Anxiety, keeps on trying her.
Doechii had a diva moment ahead of her Met Gala debut on Monday, snapping at her team when they failed to properly conceal her ensemble.
According to a video posted on TikTok Monday, the “Anxiety” rapper, 26, rushed to hide her look while inside The Mark Hotel, where many of the stars get ready before fashion’s biggest night.
However, when photographers in the lobby started flashing their cameras to take pics, she frustratingly and quickly turned around to have her security guards and members of her staff try and cover her.
The team then came up with the idea to hide her inside of a white wardrobe screen and wheel her out.
While inside of the contraption, Doechii — whose real name is Jaylah Ji’mya Hickmon — could be heard shouting, “Give me another umbrella — now! … I need more f–king umbrellas.”
The “Alter Ego” rapper then told a member of her staff, “Move these umbrellas. I don’t want these people f–king seeing me.”
As they began to roll her out of the lobby, bodyguards shouted at bystanders clear a path.
Doechii was then overheard sternly telling staffers in a video People posted, “Hold the umbrellas there.”
Once outside of The Mark Hotel, the madness continued, as the “Denial is a River” rapper tried to make her way into her sprinter van without fans or paparazzi outside getting a sneak peek.
“Move the umbrella … Get closer! Get closer,” she shouted at her team, per a third video seen by Page Six.
“Are you blocking it?” she added, prompting a stressed out staffer to sternly reply, “Yes!” They all then repeatedly reassure her that she is blocked.
Page Six has reached out to Doechii’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
It’s unclear why the “What It Is” rapper was so concerned with trying to hide her outfit since many other big stars, including Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Nicki Minaj, all openly departed the hotel.
Doechii eventually hit the Met Gala red carpet, though, to showcase her coat and matching trouser shorts designed by Pharrell and Louis Vuitton for the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme.
“I’m a little nervous,” the Grammy winner then confessed in an interview with Ego Nwodim and Teyana Taylo for Vogue. “But it feels really good. This is one of the biggest nights in fashion and for it to be so black, I’m present, I’m here.”
