Columbian pop star Shakira and Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique are still navigating their breakup from June last year. Earlier, it was revealed that Shakira and her boyfriend are no longer together and have broken up. But, when everything seemed to go quiet, in the past couple of weeks, this story has again found the headlines.
It all hit the fan when Shakira took an indirect shot at her ex in one of her latest songs. It wasn’t by any means the first time she talked about him in a song post-breakup. But, it got the most wind from the fans and it sparked a semi-beef in between the stars.

The latest project of the pop star dropped about a week ago. This song blew up and already has 122 million streams across platforms. With such controversy and a dig she took at her ex-boyfriend saying, “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo/ You traded a Rolex for a Casio” the song was destined to blow up.

Well, the numbers are going to shock you. In less than a week from when the song dropped, Shakira had reportedly made around 2.5 million USD.

Now, this may not be the exact amount she gets as there are other artists and teams involved, but 2.5 million in less than a week is a big stack and overall she has made around 15 million USD. That’s not it. In all 3 songs, she talked about Pique directly or indirectly.

While Shakira is out here making millions, Pique is making moves of his own. After getting dissed metaphorically about choosing Renault Twingo and Casio over bigger brands, the man signed a deal with both of these brands. Yes! Pique has a deal with Renault and Casio. This looks no different from a Netflix show but, it’s all here. It might be tough for fans to predict how this will end, but it is definitely just the beginning.
