During his last visit to Spain, the Colombian singer Maluma not only gave several concerts in this country, but also took part in some magazines where he was interviewed and questioned about different topics of his life.
One of the magazines was called “El Hormiguero” on the Atresmedia channel, hosted by the moderator “Motos”, who in a long speech asked the singer about aspects such as his partners, the concerts and Madonna’s visit to Maluma’s house in Medellín.
Maluma said that on that occasion he absolutely insisted that the American singer would accompany him at the concert he was going to give in his native Medellín, for which the singer was difficult to persuade given the diversity of line-ups eight days before However, as the queen of pop, Madonna finally arrived in Medellín and settled in the house of Paisa.
“I called him again and he said to me, ‘The only way is to go in and out; I go there, we rehearse, I give the concert and I come back. I said, “Well, do you want to stay at my house?” And she said to me, “Sure, I’d like to stay at your house,” said the Antioquia singer.
Continuing his presentation of the program, Maluma sang the song “Coco Loco” and there came a moment when he got the program’s producer in trouble.
The singer shared a glass of the “Contraluz” mezcal he is a partner with “Motos” and kept the bottle of liquor in sight, which the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) says is against the law as they are not for may advertise an alcoholic beverage with an alcohol content of more than 36%.
The advertising law stipulates that in Spain this type of alcoholic beverage cannot be shown on any television channel if its alcohol content is more than 20 degrees, except between 1:00 and 5:00.
For this reason, Facua – Consumidores en acción – filed a lawsuit with the National Commission for Markets and Competition – CNMC – against the producer responsible for the program “El Hormiguero”, the well-known “7yacción”, whose main argument is no-compliance with the law for showing the bottle in the air and covertly advertising an alcohol product, as well as positive references to a bottle of liquor during prohibited hours.
In the lawsuit, Facua notes that the magazine’s moderator was aware of the violation he had committed and yet decided to move on with the moment, arguing, “I’m going to flip the bottle so the label wouldn’t otherwise.” can be seen.” we will argue.
Colombian singers like Sebastián Yatra and Camilo have also attended the show, although it’s the first time they’ve had to accept this legal situation for something an innocent guest did on set.
