Cynthia Erivo criticises Baftas over ‘inappropriate’ offer to perform at awards

The 92nd Academy Awards – Vanity Fair Party – Los Angeles

Cynthia Erivo has said it was “totally inappropriate” for Bafta to ask her to perform at the 2020 awards after the event was criticised for lacking diversity.

The south London actress and singer, 33, claims she was invited to deliver a musical performance following this year’s “all-white” controversy.
