ACCUSED OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

In the wake of her post, Adele garnered diverse reactions from fans and critics, one prominent one being that she was attempting cultural appropriation. One fan on Twitter considered her post unwarranted, while another person termed her "problematic."

She is also yet to open up or clamp down on the rumors.

A third fan felt Adele could have gone without styling her hair in Bantu knots. A fan outrightly addressed the singer by stating that she was not black or Jamaican. The award-winning singer had some supporters who encouraged her outfit and gave their approval.

Following her post, rumor mills speculated how Adele achieved her body transformation. Some of her ex-trainers shared how specific diets helped her.

However, health experts debunked some of the rumors which pointed to how the music star lost her weight. Measures like calorie crash, sirtfoods, and no sugar were ruled out.

So far, the Pop-soul crooner is rocking her body transformation unbothered. She is also yet to open up or clamp down on the rumors.
