SZA Threatens To Leave Melbourne Concert Amid Chaotic, Rowdy Crowd Behavior

At her April 30 concert in Melbourne, Australia, SZA was so shaken by the audience's rowdy behavior she threatened to leave the stage, according to Us Weekly.

The Grammy-winning singer was at the receiving end of shoes, cellphones, and other objects thrown onstage by fans. A fight in the general admission area had to be broken up by security.

"I will leave," SZA told the crowd. "Do not throw up any cell phones, I'm a person. That's crazy."

The publication also reported that a fan did a handstand in the seats at the Rod Laver Arena. Eventually, the fan showing off their gymnastic skills lost balance and fell onto another audience member.

The Daily Mail uploaded a video of SZA speaking about the crowd's behavior.

Fans quickly took to their social media to express how bad they feel for the performer.

"heard someone threw a phone and a shoe at sza in melbourne. what is wrong with you guys??" a user complained on X, formerly Twitter.

"melbourne girls got to be number one most ratchet coz why are u fighting at a sza concert ... PLS UR EMBARRASSING US IN FRONT OF HER," another shared.

"SZA addressing the Melbourne crowd to stop throwing things on stage or she will leave the show altogether Harry needs to address the same except allowing those idiots throw things at him It's so dangerous," one tweeted.
