Six weeks after meeting Britney Spears, J Balvin is finally revealing what happened the night he and Maluma enjoyed a late-night sushi dinner with her at private club Zero Bond in Manhattan’s Noho neighborhood.
‘We told her how proud we are about her,’ the 38-year-old Grammy nominee told E! News on Tuesday.
‘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.’
J (first name José) said he would ‘absolutely’ collaborate with the 41-year-old Grammy winner and remarked: ‘I saw her in really good spirit.’

Meanwhile, 29-year-old Maluma (born Juan Luis Londoño Arias) had gushed of his Spears encounter: ‘Quien asà como yo en el amor?’ or ‘Who like me in love?’
