The breakup between Shakira and Gerard Pique has been one of the most talked about topics for the last year. The manner of the breakup was box office for the media houses who grabbed their opportunity. This led to various people giving their take on the breakup and recently it is a former Real Madrid player revealed his take.
Former Real Madrid midfielder, James Rodriguez, recently talked about the breakup between Pique and Shakira. The statements made by the player have put him in a risk of getting canceled as he supported Pique.
While talking to a Colombian media outlet, Rodriguez stated that Pique has always been a very good person. The Colombian added that he wouldn’t speak badly of Pique after the incident like the others as he knows him personally.
He said: “I have shared with Piqué several times, so I cannot speak badly of him. For me, he is a good person. There are many people who do, because of what happened. But to me, he is good people”

(Translation: Jeez! Colombian player James Rodríguez has criticized Shakira for her recent songs. “I didn’t like them very much. I think this is resolved internally, even more so when you have children”).
Rodriguez also talked about his compatriot, Shakira’s diss songs after the breakup. He insisted that he didn’t like how the singer publicized her relationship problems instead of keeping them private. The former Everton player further stated that he didn’t like the songs even though a lot of women did.
He said: “I listened to them a bit, but no, I didn’t like them very much. No, they didn’t plot me, the women did, not me. I do not agree when things are published or when things about an outside relationship are said.”
It would be interesting to see how Shakira reacts to her compatriot’s statements. But there are apprehensions about the vested interests of Rodriguez being the reason behind this statement.
James Rodriguez to feature in Shakira’s ex-Gerard Pique’s Kings League
Rodriguez’s career has faced a decline ever since he went out on loan to Bayern Munich from Madrid. The Colombian then joined Everton before moving to Qatar club, Al-Rayyan, from where he transferred to Olympiacos.

The 31-year-old recently terminated his contract with the Greek club and is in search of a new club. But it is believed that the Colombian has already found his new home and it is none other than Pique’s Kings League.
Sergio Aguero, who owns one of the teams in the King’s League, recently revealed that Rodriguez would be playing for him. This puts a question mark on the genuineness of the comments made by Rodriguez in favor of Pique.
It would be interesting to see whether Rodriguez addresses these doubts raised by fans. Whether his comments had vested interests behind them or not is a question that only Rodriguez can answer.
