Adele had social media buzzing in a tribute to the Notting Hill Caribbean Carnival in a Jamaican flag bikini top in an Instagram post. The 32-year-old English singer-songwriter had her hair in Bantu knots, a yellow feather headdress, and black & grey leggings.
Adele wrote in the Instagram post: “Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London 🇬🇧🇯🇲.”
Jamaicans on Twitter and Instagram were in a frenzy as they boasted that Jamaica is the cultural icon of the world.
Twitter user Amy (aj_hair_makeup) said “Adele moved from Hello to Wagwan” in reference to the Jamaican patois greeting for hello.
Marlon Palmer (@thatdudemcfly) another Jamaican on twitter said “She needs to drop a ‘Hi Hello Good Evening’ remix now”. He also posted that he “can’t wait till she drops her album ‘Thutty Tree’ #33”
The Notting Hill Carnival which is held in London is the biggest street festival in Europe. It typically attracts some 2.5 million visitors over its two-day run in August. For the first time in its history – 54 years and counting – the festival has gone digital in response to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancellation of its in-person staging.
