Colombian singer, Shakira has broken YouTube and Spotify records with a song in which she ridicules her former partner, Gerard Pique.
Shakira Breaks YouTube And Spotify Record With Pique Diss
KanyiDaily had reported how the singer ended her 12-year relationship with the Barcelona star over cheating allegations surrounding him.
It was alleged that Pique was caught in bed with another woman, forcing the couple to be living separately for a few weeks after the footballer was kicked out of their family home.
Shakira recently released a diss track “BZRP Music Sessions #53,”i n which she mocked Pique, saying in Spanish that she is “worth two 22-year-olds,” and compares the relationship to trading “a Ferrari for a (Renault) Twingo” and a “Rolex for a Casio.”
The singer also declares that “a she-wolf like me isn’t for rookies” (in reference to her own 2009 single)
“I was out of your league, which is why you’re with someone just like you,” she sings, before inviting her gym-loving ex to spend a little time training his mind, too.
In the song, produced in collaboration with Argentine producer and DJ Bizarrap, the pop star also mentions her tax issue with Spanish authorities.
The 45-year-old singer is accused of failing to pay €14.5 million ($15.7 million) in income tax for the period she spent in Spain with Pique.
“You left me with my mother-in-law as a neighbour, with the press at my door and a debt to the taxman,” she sings.
The song, which was posted January 11, received a staggering 63 million views within the first 24 hours, making it the most-viewed new Latin song in the video platform’s history.
Shakira’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” also shot to the top of Spotify’s Top 50 Global chart.
The song did not only peaked at the top of the charts but also broke Spotify’s record for the most streams by a Latin song in a single day. Additionally, the song smashed records for Spain and Colombia.
The song swiftly rose to the top spot in Spanish-speaking countries like Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico and reached the top 10 in countries like Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Malta with over 15 million streams.
For over a decade, Shakira has remained at the summit of the music industry. She has recorded hundreds of millions in album sales, won multiple awards, sold out arenas, and dominated charts.
Her latest feat on the global Spotify chart is another proof of her enduring success.
Pique has not officially responded to Shakira’s diss track, but on Friday the football star announced that the seven-a-side league he leads had struck a sponsorship deal with Casio.
Shakira and Gerard Piqué had 2 children before announcing their separation in June 2022. Piqué has since started dating a 23-year-old named Clara Chía.
