Maluma went into dad mode at a concert in Mexico City over the weekend.

The Colombian sensation took a moment during a show to scold a parent who brought a young child to a loud concert, as seen in social media video. The singer-songwriter clarified the age of the child, who is one year old, before giving the parent a talking to.

"Do you think it's a good idea to bring a 1-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are through the ... roof, where the sound is blasting?" he said in Spanish. "Next time, protect their ears."

He continued: "You're swinging him around like he's a toy. That child doesn't want to be here."

Maluma, who has a 1-year-old daughter himself with girlfriend Susana Gomez, added that he was looking at the situation from a parent's eyes.

"I say this with all care and with all respect, since I'm a dad," he said. "I would never have brought a 1-year-old to a concert. So next time, be a bit more mindful, OK?"

Maluma, 31, is on a run of Mexican shows for his +Pretty +Dirty world tour through Aug. 16. The tour wraps up in San Salvador on Aug. 23.

The rules around kids at shows can vary from promoter to promoter, venue to venue and country to country. Generally speaking, the rules are actually guidelines. The only restrictions might revolve around the age at which a child must show up with a ticket as opposed to going in free.

Palacio de los Deportes, the venue at which Maluma performed, does not appear to have specific rules regarding children.

A quick Google search reveals that plenty of parents are seeking guidance on the best way to bring a baby to a concert. Others ask whether the practice is wise.
