Lady Gaga breaks her silence after bomb threat at her concert on Copacabana Beach in Brazil


According to official data, 2.1 million people attended the American pop icon's free show at the Brazilian city on Saturday, May 2.

Local police said the plot was orchestrated by a group promoting hate speech and the radicalization of teenagers, including self-harm and violent content as a form of 'social belonging.' 'The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails,' the police said in a statement. The Poker Face singer's concert was paid for by the city in an attempt to revitalize Rio's economy as it is estimated it could bring in nearly $100 million.
