After fans on social media speculated that a concertgoer at Kahan’s Philadelphia show June 26 had defecated on the floor, the singer seemingly addressed the situation.
“If you have to poop at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao,” Kahan wrote in a June 27 post on X. “I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29 year old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that.”
Trying to make light of the situation that took place at his Citizens Bank Park performance, Kahan added in a follow-up post, “I s--t myself onstage in Charlottesville but that’s because I am dedicated to my craft.”
Meanwhile, the alleged incident inspired many fans to detail their issue with concertgoing behavior.
“No song is worth pooping on the ground for,” one fan on Reddit wrote. “I love noah as much as the next person but this is insanity."
Another added, “this is why I don’t f--k with the pit.”
“I love being close and do foolish things to acquire floor tickets,” the fan continued, “but I am simply not standing in another adult’s piss or s--t while also desperately having to pee for 4 hours just to get a good view.”
Kahan is not the only singer as of late to address a smelly circumstance. Olivia Rodrigo recently admitted that she dealt with similar situations during some of her festival performances.
“I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show,” Rodrigo shared during a June 18 appearance on KISS radio show. “That's been an experience of a performer that I have smelled and experienced.”

Baby, Bebe Rexha is gonna have the best f--kin' night of her life no matter what happens.

It was never his intention to injure Ms. RexHa."

Pink thought the fan who randomly passed her a wheel of Brie while she was singing at at London's British Summer Time Festival in 2023 was kinda grate. "What the f--k," the musician said, as she reached for the dairy. "I wanna kiss you on the mouth."But just give us a reason for why another fan tossed a bag of ashes the very next day.

Uh, guys, he warned you. Moments after Kid Cudi told the crowd at his 2022 Rolling Loud set, "Yo, I'm going to walk off this stage, if y'all throw one more f--king thing up here, I will leave," he was pegged with yet another object. So he left.
