Brazilian police have thwarted a bomb plot aimed at Lady Gaga's free concert on Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro, which attracted over 2.5 million attendees. Two individuals were arrested: an adult male in Rio Grande do Sul for illegal weapon possession and a teenager in Rio de Janeiro on child pornography charges. The suspects were part of an online hate group promoting anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and violent acts. They allegedly posed as "Little Monsters" to infiltrate Gaga's fanbase and recruit minors into their network. Authorities conducted raids across multiple states, seizing electronic devices. Despite the arrests occurring just hours before the performance, the show proceeded without incident. Lady Gaga's team was unaware of the threat until media reports surfaced the following day.
