Shakira is on a rollercoaster, with its share of ups and downs. One day, the Colombian singer revels in stardom, and the next, she confronts the challenges of life. The pop star is now compelled to navigate through turbulent waters, as a medical emergency forces the former flame of Gerard Pique to jet off to her home country.

Shakira jets to Colombia due to a medical emergency!

Being a single mother is already a challenging endeavor for Shakira. And now the various aspects of her life are compounding her difficulties. Evidently, the singer had to hastily board a plane bound for Colombia due to a sudden medical emergency concerning her parents.

According to some reports, Shakira’s mother, Nidia del Carmen Ripoll Torrado, has experienced thrombosis. On the other hand, other sources indicate that her father, William Mebarak Chadid, is in a ‘delicate’ health condition. Without wasting any second, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer took the earliest available flight to her hometown of Barranquilla.

Earlier, the 46-year-old had flown to her homeland after her father had brain surgery. He had been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, leading the Mebarak family to choose surgery in order to expedite his recovery. Moreover, her mother had also suffered a blood clot in her leg. But now it seems, once again the Mebarak family is facing challenges.

Already, there are a lot of problems in the MTV VMA award winner’s life. In fact, Pique’s ex is also facing jail time as she grapples with a legal situation.

The former flame of Gerard Pique faces legal soup

Back in September, Shakira found herself in hot water when she was accused of failing to fulfill her tax obligations to the Spanish government. A lawsuit was filed in a Barcelona court, alleging that she had neglected to pay $16 million in taxes during her residency in Spain. Adding to her legal woes, a second lawsuit was swiftly lodged against her.

A consortium of Spanish prosecutors claimed that the Grammy Award-winning artist had utilized “companies based in low-tax and high-opacity countries” to channel her earnings during her time in Spain. If found guilty in either of these cases, Shakira could potentially face jail time up to eight years.
