His singles \u201cBack to Friends\u201d and \u201cUndressed\u201d went viral earlier this year, and he\u2019s amassed quite the fan base on and off social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One of those fans is a TikTok user named Meg, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@meganator__\/video\/7561494581523549454\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:whose scathing review;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">whose scathing review<\/a> of Sombr\u2019s show at the The Anthem in Washington, DC has lit up the comment section and prompted a response from the singer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Calling it \u201cone of the worst experiences of my life,\u201d Meg, who says she is 25 years old, explained that she was excited to see Sombr\u2019s The Late Nights &amp; Young Romance Tour, but it ended up being \u201cby far, genuinely, the worst concert I\u2019ve been to in my life, for a multitude of reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She went on to explain that the show, which she attended with her boyfriend, was filled with so many young people that it was \u201cthe closest to a middle school dance I\u2019ve ever been since I was in middle school at a dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe only adults in the room were the parents (of the young concert goers) and then my boyfriend and I,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meg said she tried to stick it out so she could hear her favorite songs, but regretted it as the humor skewed immature \u2013 with Sombr making references to niche memes, including <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/10\/18\/us\/6-7-meme-slang-explained-cec?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:a 6-7 joke;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">a 6-7 joke<\/a> \u2013 and, at one point, did a bit called the \u201cSombr dating show,\u201d where he was solicited participants from the tween-skewing crowd to call their \u201ctoxic ex\u201d while on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Calling the scene \u201ccringe,\u201d Meg also alleged that the artist made jokes that were inappropriate given the average age of the audience. She said she ended up leaving early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Boose seemingly responded to her post in his own <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sombr\/video\/7562803014243863838\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">video<\/a>, referring to the situation as a \u201cTikTok drama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI am a 20-year-old artist \u2013 freshly 20 \u2013 and if you\u2019re 25 years old, and you\u2019re gonna come to my concert and not expect people younger than you to be there when I, the artist, am five years younger than you, it\u2019s just a skill issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He also took umbrage with being attacked for the tone of his jokes, noting that anyone who has followed him online knows that he has \u201cnever uttered a serious word in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAnd, also, I make jokes for 5 minutes of the concert and the rest is music,\u201d Boose said. \u201cLike, live a little, enjoy life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To underscore his latter point, toward the end of his video, he touched what appeared to be some fake grass as a \u201ctutorial.\u201d Telling someone to \u201ctouch grass\u201d is a common social media diss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meg later <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@meganator__\/video\/7562305979044416782\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:responded;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">responded<\/a>, saying that even though she has often posted political content that could cause division, she\u2019s never received as much \u201chate\u201d as she did after posting her Sombr concert review video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">celebrity.land has reached out to both Meg and a representative for Sombr for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For more celebrity.land news and newsletters create an account at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/account\/register?source=external-feeds_iluminar&amp;cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo&amp;registration_email_campaign=https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/newsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:CNN.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">celebrity.land.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A social media standout-turned-music-star has some drama brewing on TikTok, and for those who are not chronically online, we\u2019re here to explain.
