The Colombian artist, a prominent figure in the urban music industry, recently faced a common occurrence that many can relate to. Despite his global fame, Maluma shared his frustration on social media without disclosing the venue’s name to avoid negative publicity. In a tweet, he expressed disbelief over being denied entry to a place in Medellín simply because he was wearing shorts. Maluma questioned the arbitrary rules dictating appropriate attire and emphasized that one’s appearance does not define their worth. He declared, «NO VUELVO!» («Not coming back!»).
His followers quickly reacted, showcasing a divided opinion on the matter. Some empathized with Maluma, questioning what lies ahead for ordinary individuals if even he faces entry issues. Others defended venue rules, stating that every place has its regulations.
Ayer no me iban a dejar entrar a un lugar en Medellín porque tenía shorts, quienes son las personas que deciden como debes estar vestido para encajar en un lugar? Denigrando a las personas por cómo se visten… Cómo te veas no define quien eres! NO VUELVO!

The incident, now a mere anecdote, highlights Maluma’s firm decision not to revisit a place that rejected him based on a dress code violation.
In the midst of this, Maluma’s professional life seems to be thriving, marked by the success of his recent release, the «Lollipop – Remix» with Darell and Ozuna. Fans note a nostalgic return to his earlier Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy era, marked by hits like «Borro Casette,» «El Perdedor,» and «Sin Contrato.» Despite his upcoming fatherhood, Maluma remains committed to his music, hinting at a return to the studio for a musical journey reminiscent of 2016.
The artist’s experience raises the question: Have you ever been denied entry to a place due to not adhering to their dress code rules?
