Adam Levine pointed out that he was surprised when a fan suddenly touched him on stage while he was performing, but his reaction was by no means disrespectful.
Over the weekend, a video on TikTok went viral, featuring the singer performing while a fan climbed on stage and touched his arm. The Maroon 5 star froze for a moment, then security ousted the fans.

As you can see, Adam looks angry, says "f * ck" and then shrugs before continuing the performance.
People on social networks were divided into two groups. Some criticized his reaction considering him ungrateful to the fans, while others said that he is a man above all and it is understandable that he was surprised or that he requires space.
In an Instagram video, Adam said: "I have always been someone who loves, respects and adores fans. Without them, we do not have a job. I say this all the time. "
Levine said his reaction was because he was scared and did not intend to be malicious. "I just need you to know that I was really surprised. And sometimes when you are surprised ... you have to shake your body a little bit to keep going because I was doing my job up there. ”
