Colombian singer and rapper Maluma interrupted his concert in Mexico City on Friday to address a fan who brought a one-year-old baby to the event without ear protection.

The father-of-one paused his performance and started speaking in Spanish to a woman — presumed to be the baby’s mother — in the crowd as the stadium fell quiet.

The 31-year-old artist expressed concern for the child’s safety, citing the risks posed by high decibel levels at concerts.

“Ma’am, I’m going to tell you something. Don’t bring him here, leave him there,” he said from the stage.

“With all due respect, I am already a father.

“What’s he? A one-year-old? 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?

“That baby doesn’t even know what it’s doing here. Next time, protect their ears or something.

“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.”

After the footage was shared on TikTok, many weighed in on whether he had taken the right approach confronting the mother in front of thousands of fans.

“So did he help her out and get the baby some damn headphones?!?” one person commented on the video.

“Good for him. That’s some bad parenting,” another said.

“Totally inappropriate to have a baby without protection but totally inappropriate to single her out like that too. I hate preachy performers,” a social media user commented.

The singer, who shares one-year-old daughter Paris with his partner, Susana Gómez, added he would never bring his child to a live show under such conditions.

Speaking to Allure magazine in July last year, Maluma — who also starred in singer and actress Jennifer Lopez’s romantic comedy Marry Me — revealed how life had changed after welcoming his first child.

“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 nine 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.”
