Adele addresses cultural appropriation scandal for the first time: 'I didn’t read the f–king room'
Fox News
Adele finally addressed the accusations of cultural appropriation she received in 2020 during her first sit down interview since 2016. The star admitted she "totally" understands why her look at the Notting Hill Carnival drew backlash.
Unfortunately, the long-awaited update was overshadowed by her … um, enthusiasm for the festival. Rather than celebrate the occasion alongside fellow Brits of Caribbean descent, she went full-bore with a Jamaican flag-print bikini and bantu knots in her hair, a style worn traditionally by Black women in the region.
"I didn’t read the f–king room," she told British Vogue in a new interview for their November issue. In hindsight, she said, she "totally" understands why a backlash occurred.
