It has been a rocky ride for both since pop star Shakira and former soccer star Gerard Pique parted ways. when Shakira dropped a bombshell of a track taking a swipe at her former boyfriend. The track went super viral and unraveled a saga that can only be described as fictional.
The line, “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo/ You traded a Rolex for a Casio“, became a sensation. Days after the track, Pique replied to the pop star in his own way. The continuous back and forth led Popstar to re-enter the top streamed artist list.

Pique, upon hearing the song, went live and had a Casio watch on. Stating that Casio is for kings, he took a swipe at her ex-girlfriend. The soccer star signed a deal with Renault and Casio. Many soccer and pop personalities have come out to state which side they are on after this collaboration with Bizarrap. One of the most unpredictable supporters of Shakira turned out to be the wife of Lionel Messi.
Shakira talked about her motivation for the track
In a talk with Hola, Colombian pop star Shakira discussed her motivation behind the controversial song. It wasn’t the first time she talked about the breakup, but it was the most aggressive one. Before the track, Shakira took a couple of swipes at Pique in her Instagram posts. Time and again, she also talked about how hard it was for her to deal with the breakup.

While talking about how her eldest son, Milan, motivated her to make the song. She said, “He [Milan] told me, mommy, you have to do something with Bizarrap. He is the Argentine God. I’m ready for the next round, let life come and show me what else there is. I feel very creative. It’s an incredible outlet that makes sense of everything.”
This motivation turned out to be a golden request for Shakira as she busted charts with that song. She directly aimed the controversial lines at Pique and his now girlfriend Clara Chia Marti. The pop star compared herself with Rolex and Ferrari saying Pique instead went for Casio and Twingo.
Antonella Roccuzzo came to her support
Despite having very apparent differences, Lionel Messi’s wife, Roccuzzo saw the good in the track. There were many reasons for the discomfort between Antonella and Shakira. But the biggest one was that Pique used to date Roccuzzo’s best friend before he started seeing Shakira.
