In 2012, a young Maluma entered the reality show “Combate” at just 18 years of age to try to win over the Peruvian public. In said ATV production, the singer, who was criticized for attending the Qatar 2022 World Cup Fan Fest show, was able to meet local entertainment figures such as Sheyla Rojas and here we will tell you more about his curious story.

Despite this, Gian Piero Díaz and Renzo Schuller did not hesitate to joke that Maluma would treat Sheyla Rojas better than Antonio Pavón, since he had recently made a rudeness to the famous. “I think that Maluma would not make such an insult to Sheyla Rojas,” said Renzo Schuller, to which Maluma replied: “No, never, that is not done to a lady that pretty.”
When the drivers encouraged the singer to give Sheyla a kiss on the cheek, he replied: “I think this is not the time, we will see if the days pass and he gives me the opportunity. (…) Lie, respects and greetings to her boyfriend, may God bless him”.
Over the course of days, Maluma returned to Colombia to resume his career as a singer and Sheyla Rojas continued her relationship with Antonio Pavón; However, the following year, these ended due to an infidelity of the Spaniard with Milett Figueroa.
