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.

Zayn Malik said he truly enjoyed returning to a “pop” sound for his collaboration with BLACKPINK member Jisoo on their track “Eyes Closed.”
The former One Direction singer recently joined her on the ballad and called it a major “honour” to work with someone he considers one of the leading voices “owning that genre” right now.
Speaking while hosting a special hour on BBC Radio 1, he said, “I have drifted away from the pop sound for a bit, so coming back to it with the people who are basically owning that genre at the minute was an honour.”
He added, “If I can say thanks to Jisoo, I am really happy with the way it turned out.”
Zayn also shared that his “cool collaborator” helped him score some serious dad points with his five year old daughter Khai, whom he shares with his former partner, Gigi Hadid.
He wrote on Instagram while posting promo photos from the release, “@sooyaaa__ Jisoo.. you’re an absolute legend, loved every part of this collaboration, thank you for making me the coolest dad around.”
Jisoo replied, “You already are.”
Although he stepped back into pop for “Eyes Closed,” Zayn recently revealed that his next album incorporates influences from Indian music.
The “Pillowtalk” singer confirmed that his fifth studio album will arrive next year and hinted that it will carry a similar spirit to his chart topping 2016 solo debut Mind of Mine.
Zayn was quoted by The Sun’s Bizarre column during a livestream saying, “The next album is soon.”
“I have been working on some cool s*** in South Asian music and bringing those influences into my music as well.”
“It is like pop, R+B, and a lot of Indian influences. The record is like a continuation of Mind of Mine in that sense. I might have some songs coming out in Urdu, too.”
