British sweetheart Adele, showed her “thug life” side at the 2012 Brit awards after her acceptance speech for ‘Album Of The Year’ was cut short so another performance could be introduced. Before Adele could exit the stage, she waved her middle finger in the air and said “Goodbye and I’ll see you next time around Eh!”

Adele later apologized:

“I was cut off during my speech, but I wanted to thank the British public for all their support. I was held up with my voice and troubles, but the album kept walking without me. I flipped the bird for the suits at the BRITS who cut me off. Sorry if I offended anyone but it was for them, not for the fans.”
