Shakira continues to take shots at her ex-partner Gerard Pique, as evidenced by a preview of her new song “Empty Cup.” The singer shared a short clip on Instagram, which fans quickly identified as a reference to the couple’s breakup. Shakira has not been shy about incorporating Gerard’s infidelity into her music since their split in June 2022, which was prompted by an empty jar of jam in her fridge. Her previous release, “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” was particularly scathing and contained several references to Gerard’s new girlfriend Clara Chia. The new track, produced in collaboration with Manuel Turizo, is set to drop on June 29.
Shakira continues to throw shade towards her former partner Gerard Pique in a preview of her new track Empty Cup. The singer makes several references to their split, singing about his busy schedule and lack of attention towards her. Teasing the new song on Instagram, Shakira posted a video of herself surfing with the caption “On mermaid watch.” Shakira and Gerard ended their 11-year relationship last year after he was accused of cheating on her. Shakira first suspected the affair when she discovered a jar of strawberry jam had been consumed while she was away, which led to a reference in her music video for Te Felicito. ShowNews Today reported that Shakira knew her family didn’t like strawberry jam, so concluded someone else had been staying in their home.
Furious: The artist posted a brief video on her Instagram account featuring a snippet from her latest song. Fans quickly picked up on the fact that it related to her breakup with a soccer player in the previous year.
Epiphany struck the vocalist when she stumbled upon an empty jar of strawberry jam upon returning home, leading her to the shocking realization that her former significant other had been engaging in infidelity.
Shakira released a diss track in January that targeted her ex and his new girlfriend Clara Chia. In the music video for her single Te Felicito, she hinted at this by opening a fridge door to reveal Rauw’s head. Following the release of her diss track, Shakira topped Spotify’s Global Charts. She even made digs at her former mother-in-law by setting up a witch doll on her balcony that looked over her old home. The singer relocated to Miami, but residents reported hearing her new song blasting from her former home. Shakira made it clear in her song that she was referring to Gerard’s new girlfriend, saying, “I’m worth two 22’s. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio.” She also included a few choice words about her ex-mother-in-law in the song. Shakira is a mother to Milan and Sasha with Gerard. Earlier this month, she spoke emotionally about relationships after her split from the football player.
According to reports, Shakira placed a spooky life-sized witch doll on the balcony of her former Spanish home, which was situated overlooking her former mother-in-law’s residence.
Shakira is currently focusing on raising her children Milan and Sasha after her 11-year relationship with Gerard Pique ended in June of last year. During the inaugural Women in Latin Music gala, she shared her thoughts on faithfulness and remaining true to oneself rather than depending on others for love and acceptance. She encouraged women to search for themselves rather than seeking validation from others and reminded them of their strength, bravery, and independence. Meanwhile, rumors have surfaced that Lewis Hamilton and Tom Cruise are vying for Shakira’s attention. However, Shakira reportedly finds the rumors “hilarious” and has no plans to pursue anything further with Tom Cruise despite having a good time with him at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami.
