"Do you think it’s a good idea to bring a 1-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f–king high? That baby doesn’t even know what it’s doing here."

"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."

Said Maluma, quoted in "Rapper Maluma stops concert to scold mom for ‘irresponsible’ act with her baby" (NY Post).

Rapper Maluma stops concert to scold mom for ‘irresponsible’ act with her baby

Good for him!

doctrev చెప్పారు...

Good for him. It's nice but hardly uncommon to see rappers with more ethics and parental judgment than the average InstaThot.

Another old lawyer చెప్పారు...

Maybe he'll institute age minimums at the gate.

MadisonMan చెప్పారు...

Why was the baby even let in to the concert? This seems to be a problem with how the rappers contract was written. It shouldn't be hard to add the stipulation "No one under 12 will be admitted". Good on him for shaming though. The world needs more shaming.

Achilles చెప్పారు...

There is an interesting movement among black men right now that revolves around black culture and personal responsibility.

They are quite unhappy with the black women and the thugs that get them pregnant.

CJinPA చెప్పారు...

Rappers aren't known for their commitment to fatherhood. But he's right.

Mom couldn't get a sitter and wasn't giving up that ticket.

Arnold S voice - "Poor little babies. Weak little babies. gonna cry, you little baby over some music?"

Yep, babies need to protected from loud noise. It literally ruin a kids life. I'm sure the Mother didn't know that. Or maybe the idea of going to a concert was too big a temptation.

n.n చెప్పారు...

Patriarchy? Toxic masculinity, obviously. Mansplaining.

Good for him. Good for her baby. Good for us, too.

Aggie చెప్పారు...

I'll add my vote to 'Good for him'. The mom deserves shaming, and a good innovation would be to have the ticket takers saying 'No'.

RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...

Juan Luis Londoño Arias is Maluma's real name. Maluma raps in Espanol and Anglais. His Youtube videos are insanely popular.

tim maguire చెప్పారు...

What's up with the people saying the baby shouldn't have been let in? In the future, they probably won't be, but you can't expect the venue to anticipate every irresponsible thing a fan might do and you also can't expect the people at the door--the people 4 or 5 rungs down the ladder and processing thousands of tickets in the space of 30 minutes--to make their own on the fly common sense rules. That's nuts too.

This is on the mother. And only the mother.

Aggie చెప్పారు...

I'll say this, too. I was at my kids church a while ago, it's a 'praise band' type setting, not my cup of tea, but.... The kids filed in from the Sunday school for part of the service, and where did they put them? In the front row, 4 ft away from all the speakers. It was too loud for me back in the middle. I didn't want to haul my phone out to read decibels, but I passed this on to one of the elders on the way out. They should know better - it's church, not a rock concert.

rhhardin చెప్పారు...

Also the crying annoys the other audience members.

PerthJim చెప్పారు...

Good for him. I was lucky enough to be a grownup before damaging my hearing at concerts. Anecdotal, but it seems people are more likely to bring infants and toddlers to events nowadays. When we saw the last Mission Impossible movie, there was a couple next to us with a kid that was surely only a few months old. They kept having to leave with her because she was obviously uncomfortable.

Why do people do this? If it's too hard to get a babysitter, watch it on your big screen at home. When our kids were little, we rarely ever saw a movie in the theater.

RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...

People are letting the baby slide on this. It takes two to tango. I'm in favor of accountability for everyone. You have to take responsibility - even if you're a baby.

RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...

We need to live in a free society. People make choices and have to live with them. If that baby didn't want his hearing damaged, he shouldn't have gone.

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Good for him. Taking a baby or even a child to anything loud like that is a very bad idea.
I suffer from mild hearing loss - and it's getting worse - and horrible tinnitus. Tinnitus is common - millions have it.
Years of loud music and other loud is the cause. When you damage the little things in your delicate ears - they don't ever come back.

I wear all sorts of hearing protection on commercial flights. I'm the geekiest person on the flight, and I do not care.
If I do not protect my ears - I am a deaf person for about 12-18 hours after the flight. I stuff bright orange industrial strength ear plugs in there and layer with Bose headphones.

Lawnerd చెప్పారు...

Mommy had a little baby
There he is fast asleep
He's just a little plaything
Why not wake him up?
Cute, cute little baby
Little pee-pee, little toes
Now he's coming to me
Crawl across the kitchen floor
Baby, baby, please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night
Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
We wanna make him stay up all night

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Why must almost everything need to be so obnoxiously loud?
Restaurants, concerts, flights.
The best meal out is a quiet patio with soft music playing. Find that.

Talk to most rock and rollers - they are deaf and the tinnitus is enough to make them want to crash the helicopter.

n.n చెప్పారు...

Rapping around the fire, good. Rappjng with artificially intensified (AI) pressure waves, not.

a priori : adjective
relating to or denoting reasoning or knowledge which proceeds from theoretical deduction rather than from observation or experience.
"a priori assumptions about human nature"

I want to know where/how the idea was… hatched.

Peachy చెప్పారు...

ok - a flight cannot help it.

Leland చెప్పారు...

Mom was like "What? I can't hear you? There's a ringing in my ear."

Anita చెప్పారు...

Years ago I attended a Sesame Street Live concert on a preschool field trip with my child. The volume was so unbelievably loud it most certainly damaged the toddlers' hearing. People don't seem to understand how precious good hearing is.

Jon Ericson చెప్పారు...

As my dad used to say: "If you can't play good, play loud".

Tom T. చెప్పారు...

Maybe she was waving the baby at him to let him know that it belongs to him. You know how musicians are.

"Baby, baby, please let me hold him

JaimeRoberto చెప్పారు...

They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say let them go deaf.

Dude1394 చెప్పారు...

How many f-words and n-words was he providing.

Althouse likely doesn't know the reference, or maybe she knows the reference the reference was referencing.

TeaBagHag చెప్పారు...

Little children at rock shows is bad because of the noise.
Little children being raped by Donald J Trump and his close friends is good because MAGA!

bagoh20 చెప్పారు...

Slanderous lying is bad, but slanderous lying about Trump is good, because TDS is a hell of drug that erases one's entire value system turning them into a public embarrassment over politics.

bagoh20 చెప్పారు...

It would be awesome if he refused to continue the show until she left. That would make a lifelong hater of rap music into a fan, at least of this one rapper.

Mason G చెప్పారు...

"TDS is a hell of drug that erases one's entire value system"

Erases or emphasizes? The jury's still out on that one, I'd say.

Aggie చెప్పారు...

@JaimeRoberto, hah, Airplane ! But I still remember Shana Alexander and James Kirkpatrick, the originals, going at it in 60 Minutes, every week - long before 'Jane, you ignorant slut'.

Interesting Trivia: Her dad was the songwriter that composed 'Happy Days are Here Again', FDR's famous tune, but he also composed 'Ain't She Sweet', with her as the inspiration for the song, at 2 years of age.
