Now look, I love Adele. Who doesn't love Adele? She is smart and talented and was unproblematic — until now!!!
Adele has literally never come under fire for a decision she's made until she posted a very controversial Instagram pic in honor of the canceled Notting Hill Carnival.
Needless to say, the fans are shocked and confused and the jokes just keeeeep rolling in.
Where would modern music be without the creative brilliance that was "Rolling in the Deep" or "Hello"?? I don't even want to think about it, TBH!
She looks healthy and happy, and that's all fans ever want for their beloved songstress!
While paying tribute to Beyoncé and the musical genius that is "Black Is King," Adele totally left fans speechless with her goddess-like wavy hair and makeup-free face!
Posting a throwback pic from the 2019 Notting Hill Carnival in London, the 32-year-old is seen sporting a Jamaican flag bikini top and Bantu knots in her hair.
The first Notting Hill Carnival took place in 1966 and has been a cultural institution ever since, and one Adele certainly seems to be fond of.
Fans and friends alike are weighing in on the pic and so far, Adele's famous friends are LOVING THE LEWK!
"You just broke the internet Henny," commented Lisa Rinna.
"You look right at home guurrrl," agreed Zoe Saldana.
"Not her own. This was a self absorbed and tone deaf move."
"Why are you normalizing cultural appropriation on such a massive platform? So disappointed to see this, especially with everything that’s going on. I strongly advise you to educate yourself and check your white privilege. And to clarify what I’m referring to, it’s the appropriation of a hairstyle which does not belong to white people. It is not yours to wear."
"Caribbean people are the most unproblematic and woke people of them all. Secure in their rich culture and aren’t threatened by anyone who wants to simply show their love for it. Amazing people. Let’s all take a leaf out of their book shall we," commented Instagram user @jessy_slavinka.
"Isn’t it funny that true Jamaicans are cheering her on, while the ones who aren’t even from Jamaica are tearing her down," echoed @anna.noonann.
What do you think of Adele's pic? Cultural appropriation or cultural appreciation?
