SZA was in Phoenix for a bit of a meet and greet on Wednesday afternoon. All seemed to be going well. However, one fan who seemingly did not think things through threw their bracelet at her. Based on one of the angles, it does not seem like the fan intended to cause any harm. The fan likely wanted her to have it.
Unfortunately for the fan, the hit from the bracelet caused SZA to leave the event with no hesitation. This is the latest instance of a fan throwing an object at a fan. However, it is far from the only instance.
Fans may recall Kid Cudi being hit with a water bottle at Rolling Loud Miami in 2022. That incident caused him to cut his set short. Coincidentally, Billie Eilish had a necklace thrown at her while she was on stage in Glendale back in December of last year.
Fans found the incident funny, especially because it did not seem to be anything done with the intent of harming SZA. Some pointed out that she even chose to keep the bracelet.
Others showed their disappointment in the fan. The prevailing sentiment with those is that throwing the bracelet was unnecessary. "Y'all ain't gonna be happy until one of these celebs run a fade with y'all," said one of the top comments.
SZA was in Phoenix because the most recent stop on her and Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour saw them perform at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale. It seemed that she wanted to do something nice for her fans, but the fans quickly showed why they can't always have nice things. Hopefully, Phoenix gets a chance to redeem themselves in the future.

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.
If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.
On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.
It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.
While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.
He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”
That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.
Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.
The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
