P Diddy lounges on the red carpet after he gets 'tired' at Met Gala
The US rapper, real name Sean John Combs, was pictured lounging on the steps outside New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
Diddy took a break from photographers as he treated himself to a quick rest while he let his girlfriend Cassie take centre stage.
Addressing his bizarre move on Twitter he posted: “I was getting tired so I laid down on the stairs!!! #METGALA.”
His lounging stance inspired a flurry of memes as fans compared him to Dracula and Aladdin on his magic carpet.
The theme of this year's Met Gala was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons.
Speaking about his choice of clothing, Diddy tweeted: “My outfit pays homage to #CommeDesGarcons as far as the fearlessness and getting out of the box!! That's what we represent!! #METGALA.”
Cassie looked stunning in a black feathered floor length gown.
The musician was later pictured in Kylie Jenner's epic bathroom selfie - despite Anna Wintour imposing a strict no selfie rule.
Diddy was seen smiling alongside Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Paris Jackson, Brie Larson, A$AP Rocky, Lily Aldridge, Frank Ocean and Michelle Monghan.
