A$AP Rocky and Rihanna may have been fashionably late to the 2023 Met Gala, but the soon-to-be father of two didn’t hesitate to make waves in a big way in the hours ahead of the event. While apparently on his way to get ready for his night out with the Bad Gal, the Testing rapper walked through a crowd waiting in a queue with his hood up and sunglasses on in hopes of maintaining some degree of anonymity. As he neared the end of the lineup, Rocky braced himself to jump over the waist-high gate, unfortunately using the face of a woman beside him as leverage.
In a video taken of the incident, she’s obviously angered by the confusing interaction, especially considering she’s wearing glasses that easily could’ve broken her nose, or themselves. Once A$AP turns around to reveal his identity, however, her body language immediately changes to utter shock when she realizes which famous rapper just had his millionaire hands on her face. As the footage continues to circulate online, many have been laughing at the New Yorker’s antics, while others are encouraging the woman to take legal action against him.

After taking a minute to recover, the woman – who’s now been identified as @youareasapmadz on Twitter – posted about the major moment online. “A$AP ROCKY JUST USED ME TO JUMP OVER THE BARRICADE HELLO,” her first post on Monday (May 1) night reads. “A$AP Rocky just literally jumped over me,” Maddy wrote in another one, this time including a selfie so people might recognize her from the viral video.
Elsewhere on her profile, the “victim” made it abundantly clear that she has no plans to take legal action against the entertainer. “Stop asking if I’m suing A$AP,” she begged curious users. “Literally how would I do that?” Maddy asked, pointing out that she doesn’t have much of a case as she doesn’t seem to have sustained any injuries.
