Maluma stopped his concert to reprimand a fan who had brought along a baby.
The 31-year-old singer was performing in Mexico City over the weekend when he noticed an infant in the audience without ear protection, prompting him to accuse the tot's mom of treating her child "like they're a toy" and insisting he would never take his daughter Paris, 17 months, to a concert at such a young age.
In a video shared on X and translated from Spanish by Variety, the Colombian performer said: 'With all due respect… how old are they? A year old? Less? A year.
"Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f****** high?"
"Where is the sound this loud? That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here.
"Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. It's heavy. It's your responsibility.
"You're waving them around like they're a toy. That baby doesn't want to be there, for real. I'm telling you with all love and respect, now that I'm a father… would never bring them to a concert.
"For the next time, be a bit more aware."
The Sobrio singer - whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias - previously spoke of how much he loves the way his life has changed sine girlfriend Susana Gomez gave birth to their daughter.
He told Allure last year: "Everything changed. And I love it.
"Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. I know I have to f****** kill it."
And Maluma has vowed to set the best example possible to his little girl.
He said: "For Paris, nothing is impossible. You have to lead by example.
"I go to bed every night that I can at 9 and wake up at 5:30 to hit the gym because I want to be healthy. You want to live forever for your kids. I want to make her proud."
The 'Hawái ' hitmaker also noted that while the "essence" of his image of a bad boy on stage still remains, he is "more mature" since becoming a dad and is managing to find the balance between his public persona and family life, even though it can be "difficult" at times.
He said: "It's still the same essence, but more mature I would say, and more chill. I'm just vibing. I'm having fun being with my family, but I'm also having fun being onstage. I'm doing things that I love, and finally, I feel like I'm on the right path. It's difficult to find that balance, but I'm there. I'm there and working for it."
