The Truth Behind Britney Meeting Maluma

J Balvin and Maluma made headlines last month after they posed for an Instagram photo with Britney Spears at a restaurant in New York City. “We told her how proud we are about her,” Balvin revealed to E! News this week of the encounter. “You know, like she’s part of us, and we were in love with her. No matter what position you are in music you gotta give respect for what they have done.” He added that he “saw her in really good spirit” and would “absolutely” love to record a collaboration. But Spears didn’t know who she was meeting until later. “Quick trip to NY… I had no idea who these boys were at this restaurant,” she captioned a since-deleted post. “HOLY S–_ it just hit me,” Britney later wrote under a selfie of the trio. “I can’t believe I met these 2 !!! Holy smokes.”
