A controversy involving pop singer Chappell Roan and soccer player Jorginho escalated after Rio De Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere declared that the artist would not be invited to perform at the city’s flagship Copacabana Beach concert “as long as he’s in charge.”

Jorginho claimed in an Instagram story that a member of Chappell Roan’s security team behaved inappropriately toward his 11-year-old daughter during a recent encounter.

Jorginho alleged that Chappell Roan sent a security officer to accuse his daughter of harassing and disrespecting her while they were dining at the same São Paulo hotel.

The soccer player explained that his daughter simply walked past the singer’s table, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum, but a large security guard approached them and spoke in an “extremely aggressive manner”.

Cavaliere's intervention has garnered attention as he declared on X that the pop sensation will never play at Todo Mundo no Rio and invited Jorginho's daughter to be an honored guest at the upcoming performance in May.
