Madonna’s Visit to the Slums of Rio

Continuing to show her dedication to starting a children’s charity in Brazil, Madonna spent the day touring one of Rio de Janeiro’s infamous slums alongside state governor Sergio Cabral on Friday (November 13).

Joined by a presidential-level security entourage made up of her own staff and local military police armed to the teeth, the Material Girl has reportedly been causing havoc wherever she goes during her week-long stay in the country.

With media and locals appearing in the hundreds, Madge is said to have “impressed with her friendly demeanor and interest as she toured social projects in the Santa Marta slums.”

The area happens to be part of one of Rio’s infamous ‘favelas’, slums known for violence and drug trafficking - but also for children and families in need.

The previous night, Madonna met with local power players to raise money for her project.

She has also been seen out for dinner with Brazilian boyfriend Jesus Luz and is rumored to have met his mother as their relationship edges towards the year mark.
