DiCaprio's Stare Made Singer Nervous at BAFTAs
13 Aug
Summary
- Singer Ejae felt nervous performing for Leonardo DiCaprio at the BAFTAs.
- DiCaprio's presence caused Ejae to make performance errors.
- Beyoncé praised Ejae's voice and her daughter Rumi sings her song.

Singer Ejae recently shared that her performance at the BAFTAs was significantly impacted by the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio in the audience. She admitted that locking eyes with the actor caused her to become so nervous that she made mistakes, including cracking on high notes during her rendition of 'Golden.' Ejae described the experience as 'haunting.'
In contrast to the BAFTA incident, Ejae found performing at the Brit Awards to be a much more positive experience, attributing it to the enthusiastic support of her fans. She also recounted a memorable encounter at an afterparty where Jay-Z introduced himself, followed by an interaction with Beyoncé, who praised Ejae's voice and revealed her daughter, Rumi, sings Ejae's song 'Golden.'
Furthermore, Ejae reflected on her role as an inspiration, particularly for young Asian fans. She shared an anecdote about a mother who told her daughter now idolizes Ejae because of her role in 'KPop Demon Hunters,' a significant shift from previously idolizing Western pop stars. This realization underscored Ejae's impact as a role model.
