Maluma:

It felt great, Madonna sucked my toes. It was cool, I didn’t wash it for two years. To this day, I still haven’t washed it. Lies! Hey what’s up friends? Maluma here talking to you, and this is my Billboard Chart History. It feels too beautiful. It feels too nice, honestly. Going back to that moment, I remember when I heard the song for the first time with The Weeknd. I was here in Los Angeles, I was in a house and I remember that the song came to me in the morning. I had just worked out, I was there looking at the city and I saw the message and it said “Hawái” remix. And I said: “No, it can’t be. Could it be?” When I opened the file and of course, I played the song there on the speaker I had there and it was like I’d say life changing, you know? It was a moment that I knew I had worked for. I mean, The Weeknd is an artist that I have admired for many, many years, since he did the first collaborations with Drake and for me that was crazy. I mean, that was something I never would have imagined. And the best of all is seeing The Weeknd singing in Spanish. That was like, well yes, I also dare to say that there’s a before and after in the history of Latin music, right? That an artist of that caliber, of that level, would want to come to work in the Latin world and sing in Spanish. Crazy, honestly. I get goosebumps.
