(Video) Colombian Singer Maluma Calls Out Mother For Bringing Her Baby To His Concert
Ultimately, it's the responsibility of parents to assess whether a concert is safe for their child and to take appropriate measures if they choose to bring them. However, that isn't always the case. One recent example unfolded during Maluma's '+Pretty +Dirty' world tour in Mexico City, where the singer interrupted his own performance to address a situation he couldn't ignore.
In the middle of his set, Maluma noticed a woman in the audience holding a baby, who the singer later learned was no older than one year. Concerned, he paused the show and spoke directly to the mother. As a father to a young child himself, he expressed disbelief and frustration, pointing out the harm such a loud environment could cause to a baby's developing ears.
'That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here,' Maluma said to the mother. 'Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. It's heavy. It's your responsibility.' His words were met with applause and cheers from the audience, many of whom supported his stance.
The clip of the exchange quickly went viral, spreading far beyond Maluma's fan base. Many netizens echoed his concerns, highlighting a growing issue: while parents deserve time to unwind and enjoy themselves, that freedom shouldn't come at the expense of a child's safety. Whether it's bringing them to a concert without ear protection to putting them onto the stage, no moment of entertainment is worth compromising a child's well-being.
More than just a viral moment, this incident served as a powerful reminder that fun and responsibility can, and should, coexist. Parents can still enjoy experiences like concerts, but it's essential to remain aware and ensure that their choices don't inadvertently put their children at risk.

Sony Music unveils new singer Nazu, who brews up a fresh flavour with debut single 'Kopi'
The country's top record label, Sony Music Malaysia, proudly unveils a fresh face in the local music scene: Nazu, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter who brings something new and refreshing to the table. Marking her official debut under the international label, Nazu unveils her self-written single 'KOPI', a dreamy, easygoing pop tune that speaks directly to the hearts of today's listeners. 'I wrote this song just for fun back in secondary school. I never imagined it would become my first official single one day. It's honest, chill, and reflects who I am as a singer,' says Nazu, about the song that marks the beginning of her artistic journey. From TikTok To The Recording Studio Nazu, whose real name is Nor Azureen Saharin, began singing at the young age of seven, influenced by family members who also shared a love for music. However, her musical journey took a real turn when her TikTok cover of the song 'Masa' went viral — racking up over a million views in just one week. That was the moment everything changed. 'When that video took off, I felt more confident about sharing my music. And when Sony Music offered me a recording deal, I was just overwhelmed with gratitude. This is a dream come true!' she shares. Now a full-time singer, Nazu is ready to take her next steps as one of Malaysia's most exciting new voices. 'KOPI' – Fictional, But Relatable Set against the relaxed backdrop of a cosy café, KOPI tells the whimsical story of a shy, daydreaming girl who catches the attention of a stranger. Though fictional, the story is filled with Nazu's signature charm and character. 'It's about a lonely girl who loves to daydream, hangs out at cafés, and is a huge coffee lover. Then suddenly, a guy takes an interest in her. And that's how the lyric idea came about — 'suka matcha atau suka kopi, kalau pilih kopi, baik kopi-lih aku' (do you prefer matcha or coffee? If it's coffee, you better choose me),' Nazu laughs. 'I like writing cheeky, playful lines, so I thought — why not write a song with a pick-up line?' Collaboration With Fahimi & Ezra Kong Produced by acclaimed music producer Ezra Kong, the track also features rising singer and content creator Fahimi, who lends his vocals and co-wrote parts of the lyrics. 'Fahimi helped build my confidence in the studio, while Ezra guided me through arrangements and lyrical choices. As my first-ever studio recording, the experience was incredibly valuable,' Nazu recalls. Despite being a newcomer, Nazu completed the entire recording process in just two smooth sessions. Shaping Her Own Sound As a young artist, Nazu is not limiting herself to any one genre. Instead, she views every release as a journey of self-discovery. 'I'm still figuring out my musical identity, but one thing I know for sure is that I want my songs to have personality and soul. I want to sound like me — not like anyone else,' she said. Still, navigating the industry at a young age comes with its own set of challenges. 'There are times I feel unsure about speaking up for what I like or don't like, but I'm lucky to have the support of my family and the amazing team at Sony Music who always encourage me,' she adds. Next Steps & Hopes For 'KOPI' Nazu is already working on her next single, with the writing process currently underway. 'I'm writing something new right now and hope to bring a different vibe with my next release. But most importantly, I want to stay true to myself in every song,' she shares. For now, she hopes KOPI will strike a chord with listeners. 'I hope this song makes people feel calm or even smile to themselves. Whether you're feeling down, in love, or just need a pick-me-up — this one's for you. I'm so thankful to everyone who's supported me from the start,' says Nazu with heartfelt gratitude. NOTE: 'KOPI' is now available on all major digital streaming platforms, including Spotify, Joox, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

Pope Leo's message to digital missionaries
It's doubly significant for Filipinos, who spend 3.5 hours daily on social media, far longer than the world average of 2.33 hours Aug 12, 2025 This file photo shows Philippine priest Father Paul Woo (second from right) learning a dance from the video-sharing platform TikTok from youth members of a social communication ministry of his parish in Navotas City, suburban Manila. Pope Leo XIV recently reminded participants of the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers in the Vatican of the challenges of their mission. (Photo: AFP) By Ruben C. Mendoza In today's digital world, it is easy to lose sight of what is essential in life. The advances in technology have made life so convenient in many ways, but they have also brought their own set of problems. The virtual world makes it so tempting to base one's and another person's worth on the number of one's followers in social media or the number of 'likes' or other positive emojis that one receives for one's post. Many young gamers spend too much time online that their only 'relationships' are virtual ones. They no longer know what it means to talk to another person face to face, look into each other's eyes, be sensitive to the other's body language, read the other's facial expression, touch each other if need be, and genuinely laugh or be sad at each other's experience. They instead simply type emojis or write 'LOL,' 'ROFL,' or 'LMAO.' In the wrong hands, social media can easily be manipulated to promote vested interests that don't really contribute to or promote human flourishing. Pope Leo XIV, on July 31, gave a speech to participants of the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers in the Vatican. He reminded them of three challenges of their mission. First, they are called 'to nourish Christian hope in social networks and online spaces,' proclaiming the peace of Christ not only in conflict areas but also in spaces where people are bereft of hope. Second, they are to 'always look for the 'suffering flesh of Christ' in every brother and sister you encounter online.' This, I think, is challenging and demands a willingness to encounter the other and enter into the messiness of the other person's life. In a world influenced by science and technology, for Pope Leo, 'nothing that comes from man [sic] and his creativity should be used to undermine the dignity of others. Our mission — your mission — is to nurture a culture of Christian humanism, and to do so together.' This is noteworthy given the prevailing cancel culture of many on social media, a phenomenon that does not promote genuine encounter and dialogue. And third, just as Jesus called his disciples as they were mending their nets, Pope Leo told the participants that they are similarly called by Jesus to weave other nets: 'networks of relationships, of love, of gratuitous sharing where friendship is profound and authentic; networks where we can mend what has been broken, heal from loneliness, not focus on the number of followers, but experience the greatness of infinite Love in every encounter; networks that give space to others more than to ourselves, where no 'bubble' can silence the voices of the weakest; networks that liberate and save; networks that help us rediscover the beauty of looking into each other's eyes; networks of truth. In this way, every story of shared goodness will be a knot in a single, immense network: the network of networks, the network of God.' The Philippines has been dubbed the texting capital of the world, and despite ongoing issues of internet connectivity, the country also ranks high in terms of internet usage. Filipinos spend 3.5 hours daily on social media, far longer than the world average of 2.33 hours. This is why the pope's reminders are doubly significant. Because of the internet, there is now greater interaction between people of different cultures from all over the world, mutually influencing and even challenging one another. Such encounters lead to questions about the things in one's culture that one is used to. On the one hand, that might lead to the uncritical acceptance of a culture as the norm or standard for others — a kind of cultural imperialism. On the other hand, it might also lead to something positive. It can make one question unchallenged assumptions about one's personal life, cultural traditions, and social life, which can lead to the dismantling of sinful social structures and to the creation of just and inclusive ones. Filipinos, especially those who are 'chronically online,' join various online networks for various reasons. It may be that they share common interests in that group, have the same advocacies, or have a history together. While social media enables us to be more connected virtually, the flipside is that Facebook, TikTok, or other platforms have been used and continue to be used as a weapon to denigrate one's perceived enemies and spread disinformation. What Pope Leo does is to remind us that just like any other scientific and technological development and advancement, there are limits to how one uses it. It is not the 'I have the freedom to do it' attitude that must prevail in the online world or the bigger world, for that matter. Influencers ought to use their capital in ways that promote human dignity and well-being. In a VUCA (i.e. characterized by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) world, there is all the more need to weave networks that contribute to the healing of persons and their relationships, liberate people from sinful social structures and systems, provide for the needs of all and promote quality of life for all, and respect ecological integrity. In fishing, one needs not only patience and persistence, but one must also know how to cast the net, tie knots, and read the weather, the waters, and fish. Similarly, evangelization in the virtual world — the creation of networks that safeguard and promote life — is a gradual process that needs patience and persistence, sensitivity to its various actors, a certain degree of tech savviness, and the capacity to adjust and adapt to the signs of the times. Hopefully, when we cast our nets into the deep, it will be done with more intentionality, not to simply catch any kind of fish that is out there, but to catch those whom God desires in God's
