Adele went all out when a concert goer yelled “Pride sucks!” during her concert in the Las Vegas Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The ‘Set Fire To The Rain’ singer has been quite outspoken about her love for the LGBTQ+ Community.

The video showed Adele, seated at the piano, shutting down the person who made homophobic remarks. The ‘Skyfall’ singer was captured saying, “Did you come to my f—king show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f—king stupid? Don’t be so f—king ridiculous. If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut up, all right?”

This incident coincidentally happened on the same day as the first day of Pride Month.

Netizens quickly came to Adele’s support by praising her for shutting down the negativity.

One user on X (Formerly Twitter) wrote, "Oh she cleared them with ease. Adele was NOT playing with the homophobia”

Another user wrote, "Adele ate that b-tch up”

Adele has never shied away from extending her support to the LGBTQ+ Community. In 2016, after the terrible massacre of the LGBTQ+ Community in Florida happened, Adele addressed the audience and said, “I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night… The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soul mates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it.”

Adele is also known to speak out during her “Weekends With Adele” Las Vegas shows. She stopped the concert to address the crowd regarding the trend of hitting artists on stage with objects which used to end up injuring them really badly. Bebe Rexha was struck with a cellphone tossed by a fan and had to stop the show.

“Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting f—king show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing sh-t on stage, have you seen them? I f—king dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I’ll f—king kill you,” Adele said.
