‘Gay Twitter seem to like it’: Ariana DeBose speaks on Bafta rap criticism for first time

Ariana DeBose has addressed the critical feedback of her empowering Bafta rap for the first time with BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball.

The actress performed a rap about the inspiring women who had been nominated, but the response was less-than-impressive.

"You know what, you might be one of the few [who loved the performance]," she laughed, adding that 'gay Twitter' loved it.

"But that was the assignment. Like, 'Come celebrate women,' and I was like, 'Absolutely!' We did that and it was fun. Not gonna lie. I had a blast."
