As you can see, the “Hello” singer is being seen sporting a bikini top decorated with the Jamaican flag, and she wore her hair in Bantu knots, a traditional African hairstyle.

While fans praised the singer for her phenomenal weight loss journey, there were many others who accused the British pop star of cultural appropriation. The Grammy winner was also slammed for sporting the hairstyle.

“You sound extremely ignorant. America had no culture until the black people gave it to them,” wrote one user.

“I am a Jamaican. Nothing to see here. No issue,” said another follower.
