She also later revealed that Sasha, her younger son, created the artwork for one of her tracks all by himself.

Last year, Shakira collaborated with Ozuna, a Puerto Rican singer to compose ‘Monotonia’. The lyrics of Monotonia were also extremely personal and close to the singer’s heart.
In a recent interview, the Colombian singer revealed her son’s extraordinary role in designing the artwork. The Latin American star revealed that she wasn’t happy with Sony’s designs. Looking at her mother’s disappointment, 8-year-old Sasha took the designing responsibility upon himself.

In an exclusive interview with Hola, Shakira quoted, “I didn’t like what the designers at Sony had created, and I asked Sasha what he thought about it. He said ‘No mami, Let me do it’ and he started making it on his iPad, he sent it to me and I sent it to people at Sony”.

She admitted that her children understand her work so well, that they’ve started to actively help her. She concluded by saying, “I think kids have a special sensibility and I listen to them”. A few weeks ago, Shakira released her own set of merchandise for her fans. She admitted that her niece had created the ‘hand-drawn animated design’ for the sweatshirts.
But the fans received the ultimate shock after they got to know about Milan’s connection with the Bizarrap collaboration.
Milan urged Shakira to collaborate with Bizarrap!
The 46-year-old has been extremely open and honest about everything with her fans. Her elder son, Milan is reportedly a big fan of Bizarrap, an Argentine DJ. Shakira claimed that it was his idea to partner with the recording-breaking DJ. Whilst in conversation with Hola, she reveals, “The collaboration with Bizarrap came as a suggestion of Milan. Milan sent a voice note to Jamie, my manager. He said ‘You have to make my mother sing with Bizarrap”.

Shakira reveals it was her son Milan's idea for her to work with Bizarrap:
“He sent an audio to my manager saying ‘you have to make my mom work with Bizarrap.’ Even when we were editing the video, he came in and said ‘Mom, you’re a bit far from the microphone. Let’s fix this.’” pic.twitter.com/ngoSRxGH6F

In retrospect, Milan’s suggestion was absolutely bang on. The celebrity duo has touched unimaginable heights of success with just a diss track. The song has nearly reached 400 million views on YouTube. About a month after its release, Shakira released ‘TQG’, another single to pile on her ex-boyfriend’s misery. The Hips Don’t Lie singer is currently preparing for her live performance in America on Jimmy Fallon’s television show.
