Singer Adele Sparks Controversy Over Her Latest Picture
English singer and songwriterAdele is causing quite the stir on social media after she posted a picture of herself rocking Jamaican colors on Sunday.
The artist uploaded the picture in recognition of the Notting Hill Carnival which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and her new look has divided a lot of people.
On Sunday, August 30,Adele shared the Instagram post, lamenting the cancellation of the annual event celebrating Caribbean and Black communities in the U.S.
In the picture (presumably taken during last year’s celebration), the singer is wearing a bikini top with the Jamaican flag, black and white tye-dye leggings, and yellow wings.
She also has her hair in Bantu knots, a traditional African hairstyle.
Her appearance brought criticisms from many who feel she is not in a position to represent the Jamaican heritage of blacks for that matter. Others supported her, bashing critics and telling them they had no right to speak for Jamaicans.
