An unexpected incident happened at the Singapore premiere of Wicked when Ariana Grande was approached by a man known for similar actions at other large events.
Johnson Wen, also known online as Pyjama Man, quickly posted a video of the event to his Instagram account.
Okay, so I just saw this video, and it’s pretty wild. This guy was totally rushing towards Ariana Grande on the red carpet, trying to wrap his arm around her, and she was clearly trying to get away. Thankfully, her Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo, jumped in and pushed him away before security could grab him. It was a really quick reaction from Cynthia, honestly!
I recently saw a post from someone incredibly excited about meeting Ariana Grande! They shared a photo and a sweet message saying, simply, ‘Dear Ariana Grande, thank you for letting me jump on the yellow carpet with you ❤️’. It was a really cute and genuine moment, clearly a highlight for this fan.
Of course, as one can clearly tell from the video, Grande did not “let” Wen do anything here.
Grande continued walking while security and fans reacted to the sudden interruption.
A Documented Pattern Across Major Events
Screenshots of Wen’s Instagram profile show that this type of activity is not new for him.
His bio lists prior stunts including:
- “2023 World Cup Final Pitch Invader”
- “Troll Most Hated”
- His feed contains videos of similar disruptions involving:
- Katy Perry
- The Weeknd
- The Chainsmokers
- The 2024 Paris Olympics
- The FIFA World Cup Final
- Sporting fields and other large venues
Videos are surfacing that seem to show him repeatedly wandering into areas he shouldn’t be during shows and competitions. The number of times this has happened, at different events and places, is now getting more scrutiny following the incident at the Ariana Grande concert.
Public Reaction Online
Wen’s post about the Singapore premiere quickly sparked a lot of reaction online. Many people criticized the behavior shown as disrespectful and dangerous, worrying about the safety of both the performer and the fans. Comments ranged from annoyance to shock that this happened at such a large international event.
Many people commented that these kinds of interruptions can ruin the event for others, especially those who waited a long time for a special, unique experience.
Safety and Event Management Concerns
Ariana Grande hasn’t spoken out about what happened, but it’s sparked a new conversation about safety at big events like movie premieres, concerts, and international sports competitions.
Wen’s practice of posting videos of disruptions online brings up important questions about how venues track and deal with people who repeatedly cause problems. The Singapore debut of Wicked was a significant international event, and these incidents show how difficult it is to ensure a safe and pleasant experience for everyone involved – both those on stage and the audience.
A Developing Situation
So far, the team behind Wicked, Ariana Grande, and the event organizers haven’t released any official comments about what happened. We’ll share updates as soon as we have more information.
