Maluma, one of the artists that contributed to the World Cup anthem in Qatar, left a Friday interview with Israel's public channel after being questioned about his participation in the event despite Qatar's breaches of human rights.
The singer was questioned regarding celebrities, such as Shakira and Dua Lipa, who declined to perform at the World Cup because of Qatar's poor human rights record.
“Yeah but it’s something I can’t resolve. I just came here to enjoy life, enjoy soccer and the party of soccer,” It’s not something that I actually have to be involved with. I’m here enjoying my music and the beautiful life, playing soccer too.”
Maluma was pressed on the subject by the reporter who questioned whether he could comprehend why people could take issue with his response and whether the Colombian singer's presence was aiding the Qatari government in spinning the facts; Maluma couldn't provide any more answers hence why he left the scene.
