Singer Adele had a strong reaction when someone in the crowd allegedly spoke negatively about “Pride.”
A video of the incident quickly went viral on social media after it was shared Sunday by Sky News. The clip showed the “Someone Like You” singer addressing the concertgoer from the stage of her Las Vegas residency on June 1, the first day of “Pride Month.”
The fan had reportedly yelled out, “Pride sucks,” which is what prompted Adele to respond in anger. However, another fan posted a video of the alleged heckler, claiming he had actually said, “Work sucks.”
“Hate to defend a m*n but the guy was somewhere behind me and he said “work sucks” not “pride sucks,” that X user wrote.
Adele believed he said “pride,” though.
“Did you come to my f***ing show and just say that Pride sucks?” the singer said.
“Are you f***ng stupid?” the 36-year-old recording artist added. “Don’t be so f***ing ridiculous. If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut up, all right?”
Adele then brushed her hair off her shoulder dramatically as many concertgoers started cheering and clapping.
A second video shows another moment during the event when the Grammy Award-winning star addressed the fan again. “Happy Pride,” she said, pointing in the direction of the person who yelled out. “Not to you, though.”
This isn’t the first time the British singer voiced her support for the LGBT community. In 2016, she spoke through tears about the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
“I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando at Pulse nightclub,” Adele told the crowd. “The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m really moved by it.”
The singer frequently uses profanity to make her point when addressing the crowd. After several high-profile performers were hit by fans throwing projectiles onto the stage, Adele issued a stern warning to anyone attending her shows.
“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment? People are throwing sh** on stage. Have you seen that?”
“I f***ing dare you — I dare you to throw something at me,” she continued while brandishing a t-shirt cannon. “I’ll f***ing kill you.”
