Adele accused of harassment

Adele is currently one of the biggest pop star, yet that hasn’t stopped people from trying to trash her success. In December, there was a petition at Change.org, which pictured Adele in front of a Confederate flag, claiming she needed to publicly recognize her “white privilege”.

“Adele sold over 3.38 million copies of her album 25 and the media is praising her as if her success has everything to do with talent. Rather, it’s her white privilege that has put her on top,” the petition claimed.

The petition went on to note that Adele has sold more than recent albums by Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Janet Jackson, while also stating the albums by the aforementioned artists were supposedly better. The mission statement of the petition says that the fawning over Adele by fans and the press continues to show how minorities are repressed in the music business.

Even though the petition has so-far earned more than 200 signatures and has been featured on many news sites, it could just be a job of one creative troll.
