Mexico City, February 28. Colombian artist Shakira has claimed she is now on her own and will have to be ‘stronger than a lioness’ for the two children she has in her care, following the split from the former Spanish footballer Gerard Pique last year.
“There are shattered dreams and you have to pick up the pieces from the ground and rebuild yourself,” he said in an interview with journalist Enrique Acevedo, in his program “En Punto”, broadcast by the giant Televisa.
This declaration is the first made by Shakira after the break with the father of her children, Milan and Sasha, with whom she signed an agreement last December for the Colombian singer to remain in charge of minors in Miami (United States).
The voice of “Si te vas”, “Hips don’t lie”, “Loca”, “Beautiful Liar”, among others, said that for this force to be true and not a facade, “it must be a force as the result of living a duel, of accepting it, of understanding, of enduring the frustration, that there are things in life that don’t go the way you want”.
After the success and controversy generated by her “Session 53” collaboration with Argentinian producer Bizarrap, the singer said that her production allowed her to find a moment of catharsis and that it changed her life.
“I entered the studio on one side and came out on the other. That’s one of the things I’m grateful to Biza for, that opportunity to let off steam and it was a great vent, also necessary for my healing, for my own recovery process. I think I would be somewhere else if it wasn’t for that song,” he said.
In the song, released under the title “BZRP Music Session #53”, which has millions of views on all streaming platforms, Shakira launches sentences against Piqué and his current partner, Clara Chía, after the scandal that has arisen. implicated after it was revealed he had a mistress.
It is not the first song in which the Colombian artist sends messages to Piqué since their breakup, since he also has the singles in 2022 “I congratulate you”, with Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro, and “Monotonía”. , in collaboration with Ozuna, of the same nationality.
The Colombian insisted that music has helped her in her grieving process and assured that “the opposite of depression is expression”.
Shakira also pointed out that after their separation, she stopped believing in “the story that a woman needs a man”, as well as in the dream that a mother and a father live under the same roof with their children.
“I also had this dream of having a family in which the children would have a father and a mother under the same roof. Not all of life’s dreams come true, but life finds a way to compensate you in one way or another and I think with me it did more than it did with those two kids.” , he explained.
A VOICE FOR WOMEN
The singer added that she is currently in a position where she feels she has a duty to use her voice to lend it to those who cannot speak.
“I realized that women are at a really pivotal time for society,” she said.
In addition, she assured that all the support women can receive from each other is extremely important, and recalled the sentence: “There is a place reserved in hell for those women who do not support others” .
