-Thank you so much for talking to me
because I love hearing your music
and I love watching you perform.
But talking to you is a different thing.
And I want to get to know you.
-Man, thanks for having me here. This is such a dream.
Thank you, thank you over there. Thank you.
I appreciate it, man.
[ Cheers and applause ] -We love you.
-So amazing to be here.
-I want to get to know you because I'm a big fan.
But let's just start with Maluma.
-Yeah.
-That is not your real name. -Exactly.
My real name is Juan Luis Londono Arias.
Very Latin. [ Cheers and applause ]
-That's very Latin. -Very Latin.
-That's very Latin, yeah.
And how did you -- What is Maluma?
How did you come up with that?
-Okay, my mom's name is Margie.
My dad's name is Luis.
And my sister's name is Manuela.
So I took the first two letters of each name
and I put it as my artist.
[ Audience aws ]
-Wow! [ Cheers and applause ]
-But question. I have a question for you.
-Sure, go ahead.
-What would be the Maluma name for you?
If you take parents and --
-My sister -- My mom's Gloria.
My dad's James and my sister is Gloria as well.
-So -- [ Laughter ]
-It's so embarrassing,
but my mom and dad is Jim and Gloria,
and me and my sister were Jim and Gloria.
[ Laughter ]
It's, like, very -- very unoriginal parents.
I would probably be -- Gljagl?
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Gljagl. -Gljagl.
-Gljagl. -Maluma, Gljagl.
How you doing, man?
How you doing? Yeah. I'm doing good, Maluma.
-Gljagl, baby.
-I saw the other night, quickly,
but we didn't get a chance to speak.
But I saw you from afar.
You were at the Met Gala.
Dude, look at this. Look at this stud.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Look at that. Holy moly.
Stud. Who is this? Who are you wearing?
-Well, that was Keno.
That was assigned for me and Jeremy Scott.
He did it for me.
That was such an amazing experience, man.
-Have you ever been?
-No, that was my first time.
-What did you think?
-Beautiful.
[ Laughter ]
-Interesting, right? -Very interesting.
But to be honest, man, I had such an amazing time.
-Who did you sit with?
-I was there with Gwen Stefani, Katy Perry, of course, Jeremy.
Stella Maxwell. That was amazing.
The table was full of stars. -Yeah.
Well, Katy Perry -- -Katy Perry, yeah.
-She kind of stole the night, right?
I mean, she was -- Well, I mean, in a great way.
She came dressed as a chandelier.
-Her outfit was amazing.
A chandelier and after that a hamburger.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
She started off the night as a chandelier.
[ Laughter ]
Which I love Katy Perry for doing that.
-Hey, Katy, I love you.
I'm not making fun of you.
-No, no, no. No, no. I love her. I think she's great.
But this is even better.
She topped this by changing into a hamburger outfit.
[ Laughter ]
This is the real deal. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Dude, I love it. -I love it too.
Did you see the video of her with J.Lo in the women's room?
-Yeah.
-She was changing into her hamburger outfit.
-That was -- you know, that was so crazy
because the chandelier was her first outfit, right?
So, when we went to the table, she wasn't there with us but --
so I was asking to everybody, "Hey, where is Katy Perry?"
Everybody was like, "No, she's changing."
Changing? She was just wearing a chandelier?
-Yeah. What's she changing into? Yeah.
How can you top a chandelier?
-Exactly, and then she came to the table, man,
with this huge, huge hamburger outfit.
[ Laughter ]
And I was -- and I was like, "Wait. Wait a second.
Where's she gonna sit?"
[ Laughter ]
Like, we don't have a chair for that hamburger.
[ Laughter ]
-How does one sit dressed as a hamburger?
-So, that was so crazy, because she sat down on the ground.
And she just kept there for the whole gala.
[ Laughter ]
-No way. -Yeah, on the floor.
Just chill, eating.
Well, she was -- she was looking like a hamburger.
I was about to --
-You were about to eat the -- yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you didn't. [ Laughter ]
Thank God you didn't bite the hamburger.
