I mean, for it to be genuine cultural appropriation,  she'd have to  remove it from its original context of the Notting Hill Carnival  and repurpose it for her own benefit.

vvvvv love this non-problematic quee

Like Vonc said, I think the greater issue is that she looks a fool. I feel like there would be little outrage if she was slaying.

But whites are perched at these festivals for filth. I also feel like the hypersensitive mess is more of a North American thing, like Jayda or someone said. We seem more pissed than them. :dead:

Yeah I'm seeing a lot of them in various comments saying they don't mind. Welp.

Im Jamaican, born and raised, and I love it. And all the Jamaicans are diggin it, creating a bunch of memes and shit over it. Jamaicans actually love when other cultures embrace it.

Maybe its cause the JA culture isnt at a ment / cancel stage as yet. I mean, how Adele is dressed here isnt different from what white artists like Fergie, Christina and Gwen Stefani was doing during their prime 15 yrs ago.

Makes sense. If y'all like it, don't think others should put a lot of energy into it.

"It's crazy how West Indians embrace non blacks, but when black Americans embrace the culture, y'all have a heart attack"

Saw this in the Shaderoom comments. Would y'all agree?

Not at all. Just another North American tryna start issues where there are none.When have we ever had a "heart attack" when other non Jamaican artists put out reggae influenced music?  :uhh:

I think Africans view black Americans as lazy and very entitled. Think of the Wendy and Ashley conflict on RHOP.

It's not cultural appropriation it's a fucking carnival costume and it's Caribbean thing Jesus Christ I cannot stand the fake "woke" cunts  :disgusted: but yea she looks like Katy as someone mentioned in that pic!

so i guess it's ignorance just like the wendy/ashley mess. i mean not all africans act like that but i've definitely seen the sentiment more than once. how sad for them

If I looked like OG or Wendy I'd probably be pissed too and hide behind degrees, so I honestly don't take it personal.

This is unfortunate. I happen to really enjoy Adele she's one of the greatest voices of our generation.
