What's an award show without a little bit of controversy? Adele has found herself at the centre of a racist controversy after she mention her ''black friends'' in her Grammy speech.

"My artist of my life is Beyoncé," she said. "And this album for me, the 'Lemonade' album is just so monumental."

"It was so monumental and so well thought out and so beautiful and soul-bearing, and we all got to see another side of you that you don't always let us see and we appreciate that," Adele said from the stage to Beyoncé, who sat in the audience. "You are our light."

"The way that you make me and my friends feel -- and the way that you make my black friends feel -- is empowering," Adele continued. "You make them stand up for themselves and I love you, and I always have and I always will."

Some fans have applauded her for the use of 'black friends' while others have kicked against it. See some tweets below:
