The north London singer posted a cheeky Jamaican greeting on Instagram, appearing to poke fun at the situation, writing: “Wah Gwaan! Yow gyal, yuh look good enuh.”
It comes after a picture led to a barrage of claims of cultural appropriation after she appeared clad in a Jamaican flag bikini top, feathers adorning her shoulders, gold chains around her neck and wrists and with her hair curled into tight knots.
Adele, Carnival-ready.
“Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London,” she captioned the pic, a nod to London’s huge annual carnival led by members of the British West Indian community, which has been cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But the 32-year-old star’s choice of attire — and especially a Bantu knot hairstyle usually worn by women of African descent — copped a roasting online, amid accusations of cultural appropriation:
If 2020 couldn't get anymore bizarre, Adele is giving us Bantu knots and cultural appropriation that nobody asked for. This officially marks all of the top white women in pop as problematic. Hate to see it. pic.twitter.com/N9CqPqh7GX— Ernest Owens (@MrErnestOwens) August 30, 2020
