Black Panther's actress, Black Panther, also disclosed that she DMed DeBose in the wake of the viral moment "Angela Bassett did it the thing" at the BAFTAS. Jamie Lee Curtis vigorously supported Ariana.
Ariana DeBose is still making headlines because of her rap at this month's 2023 BAFTA Film Awards -- and also poking fun at them.
DeBose was back on the SAG Awards stage Sunday night. This was her first appearance on-camera since "West Side Story"'s star became viral. She performed a number honoring the BAFTAs female nominees. In which she famously stated, "Angela Bassett did it."
She was joined by Diego Luna last night to present Outstanding Performance of a Female Actor In a Drama Series. DeBose laughed before the "Andor” star introduced the category.
As the camera showed Bassett, everyone in the audience started to laugh. She was then seen smiling and laughing before giving DeBose a kiss on the stage.
Bassett said that she had already contacted DeBose after becoming viral to inquire about her before the SAG Awards.
"I DM'd her last night. It was. It was beautiful," Bassett said to Variety on Saturday at the NAACP Image Awards. "I wanted to ensure she was OK because it's a lot attention. She is fine."
After she was named Entertainer of Year, DeBose was quoted by her at the event. She said, "I guess Angela Bassett did it!" She was elated when she received her award.
Jamie Lee Curtis was another person in DeBose’s corner, and was also named-checked in rap.
When Curtis was asked about Saturday's performance at the 2023 Producers Guild Awards, Curtis said that she wasn't sure what the f---people were talking about. "It was joyful, celebratory and sisterly. It was hot, spicy, and it was so inspiring.
After blaming DeBose and the camera operators for the cutaways, she sent a message out to all the trolls.
"She is an amazing talent. These people should back off and let her shine her light, she is phenomenal." She is amazing."
