Adele has definitely said some great things recognizing Black excellence ( ie: her Grammy Speech about Beyonce and Lemonade) however, and this is a genuine question, has she made intentional decisions to support Black artist by employing them as producers, back up vocalists, musicians, etc on her albums and tours? Has she invited soulful Black artists to open up for her on tour?

Again, this is a genuine question because words are great but actions and putting your money where your mouth is is better.

I think it could be argued that she’s monopolized the soulful ballad market for a grip and outshined actual Black soul singers and done little to turn her massive white audience on to said Black soul singers.

Does anyone remember the “Jasmin Sullivan should be as big as Adele but isn’t cuz she’s not white” conversations that once filled these comment sections?

Not trying to come for Adele but genuinely curious...
