Maluma is a singer who, from a very young age, has appeared on the Colombian music scene as one of the local exponents of reggaeton. However, before being a renowned artist and model of prestigious catwalks, the Antioquian behaved like any other fan with whom he considered his musical idols.

This was revealed in an interview provided by the 'Pretty boy' to CNN, which, although broadcast in August 2021, was once again a topic of conversation for a section that another famous reggaetonero published on his social networks.

This is Ñejo 'El Broko', who had not seen the talk in which his colleague recalls an emotional story that took place about 13 years ago, when he first met him.

It was then that teenager understood that his favorite reggaeton player was not going to speak to me, let alone give his earring, to one of the many people in the audience. Which is why he decided to attract his attention.

“Without shame and without shame, I climbed onto the stage and as I sang I said in my ear: 'Do you mind if you give me your earring? ' He looked at me like 'this bald thing you're doing here? ' ; then I thought he was going to hit me or throw me off the stage, but what he did was stop singing, gave Dalmatian the microphone, took off his earring and handed it to me”, added the singer, who will present at the stellar show of the Miami Grand Prix (F1).

This event marked the life of Juan Luis Londoño Arias (the first name of the Colombian singer), as well as that of Ñejo 'El Broko', as the young man who had broken into one of his performances gained great fame over the years and invited him to his own music studio.

Once there, Maluma told the Puerto Rican that he was the one who had received his gift almost seven years ago and immediately the interpreter of 'Very happy' also remembered the episode with great affection.
