He further praised SZA who seemingly noticed Bieber’s on-stage energy, lifting his chin high affirming him mid-song. “SZA had to lift him back up with the hand on the chin, like, ‘Hey, not only [are] you important, I see you hurting, but n***a we got to finish this set,” he added.
The “Yummy” crooner then kissed SZA’s palm and hand, eventually twirling around as they moved across the stage. “You can tell he out of it,” Raeon continued.
Another user praised SZA for her handling of the singer.
“What SZA did with Justin Bieber, the chin grab, was such a powerful ‘I got you’ move for a man that you can see is yearning for something deeper who is hurting, whose suffering, whose going through darkness,” @dquan.gandyii added in another TikTok.
“You can see he was so wrapped up in the movement, and the moment and the music— he lost himself. He was so in that moment and she brought him back down to reality. It takes a good yet powerful woman to be able to do something like that.”
Fans took to the comment section to discuss how “sad” and “he’s clearly on something strong.”
Fans said he is going through something, and they hoped he get through what it is because he is precious to many.
Another person wrote, “He was in the middle of a crash out… All we can do is pray for him,” while a third said the performance was “hard to watch.” Others reaffirmed how, “He needs us blk woman right now,” calling SZA an “angel” after, “She did what a real friend would do.”
