Shakira Is Billboard's First-Ever 'Latin Woman of the Year' and took yet another dig at Pique during her speech
Shakira recently took a sly dig at Barcelona legend Gerard Pique after receiving Billboard’s first-ever Latin Woman of the Year Award. In the much-publicized aftermath of their separation, Shakira and Pique have often made sly remarks about each other in public, especially about the latter’s alleged infidelity. After receiving the award at the inaugural ‘Latin Women in Music’ gala by Billboard, Shakira seemed to take another dig at the former Barcelona defender.
She said, “It no longer matters so much whether someone is faithful to you or not, what really matters is whether you continue to be faithful to yourself. As you well know, it has been a year of changes in my life. A year in which I have felt more than ever what it is to be a woman. Because it is a year in which I have realized that women are much stronger than we think.”
“We are braver than we think we are. I think we are also more independent than we were taught to be. What woman hasn’t happened, at some time, that she -for example- by seeking the attention or affection or approval of another, she has forgotten herself? It has happened to me more than once, ”she revealed. In addition, the artist expressed her gratitude and excitement for this award, stating that it is a great honor and that it gives her even greater motivation to continue in her career.
Shakira recently moved to Miami to start a new chapter in her life, along with her children, Milan and Sasha. Gerard Pique, meanwhile, is currently in a relationship with Clara Chia Marti. The Barcelona legend spent Marti’s birthday in the UAE before going to Miami to visit his kids.
