'I'm worth two 22-year-olds': When Shakira's Record-Breaking Song Mocked Her-Ex Gerard Piqué

Just a year and a half after their breakup, Gerard Piqué found himself in the crosshairs of pop icon and ex-partner, Shakira. Her scathing track, in which she vocally taunts the football star, has become a YouTube sensation, boasting more than 63 million views in its first 24 hours—a new record for Latin music.

Not one to mince words, Shakira, 45, aims Piqué and his new love interest, 23-year-old Clara Chía, in her collaboration with Argentinian producer DJ Bizarrap. "You swapped a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo," the songstress croons, insinuating that Piqué downgraded after their split. Shakira boldly asserts, "I was out of your league, which is why you're with someone just like you" and advises her fitness-obsessed ex to exercise his brain as well.

A Bitter Symphony: Shakira Addresses Piqué and Beyond

As reported by The Guardian, her verbal attack goes beyond Piqué, targeting his mother, the press, and her ongoing conflict with the Spanish tax authorities, demonstrating a relentless and fierce lyrical assault. "You left me with my mother-in-law as a neighbor, with the press at my door, and a debt to the taxman," she sings. Shakira, accused by Spanish prosecutors of tax evasion, has refuted these claims, stating that the authorities were conducting "a salacious press campaign" against her.

Despite the controversy, the song has gone viral, becoming the most-watched new Latin music video in YouTube's history. Venezuelan singer Briella chimed in, claiming similarities between Shakira's diss track and her own song, 'Solo Tú,' released last year. Briella made it clear that she was a fan but felt that her work had "inspired" Shakira's hit, hinting at possible plagiarism.

As it stands, the global response to Shakira's record-breaking song has been overwhelming, with Gerard Piqué likely feeling the heat from his ex's potent lyrics.
