    Johnson Wen has been kicked out of a Lady Gaga concert weeks after being jailed for charging at Ariana Grande

    Last month, the 26-year-old social media prankster, who is known as Pyjama Man on Instagram, was sentenced to nine days in prison after rushing at Grande during a Wicked: For Good red carpet event in Singapore.


    Now, it's been revealed he was escorted out of Gaga's recent show at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
    In footage stage by other concert goers from the Mayhem Ball gig, the Australian native was seen talking to security before being led out of the venue.
    The show hadn't started when he was forced to leave, and it's unclear what his plans were.
    On his own Instagram Story, Wen wrote: "Got kicked out of Lady Gaga concert!
    "The show doesn't start till 8pm! The early fans were booing me."
    In the past, he has made his name as a stage-crasher, having interrupted shows by the likes of The Weeknd, The Chainsmokers and Katy Perry.
    Last month, he jumped a security barrier, rushed over to Grande and put his arm around the Wicked actress before security and her co-star Cynthia Erivo intervened.
    He pleaded guilty to one charge of being a public nuisance and received a nine day jail sentence.
    According to the Singapore's English-langauge newspaper the Straits Times, he was put on a plane out of the South East Asian country on November 23, and has been barred from re-entering the nation.
    Prosecutors had described Pyjamaman - who had previously carried out similar stunts with the likes of Katy Perry and The Weeknd - as a "serial intruder", and a judge determined he had planned the incident in order to go viral on social media.
    The red carpet crasher had hinted about his plans before the premiere.
    Hee said: "I feel like I'm in a dream.
    "That's my best friend Ariana Grande and I'm going to meet her. I've been dreaming about that."
    Erivo was praised for her quick reactions to the gatecrasher, who she pushed away from Grande and recently explained she acted instinctively in order to protect her pal.
    Speaking on Today, the 38-year-old star previously said of the incident: "I was really thinking, I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe.
    "I’m sure he didn’t mean us harm, but I just, you never know with those things and I wanted to make sure that she was okay. That was my first instinct."
