the media.
