Access revoked! Adele, 33, has revealed that her Instagram password was taken off her after she posted a controversial photograph of herself last summer
Adele revealed that never used to have access to her social media accounts, but was given her passwords to send memes to her friends during the pandemic.
However, she had the privilege revoked after posting a controversial photograph of herself posing in the garden of her $9.5million Beverly Hills home, with her hair in Bantu knots.
Asked if she reads DMs a lot, Adele revealed: ‘No, in Covid they let me have my password. I was never allowed by passwords for my socials before.
‘That’s actually quite a well known fact. But obviously the internet was on fire during Covid it kept everyone’s moral up!’

‘Oh was that because you kept responding to everyone?’ asked Nikkie, to which Adele responded: ‘No no I think they were just worried that if I got drunk or annoyed… Not really about responding to anyone, more just posting my general thoughts.
‘Then I posted a picture, which a lot of people know about. It’s the only picture I posted myself… and then they took my password away from me again.
Adele received a backlash for her Notting Hill Carnival post, with many suggesting she was profiting off black culture with her choice of outfit and hairstyle.
Too risky! ‘I posted a picture, which a lot of people know about. It’s the only picture I posted myself… and then they took my password away from me’ explained Adele
Speaking to Vogue in October. Adele said of the controversy: ‘I could see comments being like, ‘the nerve to not take it down,’ which I totally get.
‘But if I take it down, it’s me acting like it never happened. And it did. I totally get why people felt like it was appropriating.
‘I had thought, if you don’t go dressed to celebrate the Jamaican culture – and in so many ways we’re so entwined in that part of London – then it’s a little bit like, ‘What you coming for, then?’
‘I didn’t read the f***ing room. I was wearing a hairstyle that is actually to protect Afro hair. Ruined mine, obviously.’
Daddy Dwayne: Adele also admitted that she wishes Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, 49, was her father
Star: The singer revealed that she would ‘freak out’ over meeting him because she used to watch wrestling when she was younger
Elsewhere in her Nikkie Tutorials chat, Adele revealed that she wished The Rock, a.k.a. Dwayne Johnson was her father, and would ‘freak out’ over meeting him.
She admitted: ‘Someone who I would freak out over – I would literally cry – is The Rock. He goes by Dwayne Johnson now. I was the biggest wrestling fan when I was younger.
‘He sent me flowers the other day because him and his wife couldn’t make my show. Literally, I nearly fell off my chair!’
‘He always paints his little girl’s nails and stuff like that, doesn’t he? He’s so cute. I wish he was my dad…
‘Oh yeah, it’s not like I – I haven’t got a crush on him or anything. It’s just, he’s amazing. He’s just incredible, I want him to be my mate. I want him to be my friend.’
Late father: Adele’s estranged father, Evans, died in May at the age of 57 after a long battle with bowel cancer
Adele’s estranged father, Evans, died in May at the age of 57 after a long battle with bowel cancer.
The pair famously fell out in 2011 when Evans – who walked out on the singer when she was a child – claimed in an interview that she struggled to find love because of her abandonment issues.
Adele recently revealed that she met with her father in Wales shortly before his death, and got closure after the heartbreak she suffered as a little girl due to his absence in her life.
It was revealed in 2019 that Evans – who announced his bowel cancer diagnosis six years earlier – was earning just £50 a day as a Yodel delivery driver after giving up his career as a plumber.
Evans admitted he was a ‘rotten father’ to his daughter when she was growing up, blaming his alcoholism – triggered by the collapse of his relationship with Adele’s mother Penny Adkins – for the way he treated her.
He walked out when his daughter was three, leaving her mother to raise her single-handedly.
Elsewhere in the video, Adele discussed her drinking habits, and admitted that she used to drink to make other people interesting at parties as she chatted about her new album.
‘I would normally drink to make other people interesting, rather than to spice myself up!’ she said while going through the transformation.
Nikkie, who had asked her about her song I Drink Wine, poured her a glass and the pair sipped it throughout the video, with Adele noting: ‘people at parties are bloody boring!’
She went onto share that she misses being able to go to the supermarket, saying: ‘Because I don’t like being photographed and things like that, the planning that goes into it is f***ing exhausting.’
Asked what kept her grounded, the superstar joked: ‘Oh my son, don’t you worry! And my two f***ing new puppies.’
Wow! Adele opened up about her life as she underwent a makeup transformation with Nikkie de Jager – who is better known as Nikki Tutorials
