Adele explains why she looks annoyed in THAT viral NBA meme – as she DENIES having work done on her ‘naturally big’ lips: ‘I don’t need filler’
Adele finally explained that viral meme during an NBA All-Stars game in Cleveland, Ohio two years ago.
During her residency show in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the 35-year-old singer addressed the crowd and explained why she seemed to be in a bad mood during the basketball game.
She deliberately ignored the camera at the competition in February 2022 because she was “very annoyed,” she told the audience at her Weekends with Adele concert, according to a fan-recorded TikTok video.
“Remember that viral meme where I look like I don’t give a damn?
“I’d like to provide some context on that meme,” explained the 16-time Grammy winner — who is often “memeified” and praised by fans for her unbothered appearance and honest responses.

“But the people with the camera came over and asked me twice,” she said.
‘They said, ‘Do you mind if we film you? Can we put you on screen?’ I said, ‘Please don’t do that. I just quit (my) Vegas (residency). I really don’t want to be (on camera),” she recalled.
