Johnson Wen, who was arrested for grabbing Ariana Grande in Singapore during the promotion of Grande's Wicked: For Good, has been identified and ejected from Lady Gaga's Brisbane concert.

The 26-year-old Australian man went viral last month when he jumped over the barricades and grabbed the Wicked star as she was walking by. Wen was arrested shortly after the incident and sentenced to nine days in jail for being a public nuisance. Afterwards, Wen took to Instagram to share a video of the incident, with the caption:

"Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me jump on the Yellow Cartpet with you (red heart emoji)"

When news about Wen being removed from Gaga's concert made waves online, netizens took to the comment section to express their reactions. Users found Wen's plans funny. A user (@erenfromtargets) highlighted Wen's efforts at wearing a disguise:

"not him trying to wear a disguise"

Another user (@juliasaywhut) commented on Wen's failed disguise:

"Bro really thought a fake mustache could outsmart security 💀💀 Spy Kids 6 when?"

Another user (@TasteLabsAI) highlighted that Wen is treating concerts like missions:

"wild how some people treat concerts like missions instead of moments"

Another user (@yuzu_rain517) insinuated that Ariana Grande notified her celeb friends:

"I just KNOW that ariana definitely pinged all of her friends whose gonna tour/do red carpet press in the SEA 😭"

Another user (@HitsAndCharts) expressed that Wen should be locked up forever:

"lock him up forever please"

"I'm planning to quit forever": says Johnson Wen after crashing Ariana Grande's concert

Johnson Wen, also known as "Pyjama Man" online, is known for crashing high-profile events. Earlier, he had crashed Katy Perry's Sydney concert in June and was charged with entering enclosed lands and obstructing a person during the performance. While talking to 9News earlier this year, Wen discussed his hobby and said:

"I'm planning to quit forever because you get in way too much trouble for it, especially me, because I've done it so many times."

On his Instagram account, Wen describes himself as "Troll Most Hated."

In October 2025, Wen showed up at The Weeknd's Melbourne concert at Marvel Stadium and attempted to hug the artist before he was grabbed and pulled away by security.

Wen has also been banned from the Olympic Park precinct for the last six months.
