The clip stirred buzz on social media, with many users expressing disgust over the fan’s action, while others praised the security guard and suggested he needs to get a raise.
Dua Lipa Unforgettably Endured Weird Fan Interactions in the Past
Lipa held several concerts worldwide, and while she’s had an amazing time singing to her fans, the pop star also has had her fair share of scary and awkward interactions. In 2021, she was nearly attacked by a crowd of fans in Mexico.
In a clip shared on Twitter, Lipa was seen coming out of a building after finishing a shoot for a Yves Saint Laurent campaign. She waved to the crowd until a group of people came rushing at her. The security had to push them away. The star was reportedly left shaken after the incident.

In 2024, Lipa was approached by a fan at Glastonbury festival who asked her to listen to his song, accompanied by a ukulele. The singer looked visibly bored and wanted to get out of the scene. Still, she stayed until the guy finished his song out of respect, then scurried away.

Lipa has been very generous with her fans, and she makes sure they are having a good time while attending her concert. It’s a good thing that, during cases like these, she remains calm and composed, handling it like a pro.
