The Controversy
A$AP Rocky apologized to the woman whose face he leaned on to navigate through a large crowd and jump through a barricade in New York City, in order to attend the Met Gala.
On Monday evening, a chaotic scene unfolded outside the swanky Carlyle Hotel in New York City. A$AP Rocky found himself engulfed in a sea of fans and autograph seekers, who initially failed to recognize the Harlem rap star. However, the situation quickly changed when he leaped over a nearby barrier. To pull off this impressive feat, he ingeniously utilized a woman’s shoulder to give him the necessary lift. The incident caused quite a stir and has become a topic of conversation among fans on Twitter.

Following the incident, the woman whose shoulder A$AP Rocky used as a boost was identified as Madelyn Llanes, a Long Island native. In an interview, she revealed that she initially declined Rocky’s request to pass through because she was standing at the barricade, which she considered to be the end of the line. However, she eventually relented and allowed him to use her shoulder and face as a stepping-stone to make his way to the Met Gala.
Undoubtedly, A$AP Rocky was resourceful in finding a way to circumvent the crowd, and what followed was an unforgettable experience for Madelyn Llanes, who unwittingly became a part of fan history.
