Meet the hot Latin singer who had everyone ‘salivating’ at the VMAs

For many at the VMAs on Monday, the big question of the evening wasn’t who would win Video of the Year — but the identity of a mysterious (and gorgeous) Latin performer.

“Everyone was salivating and wanted to know who this attractive man was,” said an attendee at Radio City Music Hall.

Turns out the man of the hour was 24-year-old Colombian Maluma.

Apparently, Madonna was among his fans backstage. We’re told “she hugged him and said, ‘You’re amazing!’ ”
