For the singer Shakira it is already a habit to let off steam through her music and her songs. If anyone had any doubt that the Colombian used her songs as an escape route, the release at the beginning of the year of the Bzrp music session vol. 53, a track that includes direct darts at Piqué and at her new dream, Clara Chía, confirmed that Barranquilla’s is an open book and that she creates her art from her own feelings.
This morning, Gerard Piqué’s ex published El Jefe on all musical platforms, a song in which she addresses a feminist issue that she aims to make visible: labor inequality. On this occasion, it is a collaboration with the Mexican group Fuerza Regida.
In this new song from Barranquilla, which has achieved more than 2.2 million views in its first four hours, there is a clear reference to Joan Piqué, the paternal grandfather of her children Milan and Sasha.
”They say that there is no evil that lasts more than a hundred years, but there is still my ex-father-in-law who does not set foot in a grave,” sings the winner of the award for best collaboration at the MTV Video Music Awards 2023. Although the businessman has so Only 63 years old and in good health, Karol G’s friend wanted to dedicate this sharp dart to her.
However, what has surprised the Colombian’s fans the most is the presence of Lili Melgar in the video clip. Melgar is Milan and Sasha’s nanny, a woman who has been working with the singer for years and who supposedly helped her find out about the situation she was experiencing at her house (Piqué’s infidelity).
In addition to giving her a close-up in slow motion in the music video, Shakira utters a phrase about the caregiver who has sparked controversy on the Internet: ”Lili Melgar, for you this song that they didn’t pay you compensation for”. According to some rumors and users on the Internet, this would be another direct attack on the Catalan family and the former soccer player, since he would have unfairly fired the worker without giving her the compensation that corresponded to her.
Dariana Melgar, daughter of the childminder, has shared different tweets showing how proud she is of her mother and how faithful she has been to the singer, as well as the great work capacity she has.
”I love you mom”, ”This song is for you MOM” or ”Despite everything, she continues working with SHAKIRA” are some of the messages and comments that the young woman has published on her official account of the platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
