Chances are, you've heard something about Adele's hosting gig on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Social media has been ~ a flutter ~ with Adele's appearance. Not only did she look gorgeous, but she managed to land herself a sketch that was 99% singing, which fans couldn't love more!
Unfortunately, not everything about Adele's hosting gig has gone over well on social media.
Towards the end of the show, Adele and SNL cast member Kate McKinnon portrayed two divorced women filming a commercial for the Tourism Board of Africa.
Needless to say, the performance received mixed reactions on Twitter.
Some found the sketch incredibly offensive and tasteless.
"Adele, the woman dating black men and wearing Bantu knots, decided to be ok joining in on a skit about divorced white women going to Africa to fetishize black men?" tweeted one user.
"That AFRICA skit was tacky and tone deaf. Black men are so much more than horny white women’s playthings. Bring money and sneakers? TRASH. Shame on you," echoed another.
It seems the problematic undertones were lost on many viewers who could only focus on how much Adele was laughing throughout the whole skit.
Adele has yet to comment on the backlash.
