Calvin Harris Shares Unflattering Drawing Of Sam Smith On Snapchat: Shade Or Artistic License?
When did Calvin Harris become the grand master of shade? In retrospect, taking back all the songs he wrote for Rita Ora’s sophomore album should have been a sign. Since then the Scottish DJ lead the social media charge against Natalia Kills in the wake of her career-ending X Factor New Zealand dummy spit and then dragged Leona Lewis with impressive subtlety by saying “We Found Love” was only a hit because of Rihanna. (The “Bleeding Love” diva sang it originally).
The 31-year-old’s latest target is Sam Smith. Calvin shared an unflattering drawing of the crooner on Snapchat over the weekend, but most commentators failed to see the funny side. In all fairness, it might all just be a huge misunderstanding. Perhaps the “Summer” hitmaker is just a terrible artist and meant no harm? It all just seems a little unnecessary — particularly given Sam’s recent bout of ill health. See the picture below.
