The soccer world is aware of Shakira and Gerard Pique’s ugly breakup. It would be a huge surprise if there were fans who did not have any knowledge about what has been brewing between Shakira and Pique. For context, Pique reportedly cheated on the Columbian singer with multiple women quite some time ago. But his affair with a Spanish student, Clara Chia Marti, was when Shakira decided to end it all.
That was when it all came crashing down for Pique and his family. The former couple has two children; Sasha and Milan. As many sources suggest, Shakira will have custody of the kids and will live in the USA, and the former Barcelona star would be allowed to visit them at times. Neither of them publicly addressed Pique’s cheating rumors until Shakira released a song and went in on her ex-boyfriend.
The singer famously claimed, “You traded a Rolex for a Casio,” to which Pique responded by mentioning that Casio watches last a lifetime. Earlier this month, reports mentioned that another song might be in the works, and Shakira might take shots at Pique once again. It leads us to wonder how it affects Shakira’s career, but it would be safe for us to claim that she is making the best out of it right now.
Fans react to Shakira’s songs about Gerard Pique making more than $22 million
According to a report, the Columbian singer has made more than a staggering $22 million just from the songs targeted at Pique. This is no ordinary feat even for the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ fame who has produced some of the biggest hits in the Latin music industry.
Her song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, ‘Waka Waka,’ is still widely regarded as one of the best World Cup songs of all time. The video has accumulated 3.4 billion views on YouTube and continues to rise even after more than a decade.

It certainly looks like Shakira has chaneled her inner Taylor Swift. For those who don’t know, the American singer has released various break up songs over the years and hasn’t backed down from an opportunity to take a dig at her exes. It is no secret that these songs have garnered billions of views and still continue to do so, mainly because of how the audience can relate to them.

A fan even mentioned that “Women no longer cry, they cash in” on the opportunities that rise in front of them. It certainly indicates how Shakira has made the best out of her situation but is also taking her time to move on from heartbreak. Another fan even mentioned Taylor Swift and sarcastically pointed out that she has amassed a huge net worth of $450 million from just break up songs.

Another Twitter user pointed out that Shakira was making millions while restaurant owners allegedly kicked Pique and Clara Chia out. The dramatic saga between Pique and Shakira continues as fans watch from the sidelines. It would be interesting to see if the singer releases another song soon and how the former soccer player would react to it.
