Norwegian Singer Faces Death Threat For Using Black Actor In Music Video

A Norwegian singer Sophie Elise Isachsen has revealed that she received death threats and racist abuse after her latest music video in which she used a black actor.

She said she was horrified when abusive comments began pouring in online in response to the love story between herself and her co-star in the video to her single All Of Your Friends.

Isachsen who titled the video ‘All Of Your Friends’ simply acted out a passionate relationship with a partner, played by a black actor, while she sings about getting her revenge by sleeping with the ex’s friends.

She told the  BBC’s Newsbeat,  “I’ve been a public figure in Norway for about six years so I am used to getting a lot of hate,’ she told

‘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,’ she added referring to the racism in the comments.
