Although it looked super fun and was filled with many celebrities including Cardi B, Winnie Harlow, Lena Waithe and more, some social media users became very concerned for their safety after photos of the party were posted online and showed a few guests without masks. Following a small wave of criticism, the soon-to-be mom of two decided to speak out to let everyone know that she had everything under control despite how unsafe the party may have looked.
Teyana initially spoke on IG saying, “For all the internet COVID experts 🙄😜 we had REAL COVID Police & medics that made sure we were all safe and able to have a good time all while following COVID regulations,” she wrote. “Custom ‘#TheAlbum’ Masks and hazmat suits were also provided!” While speaking with Angie Martinez, she went on to share how she properly prepared for her party.
“If you notice, we all had yellow suits. They were custom HAZMAT suits … custom masks, everything … It was hot. You know, as a pregnant woman, I can’t breathe in them things. You got to realize, if everybody got on masks, the photographers can’t get what they want … So the moment n***as take their masks off for five minutes, it’s flash, flash, flash, flash … So now it’s just looking like we don’t even have ’em on … as soon as we put them back on, now all the cameras is ghosts, ’cause it does nothing for the lenses.”
She noted that it was a 60-person party in a 15,000-feet house, enough space for people to social distance. She also said there were “COVID prevention people” at the event.
“Pretty much the ‘COVID police’ … You could not even walk in the house without putting on your HAZMAT suit and your mask,” Taylor said. “… We were extremely safe.”
