Music icon stops concert to shame parent for 'irresponsible' act in front of crowd of 26,000 fans
Colombian rapper Maluma halted his Mexico City gig to reprimand a parent for an 'irresponsible' act in front of a crowd of 26,000 fans. The music icon, 31, took to the stage at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City last week for his + Pretty + Dirty World Tour. But Maluma paused his show midway through to call an audience member who had brought their child along. The rapper, whose real name Juan Luis Londoño Arias, shamed the parent for taking their one-year-old to such a loud gig - and without ear protection. Speaking to the parent in Spanish, Maluma asked: '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***ing high? Where the sound is this loud?' Maluma went on to say: '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 [I] would never bring them to a concert. For the next time, be a bit more aware.' Fans praised Maluma for the call out, writing on social media: 'This is really important and i hope raises awareness- there's a serious lack of education when it comes to hearing protection even for adults at concerts :/ take care of your ears, friends,'; 'Protecting fans, especially the most vulnerable, should always come before the performance, and he made that crystal clear,'; 'Respect for maluma for speaking up babies need protection too some people just dont think about it hope that mom listens and learns,'; 'I LOVE this… why tf is your baby at a loud concert packed with screaming adults for hours being treated like an accessory. there's a time and place,'; 'Good on Maluma for speaking up, protecting a child's safety should come first,'; 'Respect him for saying something instead of ignoring it, what is wrong with people omgg,'; 'Good for Maluma! Babies' ears are incredibly sensitive and concerts can cause permanent damage. Parenting isn't always about what you want.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gerudito (@gerudito) The average decibels of a music concert can range from 94 – 110 dB, levels which can cause long-term damage to a person's hearing after just two minutes of exposure. Audiologist Hannah Samuels at Boots Hearingcare said she understands why Maluma spoke out and why he was right to have raised concerns. 'Bringing a very young child to a loud concert without hearing protection is risky and potentially very harmful,' she said. 'Prolonged exposure to loud music can permanently damage the delicate structures of the inner ear and cause hearing loss and tinnitus. Because hearing loss is progressive and doesn't hurt, people often don't notice issues until they're quite significant, and often irreversible. 'Children's ears are even more sensitive than adults' as the ear canal is smaller, so sound pressure is higher, and their auditory system is still developing. That means loud noises can cause more harm, more quickly, which is why hearing protection for children should be non-negotiable at concerts, festivals, and even some sports events. 'We urge parents to treat ear protection like sun cream, something you always lather on before letting your child out in the sun. We recommend earplugs or defenders with filters that reduce sound levels while still allowing you to enjoy the music. They should be worn by both parents and their children whenever decibel levels are expected to be high in order to protect your hearing in the long run.' Maluma welcomed daughter Paris Londono Gomez with his girlfriend, architect Susana Gomez, last year. The couple revealed they were expecting in the music video for Maluma's song Procura 'On March 9th at 8:23 A.M. the love of our lives Paris Londoño Gomez was born. Thank you all for your birthday messages and well wishes...,' he began as he announced the birth. 'Serena Love: Thank you for fulfilling my biggest dream of being a Father, I will never forget that moment. I love them,' he gushed in Spanish. Maluma and Serena have been dating since 2020 – and announced they were having a baby in October 2023 in his music video for Procura. The music video featured footage of the couple's pregnancy journey, including the first look at Susana's growing baby bump.

Rapper stops concert to scold mother for 'irresponsible' act with baby
A rapper has paused his concert to call out a mother who he urged to be 'responsible' when it came to her baby. Colombian rapper and singer Maluma released his debut album in 2012, but found success three years later with Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy and its follow up's F.A.M.E. and 11:11. The performer – real name Juan Luis Londoño Arias – has sold more than 18 million records and is one of the best-selling Latin music artists. He's also collaborated with Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin. He is currently on his +PRETTY +DIRTY TOUR, however Maluma stopped a recent show after being shocked seeing a baby in the mosh pit. While playing in Mexico City, he paused his performance and started speaking to a woman in the crowd as the stadium fell quiet. 'Don't bring it leave it there [at home]. With all due respect I am already a father. How old is it? One?' he said, as captured in videos taken at the show. 'Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to where the decibels and sound is really hard. Next time protect his ears of something. 'The truth is that this is an act of responsibility, and you are swinging him like a toy. That child does not want to be here. With all due respect, since I am a dad, I would never have brought him to a concert. Next time be a little more conscious ok.' After footage was shared online, many weighed in on whether if he'd taken the right approach confronting the mother in front of thousands. 'Every mother knows what she has to do with her child. If not, they should limit the capacity to a certain age. What's the point in putting her through that in front of so many people?' user Lpeznerea commented on TikTok. 'Was it necessary to embarrass her while he was receiving applause?' Bri Rodriguez wrote. 'He's on stage waiting to receive applause while he humiliates his fan. I don't think that's the way,' Ricarda shared. 'Even if you're right about what you're saying, I don't think it's right to shame a parent in front of thousands of people. You could have posted a message on your social media afterward without having to single the person out,' crockett added. However, others said they agreed with voicing his concerns. Audiologists have warned that prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 decibels can cause permanent hearing damage. Concerts often exceed 100 decibels, a level that can be harmful within minutes. This is especially for children, whose ears are more sensitive as their ear canals are smaller, which can amplify the impact of loud noises. Without protection, they face an increased risk of noise-induced hearing loss, which is irreversible. It's recommended that children wear ear protection such as ear plugs, muffs or noise cancelling headphones, which can reduce sound levels by up to 30 decibels. 'Who would even think of taking a baby? If you have a baby and no one to leave it with, then you don't go. I totally agree with him,' Puri shared. 'Maluma is right, it's not a place for a baby. The organisers and security are the ones really responsible. They shouldn't have let a baby in,' carmencubedo explained. Maluma, 31, shares one-year-old daughter Paris with girlfriend Susana Gómez. Speaking to Allure last year about becoming a father, he explained how 'everything changed'. More Trending 'I love it. Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. I know I have to f***ing kill it. 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,' he said. After Mexico City, his tour will continue across Latin America, the US, and Europe. Since rising to fame Maluma has won a Latin Grammy Award, an MTV Video Music Award, two Latin American Music Awards, and been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. Got a story?
