Ariana Grande – Man Who Grabbed Singer on ‘Wicked: For Good’ Carpet Is Charged With “Public Nuisance” in Singapore

Singapore officials have charged the man who jumped a barricade and grabbed Ariana Grande during the “Wicked: For Good” red carpet event on Thursday. The incident, captured in multiple viral clips, shows 26-year-old Australian citizen Johnson Wen rushing toward the star, attempting to embrace her, and putting his arm around her. Grande appears stunned as her co-star Cynthia Erivo quickly intervenes, pulling Wen away with visible anger.

Wen — who posts on Instagram as @pyjamamann — was briefly detained following the confrontation. He later shared a message online saying, “@arianagrande @wickedmovie Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.”

Authorities are treating the matter seriously. According to local court documents released Friday, Wen has been charged with “being a public nuisance.” If convicted, he faces up to three months in prison and a fine of as much as S$2,000 (approximately $1,540 USD). He is expected to return to court on Monday.

Wen has a history of similar disruptions. Videos on his Instagram account show him invading a Katy Perry show, a The Chainmakers concert, and several sporting events — including the 2023 FIFA World Cup Final — among many others.

The incident has sparked broad criticism, particularly given Grande’s past discussions about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder following the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds.

A man who grabbed Ariana Grande at the Asian premiere of “Wicked: For Good” in Singapore on Thursday night has been charged in court.

According to BBC News, Johnson Wen — who was shown in a viral video jumping over a barricade and rushing at Grande on the red carpet as her co-star Cynthia Erivo jumped in to protect her — has now been charged with being a public nuisance in Singapore. If found guilty, Wen faces a fine of up to fined up to S$2000 ($1,540). Local media has reported that Wen intends to plead guilty.

The 26-year-old Australian, who goes by Pyjama Man on Instagram, often posts on social media about getting close to celebrities at events and premieres. He has previously found his way on stage at the concerts of Katy Perry, the Weeknd, the Chainsmokers and others. On his Instagram story on Thursday, Wen posted that he was “free after being arrested.”

Wen’s charging at Grande caused a social media uproar, with his post about rushing the red carpet — which is captioned “Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You” — flooded with disapproving comments. “Oh wow so you do this a lot… how aren’t you in jail?” one user commented, while another said: “There needs to be an action done against him as this is clearly a criminal offense.”

Grande, Erivo and the rest of the “Wicked: For Good” cast are currently embarking on a world tour to promote the musical film, which releases on Nov. 21. The next and final stop is in New York City on Monday.

A man charged at Ariana Grande while she walked the yellow brick road carpet at the Singapore premiere of her new movie Wicked: For Good on Thursday.

In footage of the interaction captured on TikTok, the man appears to have jumped over a barricade as Grande signed autographs while walking along the carpet at Universal Studios Singapore, alongside co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.

The man then sprinted over to Grande and threw his arm around her, jumping up and down excitedly while waving at the crowd. Erivo quickly intervened, pulling them apart just before security stepped in and escorted him off the carpet.

Grande looked visibly shaken in the video and took a deep breath as Erivo hugged her once the man was gone.

The man, identified as Johnson Wen, calls himself a “prankster” on his TikTok account, where he shared the footage.

“Dear Ariana Grande Thanks for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You #wicked,” Wen wrote in his caption.

Perry was performing her hit song Hot N Cold at the Qudos Bank Arena when Wen rushed onto the stage and began dancing beside her.

The 41-year-old singer looked visibly shocked in a video shared to social media as the man tried to put his arm around her and jumped up and down on stage — similar to his actions with Grande.

Wen then started dancing by himself after Perry spun around to distance herself from him and continued to sing. As he performed the “floss” dance move, security approached him from both sides and escorted him off stage.

“There’s never going to be another show like this, so just enjoy it, Sydney,” Perry said into her microphone as security grabbed the man. “What the hell is going on?”

Police in New South Wales told NBC News that the man had been arrested and charged with two offences, including entering enclosed land and obstructing a person in performance of work or duties.

Wen hasn’t just approached Perry and Grande; he’s shared previous videos of himself running onstage during The Weeknd’s concert in Melbourne last year and running onto the field at the FIFA Women’s World Cup final in 2023.

When asked how he keeps getting past security after the incident, Wen told Australia’s 9News it was “Magic. Just kidding, I’m just too quick.”

Wen said he has racked up an estimated $20,000 in fines over his stage-invading antics.

“I’m planning to like quit forever because you get in way too much trouble for it,” he added.

It’s not immediately clear if he’ll face charges for the incident in Singapore.

Two men charged with murder of Lostprophets’ Ian Watkins

13 October 2025

Two men have been charged with the murder of Ian Watkins.

Ian Watkins was killed in prison

The former Lostprophets frontman – who was serving a 29-year sentence for a string of child sex offences – was fatally injured during an incident at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire on Saturday (11.10.25) morning and now Rashid Gedel, 25, and 43-year-old Samuel Dodsworth have been charged over the killing.

The pair will appear before Leeds Magistrates’ Court on Monday (13.10.25), West Yorkshire Police have announced.

Police and paramedics were called to the prison after the paedophile singer was reportedly ambushed and fatally injured after a knife attack.

Watkins was pronounced dead at the scene.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: “At 9.39am this morning, police were called by staff at HMP Wakefield reporting an assault on a prisoner. Emergency services attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

“Detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team are investigating and inquiries remain ongoing at the scene.”

A Prison Service spokesperson added in a statement: “We are aware of an incident at HMP Wakefield which took place this morning. We are unable to comment further while the police investigate.”

Prison guards were said to have been unable to “save” the inmate.

A source told The Sun: “Guards were nearby and raced to the scene pretty quickly – but there was nothing they could do, and they could not save him.

“It was a horrific scene, with blood everywhere and alarms and sirens going off.

“Police and ambulances were called and the whole prison was locked down with all cons confined to their cells.”

Watkins, 48, was jailed in December 2013 for 29 years after admitting to a string of sex offences – including the attempted rape of a fan’s baby.

The disgraced musician was caught in 2012 following the execution of a drugs warrant at his home in Pontypridd, Wales, where a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized by police.

Analysis of the equipment revealed Watkins’ depraved behaviour.

The Welsh singer had previously been stabbed in an incident at the same prison in 2023 and suffered non life-threatening injuries after reportedly being taken hostage by three other inmates for six hours.

Morrissey Cancels Concerts as Canadian Man Is Charged With Online Death Threats Against Him

by jummy84 September 20, 2025

written by jummy84

Canadian authorities have charged a 26-year-old Ottawa man whom they accuse of posting death threats against Morrissey online, the Ottawa Citizen reports. The man, Noah Castellano, is being charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, and he was released from custody on $5,000 bail, according to the report.

According to court documents obtained by the Ottawa Citizen, investigators believe that Castellano is behind a Bluesky post from September 4 that reads: “Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here in Ottawa next week on the evening of September 12th, 2025 at about 9pm, I will be present at the venue in the audience and I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally.”

Morrissey toured the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe earlier this year, and he began his latest North America tour in Montreal on September 10. He played his September 12 show in Ottawa without incident, and continued his tour in Toronto and New York. Nevertheless, he has canceled tonight’s show, in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and tomorrow night’s, in Boston, citing “recent events and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and band.”

Say WHAT?! Florida Woman Charged After Fatal Hit & Run, Kept Driving So She Wouldn’t Be Late To Work

Driver Charged After Leaving Crash To Make It To Work

written by jummy84

A fatal hit-and-run in Florida has people doing double takes—not just because of what happened, but why it allegedly happened. Now, a young woman is facing major charges after a deadly crash. But it’s what she reportedly told investigators that has folks completely baffled. The suspect? Twenty-four-year-old Aliya Cruz, who deputies say hit a pedestrian… and then allegedly kept it pushing to get to work on time.

What Prompted The Investigation?

The tragic incident happened just before 4 a.m. on August 18 in Lakeland, Florida. Deputies with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call reporting a woman lying in the middle of West Highland Street. When first responders arrived, they found 27-year-old Danielle Stilwell dead at the scene. And, found pieces of a damaged car scattered around her body. However, the driver was nowhere to be found.

And that’s when the investigation picked up speed. Detectives launched a full-scale effort to piece together what happened, starting with a broken fender liner found at the scene. It had a part number that allowed them to narrow down the make and model of the vehicle involved. From there, surveillance footage from a nearby Sunoco gas station showed a car matching that description making a U-turn just blocks from where the victim was found. According to authorities, the driver never stopped to assist. When deputies eventually located the vehicle, it was missing the exact parts left behind at the crash site. This led them directly to Aliya Cruz.

Aliya’s Side Of The Story

When confronted, Cruz allegedly admitted to hitting something in the road but said she wasn’t sure if it was a person. She claimed she was blinded by another vehicle’s high beams and didn’t see Stilwell lying in the road. Additionally, Aliya said she swerved into the grass to avoid hitting anyone, but wasn’t confident she cleared her. Instead of stopping to check, Cruz told police she kept driving because she “didn’t want to be late to work.”

But that’s not where the story ends. Investigators later confirmed Cruz clocked in on time for her 4 a.m. shift at a local warehouse. According to one of her supervisors, Cruz even admitted to him that she “might have killed someone,” and reportedly showed him damage to her car. Despite being urged to report the incident to authorities, she hesitated, allegedly responding, “I don’t really want to say anything” and “I know I swerved.”

What’s Next For Aliya Cruz?

Cruz was arrested days later and hit with a first-degree felony charge for leaving the scene of a crash involving death. She bonded out for $50,000 on August 24 and is now waiting for her day in court. The community has been weighing in heavy—and let’s just say, the streets are not feeling her apparent excuse.

Lil Nas X Charged With Four Felonies For Attacking And Injuring Cops

by jummy84 August 26, 2025

written by jummy84

Lil Nas X‘s wild week has reached a very serious point. The 26-year-old artist has been charged with four felonies.

The “Old Town Road” singer first made headlines for being spotted walking around nearly naked on Ventura Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. TMZ reported that the cops were called on him, and when they went to confront him, he got violent and charged the officers.

The police initially suspected that he was high on drugs when they first arrived at the scene. Nas X was taken to a hospital first to check on his health status before being transferred to jail. He was held without bail over the weekend and appeared in front of a judge on Monday morning (Aug. 25).

The pop star has been charged with four felonies by the Los Angeles County District Attorney, one of which is battery with injury of a police officer and resisting a cop. The two-time Grammy winner is set to be arraigned on Monday, and bail would be set during the arraignment.

Musically, Nas X made his grand return to the scene in March. He shared the eight-song project Days Before Dreamboy, highlighted by “Hotbox.” In 2024, he appeared on “Here We Go!” from the soundtrack for the Netflix film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. That same year, he released the highly controversial “J Christ” and linked up with Kevin Abstract for “Tennessee.”

The young star’s record-breaking career includes 11 total Grammy nominations, three Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, five Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits, and 18 total Hot 100 placements. “Old Town Road” spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the. Hot 100 and 45 weeks total on the chart. “Montero” and “Industry Baby” featuring Jack Harlow, his other No. 1’s, spent one week each.
