In a video that was recorded at the concert and has since been making rounds on the internet, the Colombian native asked the mother in Spanish:

"With all due respect... how old are they? A year old? Less? A year."

Maluma then told her:

"Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. 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. I’m telling you with all love and respect, now that I'm a father… would never bring them to a concert. For the next time, be a bit more aware."

According to Billboard, the managerial relationship between the two concluded on July 15, with Londono sharing in a statement his gratitude for working with Kolm. He added:

"Looking back to the first minute that we started working together, I wouldn’t change a thing. On the contrary, together we showed that the sky is the limit and we accomplished the unimaginable. Today is the end of a professional cycle, but also the beginning of new opportunities for both of us. Our personal relationship remains intact, and like I always have, I wish only the best for him and his team."

Maluma was signed by Kolm in 2013, when he was only 19 and had little recognition beyond Colombia. The singer also told the media outlet that he is not looking to replace Kolm with another representative, since "he was building a new team".
