Let's talk about a controversial issue. How do you defend the song "Cuatro Babys" which has been censored by many alleging that the lyrics are machista and denigrate women? MALUMA: "Well, this is a pretty broad issue and at the same time it is a simple one. I sing to interpret songs. And because I sing this type of songs doesn't mean that I'm in love with four babies, right? It is easy to point fingers, judge and accuse someone without having a clue what's going on with the artist. I'm not the only one who sings, there are three other artists, but according to many people I'm the one singing all the naughty words, and this is not true. I sing the intro and the chorus and I have a small part at the end of the song, which is not naughty at all. No one else was been aimed at but me. I really do not care. I think it is a great song in the trap genre, a trend that is coming pretty strong. I launched it for the underground world, but the media took the song to a different level and made it a number one hit just recently in different countries. As there are people against it, there are probably more people that like it and therefore it became quite controversial. Obviously, the people affected by this controversy are my family, who always are there to support me. As I said previously, there's nothing more beautiful and special than women. Then again, I'm a story teller and for that I've been pointed at and called names, but those who know me well recognize what kind of person I am. 'Cuatro Babys' is without a doubt the most successful hit I have in my repertoire further more than 'Chantaje' or 'Vente Pa'Ca.'"
