This performer exchanged his microphone for parenting tips during a performance.
Fans and social media users had differing opinions about Colombian artist Maluma’s decision to interrupt his performance in Mexico City in order to confront a mother who had brought a child without ear protection.
According to the New York Post, the 31-year-old performer, who is presently on his +Pretty +Dirty World Tour, halted his song in the middle of it after noticing a one-year-old among the 26,000 people in the audience.
Do you believe that taking a one-year-old infant to a concert with decibel levels this f–king loud is a smart idea? Maluma questioned the mom. That infant is completely clueless about its purpose in this place.
The Farandulera singer, whose real name is Juan Luis Londo o Arias, chastised the mother’s choice and underlined the value of shielding kids’ ears during performances.
He remarked, “You’re waving them around like they’re toys.” That baby really doesn’t want to be there.
In regard to his own parenting style, Maluma—who became a father in March 2024 to his daughter Paris with fiancée Susana G. Mez—said he would never take his child to a concert.
Social media reactions to the incident, which was caught on aerial video, were mixed. Some applauded Maluma’s intervention, while others chastised him for publicly confronting the mother.
One social media user commented, “I don’t think it’s right to shame a parent in front of thousands of people, even if you’re right about what you’re saying.”
Others suggested that venue security should have prevented an infant from attending the concert, citing their obligation.
Maluma talked about how becoming a father has changed his life in a recent Allure interview.
He claimed that everything had changed. I now wake up every day wanting to take over the world. I’m aware that I must f–king kill it.
