After the writers’ strike ended, ‘The Tonight Show: starring Jimmy Fallon’ returned to North American television this week and the one chosen to be the first guest was the Colombian reggaeton singer.

Maluma made his appearance at the show wearing a gray suit with appliqués from the luxury brand Fendi, which made him look elegant and very neat. During the conversation, Fallon congratulated him on his two nominations for the 2023 Latin Grammys in the Record of the Year and Best Tropical Song categories for his song ‘La Formula’, which he did with his close friend, Marc Anthony.

“I have been a fan of his since I was a child, my parents raised me with his music. One day they told me that he wanted to meet me, he was living in Miami and I was also in Florida. All of a sudden I got a text saying, ‘Hey bro, come over to my house for a bit,’ and I was like, ‘What? Are you Marc? OK that’s fine”. Maluma recalled.

As the Antioquian recalled: “we spent at least eight hours talking until dawn. We listened to his new songs and mine from back then and it was wonderful,” and then he mentioned that today he considers him an older brother and a mentor in music, which is why they have already done two collaborations.

The salsa singer did not take long to respond that it would be January 28, to which the countryman told him “brother, that’s my birthday,” while laughing, but in the same way the Colombian decided to accompany him and that day was very special for him. both: “It was great because I didn’t have to spend money on my party… he paid for everything, he paid for my birthday party,” Maluma said, laughing.
