Chappell Roan appears to be off the setlist at Brazil’s Todo Mundo No Rio, a festival that markets itself as “the world’s largest dance floor,” forever after viral reports of an altercation between her security and a young fan.
Eduardo Cavaliere, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, where the festival is set to take place later this year, took to X today to issue his proclamation, writing in Portuguese, “I mean that as long as I’m in charge of our city – this young lady will never perform at Todo Mundo no Rio!”
So far, Shakira is the only confirmed artist for this year’s event, set to headline at Copacabana on May 2, but it looks like if Chappell was under consideration, it’s off the table now.
Quero dizer que enquanto eu estiver à frente da nossa cidade – esta moça @ChappellRoan jamais se apresentará no Todo Mundo no Rio ! Duvido que a Shakira @shakira @Shakira_Brasil faria isso ! Aliás, @FrelloJorginho a sua pequena já é convidada de honra da organização em Maio! https://t.co/eASsS7Y3Ix

Chappell Roan’s Security Reportedly Accused a Young Fan of ‘Harassment’
The pop star is currently in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil, and according to Jorginho Frello, a Brazilian soccer player, her security guard got a little fresh with him and his daughter ahead of her set on March 21.
The athlete took to his Instagram Story to document the incident, which took place in the restaurant of their shared hotel. Frello and his daughter were in town to see her perform, with the young girl so “extremely excited” that she even made a sign for the concert. The two reportedly saw the “Pink Pony Club” songstress at breakfast, but refrained from directly approaching her to say hello.
However, his daughter passed by the table which Chappell was sitting at, apparently looking to catch a better glimpse to know for sure if it was her or not. Frello wrote that she smiled at the singer before returning to her own table with her mom. Not long after, a member of the star’s security team apparently approached the two, speaking “extremely aggressively” to his daughter as he accused her of “disrespect” and “harassment.”
Her Dad, a Brazilian Athlete, Shared She Was ‘Super Scared’ After the Encounter
“My daughter got super scared and cried a lot,” Frello wrote. “Honestly, I don’t know in what world just passing by a table and looking… can be considered harassment.”
The incident comes amid much scrutiny against the singer, who is often criticized for her takes on fame and reactions to paparazzi and fans alike approaching her. “Without your fans you would be nobody,” he addressed her directly. “And to the fans, she does not deserve your affection.”
Mayor Cavaliere also wrote to Frello on the social media platform, telling him, “…your little one is already the guest of honor from the organization in May!”
Frello appears to have accepted the offer on behalf of his daughter, responding to the politician with a pair of red heart emojis: “♥️♥️.”
