Overview
- A man vaulted the barricade on the yellow carpet at Universal Studios Singapore, grabbed Grande, and was quickly separated as Erivo stepped between them and Michelle Yeoh comforted her.
- Authorities identified the intruder as Johnson Wen, known online as “Pyjama Man,” who later shared footage thanking Grande for letting him “jump on the Yellow Carpet.”
- Wen was charged in Singapore with being a public nuisance and appeared in court, with local reports saying he intends to plead guilty and faces a potential fine of up to S$2,000.
- Wen has a record of similar disruptions at high-profile events, including incidents involving Katy Perry, The Weeknd and The Chainsmokers documented on his social media.
- Grande later posted photos captioned “thank you, Singapore,” while public reaction praised Erivo’s swift response, questioned security, and the tour remains scheduled to continue ahead of the Nov. 21 release.
