Shakira, the Colombian singer renowned for her soulful music and mesmerizing performances, recently made headlines for her impressive win at the Premios Juventud Awards. Despite facing personal challenges during her public breakup with Gerard Pique, Shakira has continued to seize opportunities to showcase her talent and release sensational tracks.

Her diss tracks ‘TQG’ and ‘BZRP Music session #53’ on ex-boyfriend have taken her career to even further heights. This even helped her shine on one of the most prestigious Spanish-speaking award shows. However, even on this momentous occasion, the celebrated artist found herself at the center of controversy as she has been exposed by fellow singer Daniela Darcourt.

Shakira, who was nominated for 9 awards, emerged victorious in 8 categories at the Premios Juventud 2023. This includes ‘Best Urban Pop Song’, ‘Best Urban Track’, ‘Best Female Artist’, ‘Best Song for My Ex’, ‘Best Urban Pop Collaboration’, ‘Girl Power’, ‘Social Dance Challenge’, and ‘Tropical Mix’. As is customary, she took the stage to deliver an acceptance speech that left fans in awe.

In her heartfelt message, she expressed gratitude to her fans, emphasizing the support and love she has received throughout her career. The singer also took the time to acknowledge her two sons, thanking them for their support. While Shakira’s acceptance speech was met with widespread admiration, a surprising twist occurred when fellow singer Daniela Darcourt, who is worth an estimated $30 million, made a revealing remark about the speech.

Darcourt, also in attendance as a nominee, recorded a video during Shakira’s speech. In the video, she pans the camera to reveal a screen in front of Shakira displaying the words of the speech. The Peruvian singer accompanied this with a sarcastic comment, stating, “Nice words from our Shaki, but they’re already set”.

The incident raises questions regarding the motives behind Darcourt’s actions. This can pretty much be seen in a bad light, but it remains uncertain what truly inspired Darcourt to expose Shakira. We will have to wait and see if the ‘Waka-Waka’ singer responds to this. This is highly unlikely given Shakira has her own problems regarding tax fraud to deal with.

Shakira has found herself entangled in a significant tax fraud controversy, resulting in a staggering lawsuit of $15.9 million. The Spanish authorities have accused her of evading taxes for the years 2012 to 2014. They have alleged that she spent more than 183 days annually in Spain and thus had an obligation to pay taxes.

The singer has firmly refuted these allegations. She has consistently asserted that she was not residing in Spain during the period in question. While the prolonged legal proceedings continue, the trial is scheduled for November 20th. However, if convicted, she could not only face a hefty fine of $26 million but also serve up to 8 years behind bars.
