Additionally, Adele did not turn down Beyonce’s supposed offer for the two to collaborate, because no such request was made. During a BBC Radio interview this past November, Adele herself denied the rumors she “snubbed” Beyonce, asserting, "I would never disrespect her like that. I’m such a fan, oh my God!” And when asked to name a few of her favorite musicians, Adele responded, “Obviously, Queen Bey to the day I die.”
