Zara would only say it because of the BLM privilege. The only one who's shown beyst's influence is Self Harmony during their first era.
People only "like" britney because of Mental Handicap Privilege though, you literally can't say anything bad about her. it's like making fun of a child
Adele has cited the Spice Girls as a major influence in regard to her love and passion for music, stating that "they made me what I am today".[167] Adele impersonated the Spice Girls at dinner parties as a young girl.[168] She stated she was left "heartbroken" when her favourite Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell aka "Ginger Spice", left the group.[169][170] She has also stated that growing up, she listened to Sinéad O'Connor,[171] The Cure,[172] Dusty Springfield,[173] Celine Dion,[174] and Annie Lennox.[175] One of Adele's earliest influences was Gabrielle, who Adele has admired since the age of five. During Adele's school years, her mother made her an eye patch with sequins which she used to perform as the Hackney born star in a school talent contest.[176] After moving to south London, she became interested in R&B artists such as Aaliyah, Destiny's Child, and Mary J. Blige.[177] Adele says that one of the most defining moments in her life was when she watched Pink perform at Brixton Academy in London. She states: "It was the Missundaztood record, so I was about 13 or 14. I had never heard, being in the room, someone sing like that live […] I remember sort of feeling like I was in a wind tunnel, her voice just hitting me. It was incredible."[178][179]
As a teenager Adele would listen to Etta James (pictured) while developing her vocals
In 2002, aged 14, Adele discovered Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald as she stumbled on the artists' CDs in the jazz section of her local music store. She was struck by their appearance on the album covers.[29] Adele states she then "started listening to Etta James every night for an hour," and in the process was getting "to know my own voice."[29] Adele credits Amy Winehouse and her 2003 album Frank for inspiring her to take up the guitar, stating, "If it wasn't for Amy and Frank, one hundred per cent I wouldn't have picked up a guitar, I wouldn't have written "Daydreamer" or "Hometown [Glory]" and I wrote "Someone Like You" on the guitar too."[180] She also states that her mother, who is very close to her, exposed her to the music of Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, and Alicia Keys, all of whom inspired her as well.[171] She is also a fan of Lana Del Rey, Grimes, Chvrches, FKA Twigs, Alabama Shakes, Kanye West, Rihanna, Frank Ocean, Stevie Nicks, and Beyoncé.[181][182][183] Adele cited Madonna's album Ray of Light as a "chief inspiration" behind her album 25.[182]
In all honesty I don't get the amount of Britney draggings that go on here. Her career is over, her life is controlled by the government. She already lost. Why kick her when she's been down for 10 years already.
Literally EVERYONE in the music industry worships the ground Beyoncé walks on. People from every genre, every section of the industry, old acts, new acts. She was one of MJ's favorite artists. If we're gonna say everyone who loves her is influenced by her then everyone in the industry is.
Yeah Adele heard Britney strangled cat growls and thought to herself "uhm yeah let me become a minimalistic pop/soul singer" sure
She said she grew up and listened to more sophisticated music rather than what was on the radio but that doesn't change the fact that Gurney was one of Adelephant's primary inspirations.

Untrue. People genuinely like Britney. You can tell because many of them defended her even when she was being Hillary'd by the press in 2006-2009.
And you can see her clear cut influence on so many especially the ones who came out right after she did.
With beyst, it's different because he spent his whole career as a clone of someone else (First JLo then Shakespira) etc.
And now BLM privilege pushes them to cite her as an inspiration because a a smart black woman in charge, ur braids are problematic etc.
