Even though Shakira has most of the fans on her side, there are still a few individuals that prefer supporting Gerard Pique over her. That set of people has termed her diss tracks as ‘toxic’ and an overreaction. But due to the severe imbalance of fans on either side of the controversy, the singer always tends to win. Recently, another Pique supporter emerged on the internet. And this time, it was none other than the popular Colombian singer, Juanes’ ex-manager.

His shocking comments on the Waka–Waka singer raised quite a few eyebrows among the fanbase.
What did Juanes’ ex-manager say about Shakira?
Shakira has driven her former partner and his family crazy in the last couple of months. It has become difficult for Gerard Pique to move around freely in public spaces. That is simply because the paparazzi are eager for just one opportunity to pounce on the soccer veteran. However, Juanes’ ex-manager shocked the world in February with his comments against Shakira.
He posted the tweet just two days after Shakira released TQG in collaboration with Karol G.

After looking at his tweet, it does seem like the taunt took a fair bit of time and effort to execute. The person in the limelight is Fernan Martinez. Martinez seemingly scrolled the internet for an iconic photo of the Colombian singer. He came across Shakira’s 2009 cover shoot for Rolling Stone Magazine. Juanes’ former manager surprisingly morphed Shakira’s young and wrinkle-free face into an old lady’s face.

He also changed the text around the cover. He wrote, “Shakira, this album, from 2053 is the last one dedicated to Pique”, as translated by Google Translate. In the caption, he additionally wrote, “Now do you understand Pique?”, in Spanish.
Martinez’s reaction in support of Gerard Pique was not the first one. There have been a few popular individuals who have subtly backed the soccer veteran during his miserable time.
Popular Spanish actress backs Pique too!
Less than a week ago, a popular Spanish actress supported Gerard Pique on social media. Karla Sofia Gascon lashed out at every die-hard Shakira fan on the internet. She wrote, “People are imbecile, to show the Piqué-Shakira case. If what happened the other way around, they would be saying the opposite”, as per Google Translate.

La gente es imbécil, para muestra el caso Piqué Shakira. Si lo sucedido fuera al revés estarían diciendo todo lo contrario: que Piqué es un acosador que no la deja rehacer su vida, vengativo, desgraciado, ella tiene derecho a estar con quien quiera, será que no la satisfacía, etc

She continued, “That Piqué is a stalker who does not let her rebuild her life, vengeful, unfortunate, she has the right to be with whoever she wants, it will be that he did not satisfy her, etc”. Gascon pleaded with the fanbase to try to get to know both sides of the story first. But all the public uproar doesn’t seem to be affecting Pique anymore. On the contrary, he is reportedly planning on shockingly tying the knot with Clara Chia Marti, his new girlfriend.
