Shakira hits back at Gerard Pique over his comments allegedly attacking Latin Americans
Shakira hits out at Gerard Pique after alleged racism of Latin Americans
The Shakira–Pique feud sparks yet again this time with the former Barcelona player attacking the Colombian’s fanbase. Recently, the football player gave an interview, where he talked about the hate he receives from his detractors and Shakira’s fans, after his separation and his new love with Clara Chia.
“My ex-partner is Latin American and you don’t know what I get on social networks from people who are fans of hers. Thousands of atrocities and I don’t care at all because I don’t know them,” Piqué said. With the statement, the athlete made reference to the fact that most of the negative comments he receives come from fans from Latin American countries.
Shakira did not remain silent in the face of the controversial statements made by her ex-partner Gerard Piqué and made derogatory references to Latin America. She sunk Piqué with a tweet: “Proud to be Latin American”, which showed the flags of all the countries in this region. There were Twitter reactions supporting Shakira’s stance with phrases such as: “We love you”, “Shout it queen”, “May that dog endure his pain” and “Shakira with a tweet uniting all of Latam”.
Pique and Shakira are reportedly hot topics amongst other football couples. Though many people think Shakira is the victim of this saga, both parties have reportedly gained a lot of public attention because of this split. Since the couple’s split Pique was deemed the villain of the story with fans mocking and criticizing him on social media networks.

Shakira’s emotional farewell after being served ‘eviction notice’
Shakira looked emotional as she bid farewell to Barcelona for good following her split with Gerard Pique. The Colombian pop star is moving to Miami after reportedly being served an ‘eviction notice‘ by her ex’s dad, Joan Pique. Reports in the Spanish press say the singer received an email from Pique’s dad asking her to vacate the former couple’s home or pay compensation.
Pique, who used to play for F.C Barcelona, has now moved on with Clara Chia Marti and Shakira looks like she’s getting as far away from the couple as she can. Looking tearful in the airport, the star hugged her friends and family before making her way onto her private jet. She was accompanied by her two sons Milan and Sasha who are rumored to be starting school in America.
Shakira’s life has been full of ups and downs not only because of her separation from Gerard Piqué due to infidelity but also because of her father’s complicated health conditions which had him hospitalized in a clinic in Barcelona. “I established in Barcelona to give stability to my children. Today, we begin a new chapter in the pursuit of their happiness”, she elaborated, “Thanks to everyone who surfed the waves with me in Barcelona, the place where I learned that friendship is longer than love.”
