The pair split in 2022 after over 11 years together, with Pique alleged to have cheated on the Colombian. Reports suggest Shakira picked up on her partner’s infidelity after coming back and finding the jam was gone, despite Pique and her children not liking jam.
Pique recently retired from football, and since his split, has struck up a new relationship with 23-year-old Clare Chia. In the latest development since the pair went their separate ways, Shakira has released what is believed to be a diss track towards her ex.
In the new song, Shakira, 45, sings: “I’m worth two 22-year-olds,” adding: “You swapped a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo/You swapped a Rolex for a Casio.” The singer also notes: “a she-wolf like me isn’t for rookies” … “I was out of your league, which is why you’re with someone just like you”
