Read our privacy policy Adele has received mixed reactions for a photo she posted celebrating Notting Hill Carnival. “If 2020 couldn’t get anymore bizarre, Adele is giving us Bantu knots and cultural appropriation that nobody asked for,” journalist Ernest Owens wrote on Twitter. Hate to see it.” One of Adele’s followers on Instagram commented: “Black women are discriminated against for wearing cultural hairstyles like bantu knots and locs but white people are not, that’s not fair and that’s why people are pissed off.” However, others said they didn’t mind Adele’s hairstyle. Notting Hill Carnival: Access All Areas features live music performances and entertainment, which can be streamed on four channels throughout the end-of-August bank holiday weekend.
