The online mob has lambasted the pop star for wearing bantu knots and a Jamaican flag bikini as a tribute to London's Notting Hill Carnival, which celebrates the cultural heritage of the Caribbean.

Singer Adele appeared to have hit back at critics after receiving backlash online for her homage to Jamaican culture, according to a screenshot that has been doing the rounds on Twitter.

The picture shows Adele cheekily comment in Jamaican patois during Brandy and Monica's Instagram live on Monday: "Wah Gwaan! Yow gyal, yuh look good enuh."

​The screenshot most certainly has been doctored, as the aligment and font of Adele's purported comment were off. Yet still many people fell for the trick.

The 'Hello' hitmaker caused a stir online when she posted a picture of herself sporting a traditional Bantu knot hairstyle and a top in the colours of the Jamaican flag as she celebrated London's Notting Hill Carnival, which moved online this year.

Adele has been accused of cultural appropriation and insensitivity for posting such a photo at a time when the anti-racism movement is in the spotlight on both sides of the Atlantic.
