A recent video from a Colombian singer-rapper Maluma concert has been circulating online. It shows the star pausing his show to call out a fan in the crowd. The reason? A woman had brought her one-year-old child to the loud event without any ear protection.
As soon as Maluma spotted the tiny concertgoer, he stopped singing. He then spoke directly to the woman. He explained why bringing such a young child to a concert is dangerous. It was a firm, yet clearly heartfelt, message to a fan.
The incident happened during Maluma’s concert in Mexico City. According to a report from People magazine, Maluma called the woman closer to the stage. He took a moment from his performance to address the situation. He asked the woman in Spanish, “How old are they? One year old? Less? One year old?” His concern was clear for everyone to see and hear.

Maluma continued to explain the risks involved. The video of his stern yet caring advice quickly spread across the internet. Fans and others are praising the rapper for taking a stand. Variety reported that Maluma questioned the woman, saying, “Do you think it would be right to take a one-year-old child to a concert where the decibels are so high? Where is such a loud noise coming from? That child doesn’t even know what they are doing here?”
The “Hawái” hitmaker gave the woman a clear warning. “Next time, protect the child’s ears. This is your responsibility,” he stated. He added, “You are holding that child at the concert as if they were a toy. That child truly does not want to be there.” Maluma spoke from the heart, emphasizing his point with a personal touch. “I am telling you this with full love and respect,” he said. “Now that I am a father… I would never bring them to any concert. Be a little more careful next time.”
Maluma’s words resonated deeply because he recently became a dad himself. In 2024, he and his girlfriend, Susana Gomez, welcomed their first child, a daughter. This new experience clearly shaped his strong feelings about child safety at loud events. Many online users agreed with Maluma’s actions, with most commenting, “He is doing the right thing.” His quick intervention highlights the importance of keeping children safe in all environments, especially boisterous concert halls.
