Norwegian vocalist gets death threats for using black actor in video

Popular Norwegian songstress, Sophie Elise Isachsen has said that she got death threats and racist abuse after her new music video in which she used a black actor.

According to her, she was terrified when offensive comments began pouring in online in reaction to the love story between herself and her co-star in the video to her single All Of Your Friends.

Isachsen in the video acted out a passionate relationship with a partner, played by a black actor, while she sings about getting her retaliation by sleeping with the ex’s friends.

In her words: “I’ve been a public figure in Norway for about six years so I am used to getting a lot of hate. But I really didn’t think people would care about the guy’s skin colour in my video.I actually didn’t want to remove the comments because I wanted people to see that this type of thing still goes on”.
