SZA, 34, is currently in Australia for her SOS Tour, which will take her worldwide over the course of several months, with the shows set to come to an end in August.
On Tuesday, the star – real name Solana Imani Rowe – performed at the Rod Laver Arena, but had to take a break from the show to address the concertgoers.
SZA’s audience had been throwing objects at the stage, including shoes and cellphones, according to the Daily Mail.
The outlet reported that security also had to break up a scuffle, and drunkenness from the partygoers.
In a clip from the concert shared on TikTok, SZA seemed to have had enough of the behavior, and threatened to leave her own show if it continued.
“If you throw something else, I will leave. Do not throw up any cellphones, I’m a person. That’s crazy… Okay,” she said sadly, as one of her staffers stood next to her on stage.
SZA’s plea came after after stars, such as Bebe Rexha, were forced to seek medical assistance after being hit by objects thrown by their crowds.
FAN FURY
While SZA voiced her emotions at the concert, her fans backed her up in the comment section of the TikTok clip.
“Yeah I heard people kept throwing stuff at her even after she said no it’s quite sad,” one person said.
“I can’t believe people would do that,” said a second.
“So disappointed they did that,” wrote a third fan.
“Honestly don’t understand why fans throw stuff…” another viewer added.
“Come on now she’s not gonna come back,” said a fifth.
“Concert etiquette has gone out the window. Should be ashamed of themselves,” one person slammed.
I encourage everyone to delete anything anyone and everything that doesn’t serve you.

“If she yelled at me like this I would cry omg,” another commenter wrote.
TAKING TIME
This isn’t the first time SZA has made it clear that she’s willing to place firm boundaries in place.
Back in May 2022, the star confirmed that she was ditching TikTok to raise awareness for mental health, and branded the whole internet as “demonic.”
“Get off the internet. The internet is demonic,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time.
“I deleted my TikTok for mental health awareness month. I encourage everyone to delete anything anyone and everything that doesn’t serve you. Bless,” she concluded.
The star has now returned to TikTok, and is very active on social media.
