A$AP Rocky was definitely “wild for the night” ahead of his 2023 Met Gala appearance.
The “Fashion Killa” rapper took to Twitter Tuesday to issue an apology to a young woman named Maddy, whom he had trampled on to jump a barricade at New York City’s Carlyle Hotel prior to attending fashion’s biggest night.
“LOL MY FAULT $WEETHEART,” he tweeted in response to a selfie taken by the shocked fan shortly after the viral incident.
The Grammy nominee — who will soon welcome his second child with his girlfriend, Rihanna — then followed Maddy on Twitter, offering a digital olive branch.
The shocking moment went down hours before the Met Gala was scheduled to take place Monday as Maddy and several other fans waited for stars to show up in their designer threads.
A$AP Rocky apologized to a fan he trampled while jumping over a barricade.
“LOL MY FAULT $WEETHEART,” he tweeted Tuesday.
The rapper was caught on video using a woman’s face and shoulder to jump the steel fence at the Carlyle Hotel prior to the Met Gala.
Instead of walking into the ritzy hotel through the front entrance like the other celebrities, Rocky somehow found himself among the fans, outside the steel fence.

She also detailed what went down, tweeting that the hip-hop star “tapped my shoulder and was like ‘sweetheart i need to get through and i went ‘no’ and then he just shoved.”
