Shakira is having the 2023 that she probably doubted she would have in 2022. After having to deal with a multitude of problems on a personal level due to her break with Gerard Piqué, the Colombian reemerged like a phoenix more empowered than ever and not only offered a new Shakira stronger, but has swept everything professionally, breaking all kinds of records.
A triumph on the charts that has been rewarded with the ‘Woman of the Year’ award at the first edition of the Billboard Latin Women in Music Awards, which she received from Maluma, who in addition to presenting her with the award and showing her his honey, he had the opportunity to accompany her on a night that the one in Barranquilla described as “perfect”.
It is not a secret that Maluma feels a deep affection and admiration for Shakira, and it is that you only have to listen to the words that the Antioquian dedicated to him before giving him the award. “Today I witness that Shakira writes her songs from her heart and her experiences. Shakira broke history with her lyrics, generating a hit that is now a female anthem.”
The Colombian artist also had a gesture with her that greatly attracted attention: he received the singer on stage crouched as a sign of respect, hugged her and made admiring gestures with his hands.
An award for which Shakira had a highly commented speech and with a dart including Piqué, how could it be otherwise;
It should be remembered that the Colombian singer played an unexpected leading role in the relationship between Shakira and Piqué a few years ago. In 2017, the two artists were working on Clandestino, and it seems that they got along so well that Piqué could not help but suspect then that there could be something between them.
This is how the paparazzi Jordi MartÃn, a regular follower of the couple, explained it a few weeks ago, who says that the former footballer came to show up at dawn in the middle of recording the video to make sure everything was going well.
Shakira and Maluma have never maintained more than a heartfelt friendship and a good professional relationship, but the man from Antioquia has been the only one, to date, who has made Piqué have the fly behind his ear.
Shakira and Maluma had previously worked on their song Chantaje (2016). They would also do it again after Clandestino, with Trap (2018).
