Shakira has put an end to her problems with the Treasury in Spain. The Colombian singer reached an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office to plead guilty to committing tax fraud after her children expressly asked her to do so. In this way, Shakira has accepted a three-year prison sentence that she will not have to serve and a fine that exceeds 7 million euros.
The amount of the fine has perplexed her fans, who, in an act of solidarity, have launched a campaign on social networks to support their idol. The initiative, promoted by a fan through her X account, has quickly gone viral with more than 6,000 reposts and 42,000 likes.
“I am willing to listen to Shakira 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because we all pay that fine, my queen. Shak never abandoned me in my ways, I am not going to abandon her now,” said Ana C. Duke.
In this way, it seems that it can be profitable for Shakira to have such a loyal legion of fans. In the event that this user’s promise is fulfilled, her fans would dedicate themselves to playing Shakira’s songs on all possible platforms to increase her income and help her pay the fine.
This strategy to help Shakira has found the support of many followers, who believe it is appropriate to make an effort so that the Colombian continues to earn money. “As long as I live and have Spotify, Shakira will not lack reproductions,” said a user who agrees with listening to the Barranquilla’s songs constantly.
However, users have also emerged outraged by this measure. As they have explained, Shakira’s assets are large enough to face this fine without anyone’s help: “It would be surreal if they raised a fund to pay her fine. Shakira doesn’t need it but it would be very surreal.” Others have remembered that a good way to help, but with a compensation, would be to attend her concerts en masse.
