During his weekend show in Mexico City, superstar rapper Maluma stopped the performance to scold a fan for bringing their baby son to a concert, saying:
“Ma’am, I’m going to tell you something. Don’t bring him here; leave him there. With all due respect, I’m already a father. What’s he? A year old?” “Do you think it’s a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are really loud, where the sound is really loud?” “Your baby doesn’t even know what he’s doing here. Next time, protect his ears or something. That’s really irresponsible, and you were waving the baby around like he was a toy. That kid really doesn’t want to be there.”
Sharing a 17-month-old daughter with his girlfriend Susana Gómez, the Columbian singer/songwriter added that he “would never” bring his child to a concert. “So next time, be a little more aware,” he said.
It wasn’t long before a video of the interaction went viral, and expressing mixed responses, some fans praised the singer for bringing awareness to the issue while others were quick to call out Maluma for “embarrassing” his fan.
