Maluma is looking out for little ears. **
The "Hawái" singer, 31, paused his concert at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City over the weekend to reprimand a mother for bringing her baby to the show without proper ear protection. **
"With all due respect… how old are they?" Maluma asked the mom in Spanish from the stage, per video footage from the event shared on social media and translated by *Variety*. "A year old? Less? A year."

He continued, "Do you think it's a good idea to bring a 1-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f---ing high? Where is the sound this loud? That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here." **
Maluma, whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias, emphasized to the mom that it was important that her child wear hearing protection at concerts moving forward. **
"Next time, protect their ears or something. For real," he said. "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."

He explained that his comments come from his own personal experience as a new dad. "I'm telling you with all love and respect, now that I'm a father… would never bring them to a concert," he concluded. "For the next time, be a bit more aware."

Maluma and his partner Susana Gomez welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Paris Londoño Gomez, in March 2024. Since then, the singer has said that he strives to be a good example for his little one. **
"Everything changed. And I love it," he told *Allure* in July 2024. "Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. I know I have to f------ kill it."
Maluma is currently the process of wrapping up the final leg of his +Pretty +Dirty World Tour, which is set to conclude in El Salvador on Aug. 23. He is next scheduled to play at the Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico, on Aug. 13.
