Last month, Shakira relocated to Miami with her parents and children. After years of living in Spain, the Latin American singer decided that it was time for a change. That was simply because she has broken up with Gerard Pique in 2022. Also, the media and paparazzi were going crazy over the singer as she had composed a few hard-hitting diss tracks.
However, life hasn’t changed very much in the new country. The cameras and journalists still follow the Colombian icon and her children. Days after penning down a heartfelt message for Milan and Sasha, Shakira pours her heart out for her parents in an Instagram post. Let’s dive deeper into the same.

Shakira’s sweet tribute to her parents
Besides her kids, Shakira’s priority in her life is seemingly her parents. Just weeks before leaving for America, her father’s health took a major toll. After having a major fall last year, William Mebarak has struggled to recover from the head trauma. A surgery could quicken his recovery process, but the doctors had to put the surgery on hold too due to several complications.
On the other hand, her mother suffered from a blood clot in her leg. She was in the hospital for some tests, and during that time, the doctors noticed the problem. She was fine after a few days of rest and medicine. The Waka–Waka singer made it a point to safely get her parents to America with her. At this age, she seemingly wouldn’t leave them alone in Barcelona.

Keeping in mind her close bond with her parents, the singer dedicated an emotional tribute to them. Firstly, she wrote, “A smile from you is my weakness”, as translated by Google Translate. Along with that, she merged different clips of herself spending time with her parents. Some of those shots were candid. Even the comments section was a very emotional place to scroll through.
However, considering her parent’s ailing health, why did the Waka–Waka singer suddenly leave Spain? Couldn’t she have waited for a bit longer? Let’s find the answer to all these questions below.

Why did Shakira suddenly leave Barcelona?
Just days before leaving for America, Shakira received an email containing an eviction notice. Reportedly, Gerard Pique’s father was the culprit behind the same. They warned her about facing severe compensation charges if she didn’t leave the property. In short, the Piques forced the Colombian icon and her family to leave the country.

After that, a journalist asked the soccer veteran’s father about the supposed eviction notice. Instead of answering the critics, the aged man attempted to flee the scene. At top speed, he ran away from the cameras with his dog. During the chase, he dropped a five-word cryptic message that then confused the fanbase even more. This controversy has now turned bizarre and unpredictable.
