Five months since its release, Shakira’s diss track with Bizarrap has 574 million views on YouTube. Apart from that, the duo dominated American music billboards for months. The Waka–Waka singer cashed out more than $2.5 million from this diss track itself. But she didn’t stop there. A month later, the singer released another track with her compatriot Karol G.

Undoubtedly, she lit the music industry on fire for those two months. But other than her gigantic fanbase, the Hips Don’t Lie singer wouldn’t have imagined anyone else to take notice of her. Surprisingly, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez knows who Shakira is! In a recent interview, the interviewer asked the Prime Minister if he recognized a certain lyric.

It was, “Women no longer cry, women get paid”, as translated by Google Translate. He was supposed to name the person who came up with this line. Without thinking twice, Pedro Sanchez had her name at the tip of his tongue. He immediately said, “Shakira”. Quite an eyebrow-raising moment for sure.
