Adele recently took the time to address her viral meme where she was sitting courtside during the NBA all-star game in 2022.
In a viral TikTok video posted by a fan, Adele was seen at her residency in Las Vegas on Saturday night and explained the story behind the viral meme. “Do you remember that viral meme of me looking like I don’t give a flying f—? I’d like to give some context to that meme. I know it sounds crazy, but I really don’t like being famous, right? So obviously, I know I’m sitting courtside at a basketball game, whatever. But Rich [Paul] was working the room and, you know, talking to other players and people. I was fine. I didn’t mind. I was just there on my own, looking for Michael Jordan to be honest with you,” Adele told the audience.

he continued: “So, the people with the camera came over and asked me twice. They were like, ‘Do you mind if we film you? Can we put you on the screen?’ I said, ‘Please don’t. Injay canceled my Las Vegas residency. I really don’t wanna be [on camera]. They came back and they filmed me.” In the video, Adele also took the time to shut down rumors that she has fillers in her lips. “I have naturally big lips…I don’t need filler,” the 16-time Grammy winner said. “The reason I looked like a different person was because I was sulking. Because I was like, ‘These motherf—ers have come back and are filming me against my will.’”
Adele said she thought they were just airing the recording of her “in the room” — not on TV.
“I just wanted to give some context. Because I was ignoring looking everywhere but in the camera. I was just very annoyed because I asked not to be filmed. Also, my face is very memorable. I can’t help it,” she teased.
The meme has sparked a wave of hilarious reactions and clever captions, with many people joking about Adele’s intense focus on the game. Some have even compared her to a basketball coach or a motivational speaker, citing her determined expression as proof of her unwavering commitment to winning.
In conclusion, Adele’s viral meme at the basketball game is yet another example of her ability to effortlessly capture the internet’s attention. With her cool and confident demeanor, Adele has once again proven herself to be a meme queen, delighting fans and followers with her infectious charm and relatable personality.
