Adéla Defends Rachel Chinouriri After Fan Ripped Down Promo Posters
Adéla has defended Rachel Chinouriri after a fan filmed themselves tearing down posters advertising Chinouriri’s upcoming album in London. Adéla condemned the act and urged fans to respect other artists’ promotion, saying that getting music heard is especially difficult for Black women.
The posters promoted Chinouriri’s second album, *I Think I Spoke Too Soon*, due on 16 October, and covered adverts for Adéla’s single “Ain’t in LA”. Chinouriri said she had spent considerable money and years of work securing promotion, and described the fan’s actions as mean and upsetting. The video’s caption also drew criticism from fans who pointed to concerns about anti-Blackness in Adéla’s growing fandom.
