By Oluwatoyin Adeleye

So a photo of a Nigerian man with rappers (who people thought were feuding), Cardi B and Nicki Minaj at the 2018 Met Gala has been causing a stir on social media since it surfaced.

The young man, identified as Terry, was dressed in an exquisite Yoruba outfit, called Agbada, complete with a cap.

Terry has come out to explain how that moment came about and he said he knew that moment was going to make history.

I had a great time at the Met Gala 2018. Seeing the young queens, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, connect made me feel good. Hiphop culture has so much influence on the world, and I believe giving big platforms to more than just 1 or 2 women in hiphop can only help shatter glass ceilings for the next generations of women in any industry. Hopefully we can see more of this. New Yoooork! 👑 #GOD #GOD1st #Jesus #Bible #Believe #NickiMinaj #CardiB #MetGala #MetGala2018
