Rap sensation, Cardi B, recently turned heads with her outfit at Met Gala 2024. She left no stone unturned to look the best at the world's biggest fashion extravaganza. However, she faced a severe backlash for her comment on her designer, Sensen Lii. As per TMZ, Cardi B's red carpet interview with Vogue, sparked controversy and criticism, for addressing her designer as 'Asian' instead of taking his name. She has now defended her remark. Read on to know what she has said.

In an interview with Vogue, while speaking about the designer (who is of Chinese descent) of her gorgeous black gown, she mentioned the designer's ethnicity, saying, "Asian and everything." This irked a section of people who called her remark ''insensitive''.

This not only didn바카라�t go down well with netizens but also with Vogue바카라�s former managing director Gilbert Cheah, who called out the 'I Like It' singer for her remark. Cheah, who is Peranakan (mixed Chinese and Malay/Indonesian heritage) wrote on Instagram, 바카라�For the record and recognition, and no thanks to Cardi B, the designer of her gown is Sensen Lii who바카라�s Chinese. The gown took two months to make. I personally think it바카라�s boring and not even on theme but she chose it and should have at least remembered his name and not just that he바카라�s 바카라�Asian'''.

Cardi B, taking to her Instagram Story explained the reason behind not taking the name of the designer. She wrote, 바카라�First and first, when I was on the red carpet, I was very scared,바카라� and added, 바카라�The dress was supposed to be on a little podium, and I바카라�ve been practicing how to pose on the podium. But on the carpet, I wasn바카라�t allowed to use the podium. So I had a lot of things in my mind, and I was being rushed to the front of the line.바카라�

The 31-year-old further said that she 바카라�forgot to pronounce바카라� the designer바카라�s name because it was 바카라�a little bit complicated''. She added, 바카라�I was like, 바카라�Damn.바카라� How do I pronounce his name? My mind was just racing. I didn바카라�t want to be offensive. I said 바카라�Asian designer바카라� because I knew the designer was Asian, but I wasn바카라�t sure what nationality the designer was''.

On the trolls, she received, Cardi said, 바카라�You바카라�re trying to offend me, but you바카라�re actually offending the people behind the scenes.바카라� She later thanked her designer on yet another Instagram Story as she wrote, 바카라�I have to give another thank you to Windowsen by Sensen Lii!!! I chose you because of your amazing talent and you came through really making this Met Gala a night to remember''.
