Colombian singer Maluma disclosed during a discussion at Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami that he battled an eating disorder due to pressures from fashion campaigns. According to the source, he developed an obsession with food and sought a six-pack physique to fulfill aesthetic expectations in advertising photoshoots. Maluma revealed, "I used to have an obsession with food.
I had an eating disorder, and I didn’t know it," during the interview. Fashion and advertising industries use images of well-defined bodies in their campaigns, often placing appearance as a professional requirement for those who work in front of the camera. Maluma's struggle with his physique in fashion campaigns, including for Calvin Klein, led to his emotional distress.
He emphasized that his public image of confidence contrasted with the internal turmoil he experienced. Despite his success, Maluma still experiences anxiety and acknowledged the necessity of ongoing therapy and lifestyle adjustments to maintain his emotional well-being.
