Adele Shared a Photo of Her Wearing Bantu Knots With a Jamaican Flag Bikini

Adele wore the hair knots and Jamaican flag to celebrate the annual Notting Hill Carnival. Here is her Instagram post, and here are bantu knots.

www.newsweek.com

Who cares about the hair Adele looking pretty good holy shit like a total different person.

 

[teezzy]

She looks like a fucking retard.

 

[Goro Majima]

 

[BWJinxing]

That's not Adele. Please, lie to me and tell me her account was hacked.

I fall into the camp of missing plus size Adele. But regardless, was that really the best photo? A different angle might have been redeeming.

 

[brap]

Grown up Lisa SImpson with tattoos. Epic.

 

[Tschumi]

I'm happy for her but she is about 350 miles hubward of my tastes.

 

[God Enel]

ho’ on crack

 

[Halo is Back]

Not her best look.....

 

[DeafTourette]

Her head isn't shaped well for Bantu knots. Plus that pic isn't flattering. A different angle would have been better. But I take it this is a candid pic and not a pose pic.

 

[O-N-E]

Why did she do that?

Stoooooooooooop

 

[Rentahamster]

Cute, but not quite my tempo.

 

[NoviDon]

If your literally chilling with the people your supposedly appropriating, and they dont have a problem with it, who the fuck are you to be outraged about it. Social media really was a mistake.

Ah, "Cultural appropriation"

Unless you're also telling black people they can't straighten their hair, dye it blonde, wear suits etc. then kindly stop being a hypocrite, shut up, stop trying to divide and discriminate and let people live their lives.

 

[tommycronin]

I think we both have different understanding of the phrase "looking fine"

 

[Kadayi]

Agreed. That forehead real estate is not flattering.

 

[Hudo]

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Her weight loss is impressive. Her hair style? Not so much.

 

[nkarafo]

I feel sorry for the poor black people who have to go through their day after this. How could she do this to them?

I told my token black friend about this whilst we were conversing on the phone and I could hear him holding back the tears. Even I almost started to cry...

 

[nush]

They hated on her when she lost weight, now they hating on her even more. She was like an icon the landwales could point at to justify the body positive movement, when she showed them you actually can lose weight if you focus they lost their minds.

 

[H4ze]

cultural appropriation is bullshit but god damn, these hair still look fucking stupid on most white people, not gonna lie.

 

[cormack12]

Who would have thought, loing weight and getting in shape makes you realsie that being confident allows you to be more daring with how you dress and be comfortable being looked at. Of course it also shows those lazy fat asses that people will change what they wear when they make an effort. They don't choose to always dress dowdy because they like the style, it's to cover and conceal and make them feel comfortable. Of course, you have the opposite extreme as well

I can smell this image

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Another non-story. The ancient Celts, Picts and other European tribes invite you to touch their hair.

 

[King of Foxes]

her head looks like katy perrys head

 

[Coolwhhip]

Celebrities do anything for attention, even looking ugly.

 

[trikster40]

I’m assuming the news story was written by a Jamaican?

What, it wasn’t? Well, surely they contacted several Jamaicans and asked them if they were offended by this?

What, they didn’t?

Let me guess: 99% positive that the story was written by a white person? Yeah, that sounds about right.

 

[Super Mario]

This is being a girl in 2020. No matter what you do, you are beautiful. Especially if you are ugly

 

[H-I-M]

She might get a pass cause "she's inoffensive Adele" but she does look ridiculous.

 

[LordCBH]

The problem isn’t appropriation. Because no one gives a shit about appropriation other than retarded white people who have white guilt. The problem is she looks like she has the intelligence to count to hash browns in that picture while eating crayons.

 

[cormack12]

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Agreed. That forehead real estate is not flattering.

Yeah. About to call Century 21 and ask for a quote on that bad boy.

 

[captainraincoat]

i dont mind the look

 

[Mistershine.]

Meh, I'd let her put it in her mouth and shake it about until the big finish.

 

[MrS]

"looking fine" yeah ok. She looks like a fuckin gremlin.

 

[Elginer]

I miss slightly chubby adele

 

[Whataborman]

ho’ on crack

This is exactly what I thought she looked like.

It's a terrible picture.

Thin Adele may look OK, but not in that picture.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Oh, the classic parrot-after-a-roadside-puddle-bath look

 

[God Enel]

I

This is exactly what I thought she looked like.

It’s absolutely fine that she lost weight. That’s always good.
But that picture is not doing her any favor. Not because of the weight but the face and hairstyle.. it’s horrible.

faces of meth.

 

[John Mullins]

lol she looks terrifying.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I admire the weight loss but only some people are capable of pulling off those hairstyles

 

[#Phonepunk#]

she looks like a lo poly abomination from an early N64 game given life

 

[Cunth]

looks like a fat person pretending to be skinny

 

[J-Roderton]

The hell is she doing?

 

[Whataborman]

looks like a fat person pretending to be skinny

It makes you wonder if maybe drug use is what is actually driving her weight loss

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

I'm Jamaican. I don't care if she wears our flag or embraces our culture/heritage. One love.

 

[Cunth]

I'm Jamaican. I don't care if she wears our flag or embraces our culture/heritage. One love.

would you fuck her?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Nice tits.

 

[lock2k]

cultural appropriation is bullshit but god damn, these hair still look fucking stupid on most white people, not gonna lie.
