Shakira has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the global music scene. Fans across the world love to sing along to her chart-topping hits. But not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for the Colombian pop star’s songs. Among them was the obvious: Gerard Pique, accompanied by his girlfriend Clara Chia Marti. In fact, the divergence in musical preferences reaches such a level that Pique has taken the unusual step of making a personal request to prohibit playing Shakira’s songs while spending time with Clara Chia.
Meanwhile, Shakira faced a tough decision concerning Pique’s children when a medical emergency forced her to return to her homeland. Yet, this bizarre incident offers food for thought for the ongoing saga of the former power couple.

Notably, there was an incident when Pique was in public, and fans greeted him by singing ‘I congratulate you’ and ‘BZRP Music Sessions #53’. But it seems Pique is keen to prevent such situations by banning Shakira’s groovy tunes. Apparently, Pique took bold steps to avoid any awkward situations related to his ex-wife while enjoying outings with Clara Chia.
Pique and Clara Chia were in Malaga, Spain, for the Kings League and Queens League Cup finals. After the game, the couple headed to a well-known nightclub in the same city, along with friends, including Ibai Llanos. According to Univision, during their visit, the ex-Barca star personally approached the DJ, requesting him to refrain from playing Shakira’s songs. Not a fan of Waka Waka, after all!
According to the ‘Socialité’ program, the commentator Miguel Ángel Rech revealed some inside details through a witness. As translated by DeepL, he said, “One of the striking things is the request that Pique makes, more than that it is a condition not to leave, which is that no Shakira song is played.” The individual reportedly claimed to have approached the DJ and asked him to play ‘Waka Waka,’ to which he responded, “They won’t let me.” The Shakira-Pique tussle reached messy heights as they ended their long relationship.
Additionally, the show claimed Pique and Clara Chia enjoyed themselves without listening to Shakira, leaving the club at 4 AM. Be that as it may, it is quite an eyebrow-raising revelation. Conspicuously, this isn’t the first time Pique has vetoed Shakira’s songs.

Last July, Spanish reports disclosed a similar incident when he visited the Uniq club with Chia Martí, Carles Puyol, and his partner, Vanesa Lorenzo, where Pique made a similar request. Certainly, it is obvious why Pique has been making such requests.
