After being together for 12 years, the celebrity couple surprised fans by announcing their separation. The stars met during the 2010 world cup and started dating. The equation of this breakup is slightly more complicated as there are 2 kids involved. From a fan-favorite couple to taking shots at each other any moment they get, fans are finding it hard to process what they are watching.
Gerard Pique claps back on a Shakira dig
In one of her recent songs, Shakira took a shot at her ex-boyfriend and father of her two kids, Gerard Pique. In a bar that would get the attention of fans, various brands, and Pique, she metaphorically compared herself with Pique’s new girlfriend. The translation of that line is, “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo… You traded a Rolex for a Casio…“

Every fan can easily see why this is a direct shot at Pique and his girlfriend Clara Chia Marti. This line got the attention of the man himself, Gerard Pique. In one of his live sessions, he said, “We have Casio watches for all the Presidents of the Kings League teams! Everyone, take your watch.” He said this while showing a Casio watch he was wearing.
The relationship certainly seems to have mutated into a petty back and forth. However, a couple of brands mentioned by Shakira had a field day responding to their lines by her.
Casio and Renault responded to the lines
After getting mentioned by pop star Shakira, these two brands didn’t let it go that easily. They got a chance to cash on the hype and troll the pop star at the same time. Casio was quick to respond and quite frankly, had the mildest yet most effective reply to the mention.
