"I don't like Michael Jackson": Sam Smith's comment on the late pop icon has taken the Internet by storm

After his Oscars controversy, Sam Smith has given his fans just another chance to rip him off on social media, after he made a blatant comment on the King of Pop.
PUBLISHED AUG 13, 2018

Sam Smith is not a big fan of Michael Jackson, and the revelation has just caused a cerebral overload for his or late pop icon's fans. In a video clip shared by Adam Lambert, the 'Stay With Me' singer can be seen chilling on a yacht with the 'American Idol' runner-up, where the two were enjoying some R&R along with a few drinks with their friends. 

As Sam sings along to Beyonce's song with several others, the camera spanned during the Michael Jackson track, and he can be heard reluctantly saying, "I don't like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song."

Within hours of Lambert posting the video online, social media users erupted at Sam's comment about the late pop star. As the video ends, a few people standing in the background (not seen in the video) can be heard exclaiming "Wow!" in disbelief at Sam's admittance.
