Music icon Cher has been forced to apologise after tweeting that she "could have helped" George Floyd, prompting followers to accuse her of having a "white saviour complex".
The 74-year-old singer came under fire after she tweeted her thoughts following the start of the trial of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who planted his knee on Floyd's neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds in May last year.
