The music stopped. The crowd fell silent. Colombian sensation Maluma transformed from entertainer to concerned father figure in seconds. His Mexico City concert came to an abrupt halt when he spotted something that made his blood boil. A mother clutching her one-year-old baby. No ear protection in sight.
The weekend show became an unexpected parenting lesson. Thousands of fans watched as their idol stepped away from his microphone. He zeroed in on one audience member who had crossed a dangerous line. The “+Pretty +Dirty World Tour” performance suddenly shifted from celebration to confrontation.
Maluma Transforms From Performer to Protective Parent Advocate in Shocking Mexico City Moment
Maluma stopped his Mexico City concert to directly address a mother who brought her young child without proper hearing protection. His voice cut through the venue’s thunderous sound system. “With all due respect… how old are they?” he demanded in Spanish. The answer came back: one year old. His response was swift and uncompromising.
“Do you think it’s a good idea to bring a 1-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this high?” The Colombian star’s frustration mounted with each word. He accused the mother of irresponsibility, saying she was “swinging him around as if he were a toy”. The baby didn’t want to be there, he declared. The message was crystal clear.
Maluma paused mid-show to call out a fan for holding a baby in the crowd, urging, “Protect his ears or something.” The Colombian superstar, a father himself, wasn’t having it. Full story: https://t.co/IGmUghinj6 pic.twitter.com/0mK86cRX9w

Fatherhood had changed everything for Maluma. His daughter Paris Londoño Gomez arrived in March 2024, transforming his perspective on child safety. “Next time, protect their ears or something,” he continued his public scolding. “I’m telling you with all love and respect, now that I’m a father… would never bring them to a concert.” His girlfriend Susana Gomez had given him the greatest gift. Now he was paying it forward.
The incident highlighted a growing trend among celebrity parents speaking out about child welfare. Maluma’s “+Pretty +Dirty World Tour” was scheduled to conclude soon, but this Mexico City moment would define the entire run. His protective instincts had kicked in powerfully. The 31-year-old artist proved that becoming a father doesn’t just change your home life. It transforms how you see the entire world.
