While the night ended in disappointment for the Heat fans, the singer’s social media activity raised a few eyebrows.

In the video, she was jamming to her latest song, namely Acrostico. In about three hours, that video has already garnered more than 550,000 likes. One of the ‘likes’ belongs to none other than Jimmy Butler himself. In recent times, that song has gained ample attention across social media.
Gerard Pique is reportedly unhappy because Shakira didn’t ask for his approval before featuring Milan and Sasha in the official music video. Amid the tax fraud case headache, the Colombian icon could be on the verge of receiving another legal notice. Unknowingly, the Colombian icon has needlessly become a small part of Butler’s team’s ‘bottle job’ at the NBA playoffs.
Derrick White’s two-pointer tipped Celtics’ score over Heat’s 103 by just a point. Everyone including the players thought that Butler had won it for his team after converting 3/3 free throws in the dying seconds of the game. Let’s move back to the singer’s most recent controversy with Gerard Pique.
