Social media exploded with Shakira’s latest no-holds-barred single that seemingly slams ex Gerard Pique. Even his new girlfriend wasn’t spared by the Colombian singer’s emotional and fiery lyrics. The song is entitled “BZRP Music Session #53”, and is a collaboration with Argentine hitmaker Bizarrap.
Shakira appears to be shading Gerard Pique Bernabeau, the Spanish former football pro who is considered one of the best defenders of his time. They share two sons, Milan Pique Mebarak, and Sasha Pique Mebarak. The couple stayed together for 11 years before they issued a joint statement about their separation on June 4, 2022.
The Juicy Details
When translated to English, the lyrics translate to “You left me the in-laws as my neighbors…media outlets at my door and in debt…You thought you hurt me but you made me stronger…Women don’t cry anymore, they cash in.”
In this catchy track, Shakira also seems to take a diss at Pique’s 23-year-old flame Clara Chia Marti. Saying, “I wish you good luck with my supposed replacement…I’m worth two of 22…You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded a Rolex for a Casio.
During her interview with Elle magazine following the couple’s split last year, Shakira shared her thoughts on the aftermath of her separation from her longtime partner and the father of her kids. She said, “It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it…It’s been tough not only for me but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult.”
Gerard and Clara’s Cheeky Response
Meanwhile, Clara didn’t seem to be bothered at all as she was even seen dancing at a party in one of her Instagram posts after Shakira’s single was released. While Gerard was seen posting a clown emoji on Twitter saying, “Life can be wonderful”.
Last year Gerard was brutally honest about his breakup with Shakira. He insisted he never cheated on her but admitted he told her he wanted some changes made in their relationship and wanted to spice things up. There is no truth to his infidelity as Shakira claims because he is the most loyal man on earth.
He said that the things Shakira said have damaged his public image. Gerald told her over and over, in case she forgot she was getting pretty old. He added that even though he’s nearing retirement she is 10 years older than him. Gerard said every morning he wanted to go to the club but all she wanted to do was knit sweaters or go for walks at the mall.
Who Was Shakira’s First Husband?
Shakira and Antonio de la Rua Pertine were never married, the pair was together for 11 years before she broke up with him and hooked up with Gerard Pique. Antonio is an Argentine lawyer and his father was former president Fernando de la Rua. He was his father’s advisor during his presidency and served as one of the heads of his dad’s presidential campaign.
What Made Shakira So Famous?
Shakira is a Colombian artist who raked in success both in Spanish and English-speaking countries. She exploded into the mainstream music scene in the early 2000s and turned out to be one of the most successful Latina recording artists in the world. Why is Shakira so important? Because of her ability to break barriers. Born as Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, she told of her struggles and triumphs as a child. And a time when she was told she will never become a successful music artist because she sounds like a goat. Look who’s laughing now.
“Girls Don’t Cry, They Cash In”
Public sympathy has poured in for Shakira ever since she was estranged from her ex-partner Gerard Pique. And despite their nasty custody battle for their kids and their “he said, she said” drama, nothing lasts forever and everyone will move on. It’s just heartbreaking that a celebrity’s heartache can be nothing but a form of entertainment for the rest of the world.
