Music legend Cher is apologizing for a tweet about George Floyd that she's now calling not appropriate.

In the tweet, Cher speculated that she could have prevented George Floyd's death.

Cher said she was in Minneapolis at the time and that maybe if she had been there she could have helped.

The tweet was deleted after many accused her of having a "white savior" complex.
