Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro dodged a bomb attack by a group of people posing as her “Little Monsters” fans.

Local authorities claimed a hate group was plotting the vocalization and radicalization of minors through self-harm and violence at Saturday’s concert in Copacabana Beach.

“The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails,” Brazilian police said, per CNN.

Per the police, members of the group claimed they were Gaga’s “Little Monsters” fan base.

Ultimately, investigators received a tip, which led to the uncovering of the group’s plan to encourage violent behavior through “extremist symbolism” and “coded language,” CNN reported.

An unidentified man, assumed to be the group’s leader, was arrested for the illegal possession of a firearm.

A teenager was also detained for alleged possession of child pornography.

Dozens of search warrants were also issued in São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro.

Reps for Gaga, 39, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

A rep for the “Born This Way” singer told TMZ that she and her team found out about the alleged threat when news broke on Sunday morning.

They allegedly weren’t informed by police or told to take precautions despite closely working with law enforcement.

The “Bad Romance” songstress didn’t address the hate plot when she gushed over Saturday night’s concert in Brazil via Instagram.

“Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show—the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil,” she wrote on Sunday.

“The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away,” Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, added.

“I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you. An estimated 2.5 million people came to see me sing, the biggest crowd for any woman in history,” the pop star continued.

Gaga thanked her “little monsters” for their love and support.

“I will never forget this moment. Paws up little monsters. Obrigada. Love, Mother Monster,” she concluded.

The post Lady Gaga’s Rio concert targeted for bomb attack by hate group posing as her ‘Little Monsters’ fans appeared first on Page Six.
