Ariana Grande Rushed at ‘Wicked: For Good’ Singapore Premiere by Same Fan Who Charged at The Weeknd and Katy Perry
Commenters quickly identified the fan as Johnson Wen.

Is it really a Wicked press tour if chaos doesn’t click its heels like Dorothy and appear?
Ariana Grande had an unexpectedly dramatic moment on the carpet at the Wicked: For Good Singapore premiere, when a man suddenly sprinted toward her in a now-viral clip that’s been circulating across X, TikTok, and Instagram.
Grande, who was with co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum, was grabbed by multiple security guards as the fan made a beeline straight for her.
Before he could get too close, security and Erivo herself intervened. There are multiple angles of the incident, and Erivo can be seen reacting instantly, stepping toward Grande as guards pulled the man away.
The comments on video quickly identified the rusher as Johnson Wen, an online “personality” whose entire brand seems to be bum-rushing celebrities for attention.
“Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You ❤️," he said in a caption of the moment on his socials.
This wasn’t his first offense, either. Wen has pulled similar stunts with The Weeknd and Katy Perry, proudly uploading the clips as if they were meet-and-greets and not…security breaches.
Under a video of him running onto The Weeknd’s stage, he wrote, “thanks for letting me stay on Stage 🔥.”
In his Katy Perry caption, he thanked her for “letting me Dance on Stage 💙” and called it a childhood dream come true.
One user summed it up best: “Assaulting celebs for 200 likes is crazy."
