Brazilian police allegedly disrupt a violent conspiracy to explode explosives at a record-breaking free concert by Lady Gaga, which attracted an estimated 2 million fans in Rio de Janeiro over the weekend.
The two were arrested on Sunday on suspicion of a planned attack, according to state police in Rio de Janeiro. This was reportedly planned by a radical group that promoted hate speech against the LGBTQ+ community.
Officials said the group was seeking to recruit teens online and encouraged them to participate in the violence using Molotov cocktails and homemade explosives.

Investigators said that members of the group appeared as “Little Monster,” the loving name of Lady Gaga’s fanbase, in order to manipulate and seduce young people into online circles.
The suspect was taken on charges of illegal possession of a weapon. Police operations included attacks in multiple states and seizing phone calls and electronic devices from 15 people.
Officials said they quietly intervened on the day of the concert to avoid mass panic. Interestingly, despite alleged planned attacks… the authorities didn’t stop Gaga from playing… her show was still ongoing.
We contacted the Lady Gaga representative for comments… No words so far.
