HE MAY BE one of the most revered artists in modern history, but that doesn’t mean everyone is a fan of Michael Jackson.

And if Twitter’s response to Sam Smith’s opinion is anything to go by, disliking the King of Pop is a cardinal sin.

In a video shared by Adam Lambert (remember him?) on Instagram, Sam can be seen saying:

I don’t like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song.

And that was it; Twitter damn near imploded at the neck of him.

In the days that have followed the circulation of the video, people have been running themselves ragged giving out about the Lay Me Down singer.

Sure, there are people defending Sam online, but on the whole, Twitter is indignant AF right now.

To whoever is going to meet Sam Smith in the future, tell him that I don't even know anything about him but I hate him for under-appreciating the ONE AND ONLY Michael Jackson. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/6B3oje3XNi

Sam Smith's falsetto screams Michael Jackson yet he has the nerve to say he doesn't like MJ. Well...anyway Sam's music ain't that interesting

I don’t get how @samsmithworld doesn’t like @michaeljackson’s music, nothing but timeless jams for days.

I strongly doubt he’s listened to Michael’s full discography or even all of Thriller.. only a fool wouldn’t like the king of pop after that
