Adele and SNL under fire for sketching sex tourism in Africa

Adele and SNL under fire for sketching sex tourism in Africa

 


The sketch, intended to poke fun at sex tourism, sees the trio encouraging visitors to come to Africa, repeatedly boasting about its ‘tribes’ and ‘huge bamboos’, as black extras carry women to a beach back -plan.

“This African sketch was tone, callous and inappropriate,” wrote Shenequa Golding, reporter for the R&B Vibe news site, on Twitter. “Men and women in Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are fighting for their lives and reducing the continent as a sexual destination for white women is shameful.”

MTV host Dometi Pongo added, “If you want to try to touch that, it has to be just a little smarter and more nuanced or not touch it at all. Not (yet).”

Adele, who hosted the show’s fourth episode of the show’s current season on Saturday, broke the character and burst out laughing several times during the scene.

The simulated tourism trade features Africa as “the number one destination for middle-aged divorcees,” and features McKinnon’s character repeatedly bragging about the continent’s “great and great tribes”.

The three describe how they were greeted by tribes after their divorce, using suggestive puns to encourage other women to settle in Africa.

Here's why Adele wore Bantu bows, a Jamaican flag bikini top, and other carnival clothing

During their musical performance in the same episode, singer’s band HER wore t-shirts with the slogan #ENDSARS in solidarity with protesters in Nigeria protesting against police brutality and the notorious anti-theft special police unit from the country.

CNN has reached out to representatives for NBC Universal and Adele for comment.

Adele, who is reportedly working on her fourth studio album, faced controversy in August after posting a photo of herself on Instagram wearing Bantu knots, a Jamaican flag bikini top and other carnival outfits popular in Afro-Caribbean cultures.

The singer was celebrating what would have been Notting Hill Carnival, the second largest carnival in the world, which typically takes place on the streets of west London every summer but has been canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
