The singer approached the woman, identified as Chicago-based theatre director Jimalita Tillman, and personally fed her cherries while maintaining close eye contact. The moment drew loud reactions from the audience and was captured in videos that quickly circulated across social media.

Following the viral encounter, Tillman was nicknamed “Auntie Cherry” by social-media users. She later described the experience as spontaneous and enjoyable.

Tillman also dismissed rumours claiming that the incident had caused problems in her marriage, explaining that she was single and did not have a husband seeking a divorce.

The interaction has continued to generate mixed reactions from fans, with some describing it as entertaining while others debated the boundaries of celebrity performances involving audience members.
