Just weeks after spending time in jail for charging at Ariana Grande on a red carpet in Singapore, Johnson Wen was kicked out of a Lady Gaga concert in his native Australia.
In videos posted to X and Instagram by other fans at the Mayhem Ball show, the 26-year-old prankster speaks to security personnel before being escorted out of Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The concert had not yet started at the time of his forced exit.
In the clips, fans audibly shout, “Get him out of here!” and, “That’s the guy that tackled Ariana!”
“Got kicked out of Lady Gaga concert!” Wen wrote on his Instagram Story shortly afterward. “The show doesn’t start till 8 p.m.! The early fans were booing me.”
It’s uncertain what his plans were for the Mayhem show, but in the past, Wen has made his name as a serial stage-crasher who’s rushed the stages of stars such as The Chainsmokers and The Weeknd. This summer, he was arrested for doing the same to Katy Perry on one of her Lifetimes Tour stops.
In November, he made headlines for jumping the barricade at the Singapore premiere of Wicked: For Good and charging headfirst toward Grande — who is good friends with Gaga and has collaborated with her on the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Rain on Me.” Wen was quickly pinned to the floor and escorted off the premises by security personnel, but only after he made contact with the singer-actress by wrapping an arm around her neck and grabbing hold of her shoulder. Cynthia Erivo was the first person to interfere, with videos capturing her prying Wen off her castmate.
In the aftermath, Wen was sentenced to nine days in Singapore jail, after which he was banned from ever returning to the Asian city-state.
