Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out to clear the air on recent rumors that she was banned from the 2025 Met Gala. The internet was buzzing after she shared videos from inside the event, which is famously strict about its no-phone policy. But according to Meg, there is no ban, and she’s still on good terms with the people behind the gala — especially Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour.
What Sparked the Rumors?
The buzz began after Megan attended the 2025 Met Gala on May 5. The event’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and Megan did not disappoint. Dressed in a show-stopping silver gown by Michael Kors and wrapped in a white fur coat, she turned heads on the red carpet and was one of the most talked-about attendees of the night.
Inside the venue, Megan recorded several clips on her phone, capturing moments at her table with WNBA star Angel Reese, rapper Doechii, and others. She also gave fans a peek at the dinner menu, which included cornbread, vegan lox, caviar, and truffle lobster rolls. In one video, she joked, “We’re not supposed to have our phones, but we’re doing it.”
This seemingly harmless clip sparked online rumors that she had broken Met Gala rules and was subsequently banned from future events. Fans speculated that the strict policies around the gala — including the long-standing phone ban — might have led to her blacklisting.
Megan Shuts Down the Gossip
To stop the rumors in their tracks, Megan addressed the situation directly in an interview with People magazine. With her signature confidence and charm, she put the speculation to rest.
“We’re gonna dead these rumors right now, OK?” Megan said. “People are like, ‘Oh my God, Megan, you got banned from the Met Gala.’ No, I didn’t, babe. That’s not true. Y’all made that up and ran with it. Anna [Wintour] loves me, babe. That’s why my phone was out.”
Megan reiterated that she gets on well with Anna Wintour and hasn’t been punished at all for her use of the phone. What she said made it evident: no drama at all behind the scenes, all laughter and love.
Style, Star Power, and Social Media Moments
Even aside from the rumors, Megan’s appearance at the Met Gala was a highlight. Her outfit was sophisticated, daring, and spot-on for the theme. She socialized with high-profile celebrities such as Ciara, Serena Williams, and Lupita Nyong’o, having a night of fashion, culture, and celebration.
While technically against Met Gala policy, celebrities tend to test the limits, and Megan’s posts provided her fans with a thrilling behind-the-scenes glimpse. While it may have caused a buzz on the internet, it also reminded us all why Megan is so well-liked: she’s cool, genuine, and doesn’t hesitate to be herself.
Beyond the Met: What’s Next for Megan?
Apart from fashion, Megan Thee Stallion has much to do. She is working on her third studio album, Act: III. Recently, she revealed in a TikTok livestream that she’s looking into collaborating with rapper Doechii. “I love Doechii,” she mentioned. “That’s on my album wish list.
But Megan’s vision extends beyond music. She’s getting set for the inaugural gala for her Pete & Thomas Foundation, which bears the name of her deceased parents. The foundation targets education, housing, and healthcare services for underprivileged communities. The event will celebrate community leaders and raise money for these initiatives.
On the business side of things, Megan is also launching a Popeyes franchise in her hometown of Houston. Her business endeavors demonstrate that she’s developing a brand well beyond the stage.
Conclusion
Social media gossip can spread like wildfire, but Megan Thee Stallion wasn’t having it. She promptly dispelled the rumor and reminded fans that she’s still invited to the Met Gala — phone clips and all. Whether it’s about music, fashion, philanthropy, or business, Megan is showing she’s a multi-talented force to be reckoned with no signs of abating. And for everyone wondering: yes, she’ll return next year — probably with even more glitz, attitude, and potentially another legendary phone clip.
