Adele has been in the news a lot recently, getting plenty of attention for her dramatic weight loss. However, the singer is now getting noticed for something else entirely.
The 32-year-old has recently come under fire for a controversial Instagram post. In the photo, the “Hello” singer’s hair is styled in Bantu knots. She’s also wearing a yellow headdress and a bikini with the Jamaican flag on it.
She captioned the post, “Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London.”
Adele might have had good intentions with her picture, but it did not land well with her followers with many accusing the singer of cultural appropriation.

What do you think?
One critic tweeted, "I mean. She looks like she already knew she messed up."
Ernest Owens, award-winning journalist and CEO of Ernest Media Empire, wrote, "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."
However, not everyone was offended by her post with many fans coming to her defense.
One wrote, "Dear Black Americans, y’all are not the the spokesmen for the black race, ethnically, Adele outfit and hairstyle is none of your business...pay attention to the s*** y’all got going on in the US."
Adele's celebrity friends also did not seem bothered by her controversial post.
Lisa Rinna wrote, "You just broke that internet Henny."
Naomi Campbell commented a series of black hearts and the Jamaican flags.
Zoe Saldana also commented, writing "You look right at home guurrrl."
Despite the controversy, Adele has not deleted the post or responded to any of the critics.
