Megan Thee Stallion defied the Met Gala’s strict no-phone policy by sneaking her phone into the exclusive 2025 event, and fans are loving the rare glimpse behind the velvet rope.
The 30-year-old rapper shared a video montage from inside New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art during fashion’s biggest night. Despite the Met Gala’s longstanding ban on mobile phones and social media use inside the venue, Megan captured candid moments with celebrities including Serena Williams, Cynthia Erivo, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Ciara, breaking one of the event’s most iconic rules.
The video, posted on Instagram and entitled “Hottie Cam in thee MET GALA,” begins with Megan, fellow rapper Doechii, and WNBA star Angel Reese sampling hors d’oeuvres such as cornbread and caviar, white truffle lobster rolls, and vegan lox while giving off-the-cuff reviews. Between giggles, Megan can be heard whispering, “We’re not supposed to have our phones,” followed by “I snuck my phone in.”

Fans flooded the comments with praise for the “Savage” rapper’s rebellious move. One user wrote, “Thank you for this forbidden footage sis,” while another joked, “Here before Anna [Wintour] makes you delete this.” Others applauded her Aquarian energy, saying it was “so on brand” for the trailblazing performer.
Despite the potential risk of violating the Met Gala’s phone-free code, enforced to preserve the mystique and exclusivity of the annual fashion celebration, Megan’s unsanctioned footage has only strengthened her bond with fans who crave real, unfiltered access.
Her behind-the-scenes content has now gone viral, adding yet another headline-making moment to her growing list of rule-breaking.
