A controversial video of a woman hurling abusive remarks at Sam Smith has been circulating on the Internet.
The 65th Grammy Awards, the world’s most prestigious music festival, was held on Sunday, February 5 (local time).
At the awards ceremony, singer Sam Smith performed his hit song “Unholy” with singer Kim Petras, who is a transgender woman.

On stage, Sam and Kim Petras, dressed in bright red outfits, wore hats with devil horns. They also sang the song while surrounded by dancers with whips in a cage, which was an extreme performance, and the audience voiced their disapproval of the performance.
After the performance, the Federal Communications Commission received several complaints, many of them “praising the devil.
Then, on Wednesday, February 14, a video was posted on Twitter.
It shows a woman yelling and cursing at Sam as he walked by in front of what appears to be the entrance to the Central Park Zoo in New York City.
The woman shouted at Sam, “You go to hell,” “You twisted, sick, demonic, sick bastard,” “Sam Smith! You are the devil! You are the devil!

Sam, on the other hand, did not respond to any of these rants and continued walking without even changing his expression.
The video has already been viewed more than 4 million times and has received a number of comments such as, “She’s wrong and crazy. He is just singing and dancing” and “It is the woman who is sick,” while others have praised the woman’s behavior, saying “She deserved to be told off” and “That performance was not something a child should be allowed to see.
Regardless of whether one agrees with the performance or not, the song “Unholy” by Kim and Sam won the “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” award at this year’s Grammy Awards.
