Some musicians and celebrities flocked to the 2022 Met Gala, showcasing their interpretations of “Gilded Glamor.” That includes the Happier Than Ever artist, Eilish, who appeared in custom, “eco-friendly” Gucci.

Cardi B also attended the event dressed in custom gold Atelier Versace. Although there were rumors of drama between these performers, Cardi B quickly squashed all rumors with a Twitter post. 

Billie Eilish appeared saying ‘so weird’ at a Met Gala afterparty 

Several celebrities headed to The Standard in New York City for a Met Gala afterparty. Cardi B gave a speech, surrounded by fans with phones. One attendee even captured Eilish mouthing the words “so weird,” which some interpreted to be about the rapper. Shortly after, Cardi B took to social media, confirming there was no beef between the artists.

“I hate the internet because one, how do y’all turn one of the most lit parties into drama?” Cardi B captioned the tweet. “Two, ‘Ocean Eyes’ is the song I cater to my daughter. Three, Billie is my f*****’ baby. Yesterday from the Met to the party, everything was drama-free. Why do y’all wanna turn everything into mess?”

The tweet earned several thousand likes from fans. Cardi B also posted a voice message from Eilish, in which Eilish commented on the video clip and the real reason she said “so weird.”

“Oh my God, I was so worried you were gonna see that. I was f****** calling the people around you weird because everyone was f***ing coming around shoving their phones into your a**,” Eilish said. “I was like, ‘Just look at her with your eyes!'”

It’s unclear how often these artists actually see each other outside of events. Both attended and performed at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
