A pop controversy has hit a high note in Rio de Janeiro—and it’s anything but harmonious.
Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere has effectively declared a “no Roan zone,” vowing that Chappell Roan won’t be taking the stage at the city’s splashy music spectacle, Todo Mundo no Rio, anytime soon.
The drama stemmed from a not-so-glam encounter involving Jorginho Frello, who alleged that a member of Roan’s security team got a little too intense with his wife, Catherine Harding, and her daughter, Ada Law.
According to Jorginho, the interaction crossed the line into “extremely aggressive” territory—definitely not the kind of backstage energy anyone ordered.
Enter the mayor, who didn’t just weigh in—he dropped the mic.
Taking to social media, Cavaliere declared that as long as he’s running the city, Roan won’t be performing at the beachside bash. He even threw in a bit of pop shade, suggesting he doubts someone like Shakira would find herself in the same situation.
In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, the mayor also invited Ada Law as a guest of honor to the next show—an offer that Jorginho happily acknowledged.
For context, “Todo Mundo no Rio” (literally, “Everyone in Rio”) isn’t your typical drawn-out festival. It’s a one-night, once-a-year megaconcert held every May, where millions flock to Copacabana Beach for a single, star-powered spectacle. Past headliners include Madonna and Lady Gaga, with Shakira next in line to keep the party going.
As for Roan, she’s yet to respond—but in Rio, the message is loud and clear: this is one invite that’s been officially revoked.
