Adele really has no time for haters, and she's not afraid to let everyone know about it.

After taking a few years off, the 'Hello' singer is back in full swing with her latest music offering.

On Saturday (1 June), Adele took to the stage for a show as part of her Las Vegas residency.

And the date marked the first day of Pride Month, though Adele was taken aback by what she thought was a negative comment about the celebration dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community.

Adele said in a fan-captured clip that she heard them saying, 'Pride sucks'.

Addressing the audience member, Adele asked them: "Did you come to my f**king show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f**king stupid?"

The response was met with huge cheers from the audience at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and Adele was not finished there.

The 'Skyfall' singer added: "Don’t be so f**king ridiculous. If you’ve got nothing nice to say, shut up. All right?"

Many flocked to the comments section of the viral video with the majority saying you really shouldn't mess with Adele, with one penning: "Imagine ADELE saying this to you oh i would just disappear."

However, it appears the audience member did not say 'pride sucks' after all.

In another video that has surfaced online, Adele is heard talking about her work schedule just moments before the comment.

"Friday is basically the beginning of my week, because that’s when I work, basically," the singer said.

The heckler then appears to shout out the words 'work sucks'

Adele is certainly not afraid to call people out during her shows, as she questioned a security guard last year who was 'bothering' an audience member.

'Can you stop a minute…. what is going on with that young fan over there,” the Grammy Award winner yelled, taking the mic with her as she pointed in the person’s direction.

She added: "He’s been bothered so much since I came on for standing up…what’s going on with him?”

A lot of people were left confused by the situation, with the singer having to gesture towards people repeatedly.

“What are you doing? Why are you bothering him? Can you leave him alone please,” she said, telling off someone who’d been disturbing a fan with ‘a stick in their hand’.

And having settled the situation, Adele added: "They won’t bother you again, my darling… you enjoy the show.”

Rapidly getting back to her show, the singer continued: "Sorry guys he’s been bothered the whole show by security and other people sitting behind him…”
