The nonbinary vocalist dropped the visual treatment for their most current single “I’m Not Here To Make Friends,” which is included on their recently-released album, “Gloria.” Safe to state, ‘INHTMF’ remains in your face when it pertains to displaying skin and sexually suggestive scenes.

Sam is illustrated in a number of eye-popping clothing, consisting of one where their chest is on screen with nipple pasties in location. There are likewise minutes where SS is being sprayed in the confront with water … which kinda looks some something frequently best left closed doors.

Of course, the backup dancers and additionals are flaunting their things in scantily-clad getups all throughout … so, objectively, it inspects package for a typically intriguing task.

Now, the debate … Sam has actually been trending all weekend over this video, primarily conjuring up outrage from individuals on the right — who seem like it’s hugely unsuitable … particularly as it refers to age restrictions and kids who may come across it on YouTube.

The argument from that end is that ‘I’m Not Here’ is simply a hyper-sexualized presentation of perversion for the hell of it, masked as body positivity and LGBTQ+ empowerment.
