The Rudeboyz said in a statement, according to: Entertainment tonight“We are embarking on a new chapter in our career as a producer/artist alongside Maluma and Adam Levine.
‘Ojalá is a romantic and danceable record on which we have joined forces with Maluma to continue his incredible musical legacy, accompanied by Adam Levine singing in Spanish for the first time.’
Said Maluma: ‘My colleagues and friends Kevin and Chan (The Rudeboyz) are incredibly talented. They have grown with me in the music industry and have been working together for over 10 years; and it makes me very happy to be part of their first single as artists and alongside the great Adam Levine.”

On September 30, the father-of-two admitted to sending flirty texts to the brunette, but denied having an affair.
Sumner shocked the internet when she went on TikTok and shared intimate messages with the singer. The music video contained flirty notes and suggestions for face-to-face meetings. In the clip, Stroh said she felt “manipulated” by the star.
Stroh said Levine admitted his relationship with Prinsloo was on rocky ground, but when the supermodel announced she was pregnant with their third child, that prompted Stroh to speak out.
With the news of the pregnancy, Levine is said to have told his mistress that he wanted to name the child after her.
After the reveal, Levine shared a post about the cheating rumors and admitted that he “crossed the line” with his sexts and other posts.
“A lot is being said about me now and I want to clear the air,” Levine said on social media. “I used poor judgment to talk to anyone other than my wife in ANY flirtatious way.

Following the reveal, Levine shared a post denouncing the rumors of cheating and admitting that he “crossed the line” with his sexts and other posts.
“I haven’t had an affair, yet I crossed the line at a regrettable time in my life. In certain cases it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.
He continued, “My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. Being so naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that really matters to me was the biggest mistake I could ever make. I’ll never make it again. I take full responsibility. We’ll get through it. And together we will get through it.’

The pair have formed a united front in the wake of the allegations of infidelity, appearing together regularly, as Behati has not spoken publicly about the ordeal.
An insider told ET: “Adam wanted to speak out as soon as possible so that any stories don’t get out of hand. He wanted to face everything straight away and deal with it right away. He is ashamed and acknowledges that his actions were inappropriate. He’s trying to make amends with Behati and his family.”
