AceShowbiz - SZA's recent show in Australia didn't go as expected. The "Kill Bill" hitmaker was upset after fans at her Melbourne concert threw items at her onstage, prompting her to scold the crowd.
The incident took place when the 34-year-old performed at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday, April 30. According to reports, items being tossed at the singer included cell phones and shoes.
Upset by the crowd's "crazy" behavior, SZA threatened them, "I will leave," while holding an item thrown at her. She continued, "Do not throw up any cell phones, I'm a person. That's crazy."
The chaos didn't stop there though. There was one attendee who did a handstand in the raised seating area before losing balance and falling onto another audience member. Another clip, meanwhile, showed several security guards trying to control a fan who was involved in a physical fight in the general admission area.
Online users were also annoyed upon learning of the chaotic show. "Melbourne be ruining everything, behaving like their ugly muggy weather," wrote one person, while a second added, "You had one f**king job Melbourne, now she won't want to come back to Australia!"
A third chimed in, "Concert etiquette has gone out the window. Should be ashamed of themselves!" Someone else simply said, "Disgusting."
SZA is currently on her "SOS Tour" and is set to return to the United States for her next set of dates. She is slated to perform in Sacramento, California, on Saturday, May 5, and at Gazebo Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 25 and 26. The Grammy winner will resume overseas dates in June in Spain, France and Portugal.
