Amy Shark's shocking message to a fan who told the singer to ditch her signature top knot bun
Amy Shark has shocked fans after she told a social media troll that she does not care whether he 'lives or dies'.
The Australian Idol judge, whose real name is Amy Louise Billings, 39, shared a video on Monday of her performing one of her old songs in her bedroom.
A man identified only as 'Rupert' commented critically on the singer's signature bun hairstyle, writing: 'Oh the bun is back ffs get rid of it.'
The Australian singer was quick to shut him down in her fiery response.
'I'll have you know that I'm just relaxing at home and my hair is up, so it doesn't go in my food. I also don't give a f**k if you live or die… so there's that,' Amy penned with a shrug emoji.

Some fans were quick to praise the singer's response to the troll.
'Haha! I love whatever is wrong with you,' one commented.
'Get it girl, never get rid of your bun,' added a second.
'Someone call 000, Rupert needs to go to the burns ward,' said another, while one fan simple wrote: 'Wow' in reaction to Amy's words.
The ARIA Award-winning artist doubled down on her clapback on Friday as she posted a second video addressing the online interaction.
'This guy wrote a comment to me the other night and trust me I don't read comments, it just happened to pop down while I was on TikTok,' Amy began her video.
'I read it and thought "That's not nice."'
'I mean they all suck and I approve them all because I don't really care. I just replied to him and I absolutely wiped the floor with this guy.
She was quick to shut down a social media troll in her comments section
'And now he's all like "Aw but",' she pouted.
'Don't be an a**hole. I'm a bigger one.'
It comes after the singer sparked concern among fans last month when she posted a candid and emotional video to TikTok revealing a deeply personal family rift.
Amy shocked followers as she opened up about her strained family relationships, saying she doesn't speak to her parents at all – and that the only person she truly cared about has since passed away.
'I don't think anyone on here actually realises just how f**king crazy I could be,' she began in the raw video, staring directly into the camera.
'I don't talk to my parents. Not my mum or my dad. Not even like … like, no one,' she continued.
'The only person that I cared about is dead now. And like, my brothers... We're fine, but he's six years younger than me. So he's not telling me what to do.'
Amy then appeared to spiral further as she confessed: 'I could be going f**king crazy, crazy. Like I could do anything. I'm not gonna disappoint anyone.'

Reflecting on her upbringing, she added: 'My parents had me when they were like 19 and 20. I found videos - I know what the f**k they were doing.'
She concluded the emotional clip with a plea for recognition: 'I just think I need a little more respect from people to be like, wow, Amy turned out pretty good.'
The post quickly amassed thousands of views and an outpouring of support, with fans flooding the comments to express concern and solidarity.
