The Stay With Me hitmaker took to his own Instagram account on Tuesday (11Aug15), posting a screenshot of an account belonging to a user called "GaySamSmithh".

In the description, it read, "WE HATE F**OT SMITH. there is a f**, his name is sam, when he's on, I like to cry. he is gay but that's okay we can all make fun of him."

However, Smith shrugged off the bizarre comments, writing, "This genuinely doesn't offend me, coz I'm way too thick skinned when it comes to this kind of s**t. BUT I just wanted to share this with everyone. so you can see how homophobia is still SO PRESENT in our society!!"
