- Shakira has launched a diss track, seemingly aimed at her ex-partner Gerard Piqué.
- "I was out of your league and that's why you are with someone like you," one of the lyrics says.
Shakira appears to blast her ex-partner, former FC Barcelona soccer star Gerard Piqué, with a diss track that has broken a YouTube record.
The singer and songwriter, renowned for smash hits like "Whenever, wherever," and "Hips don't lie," dropped a new song "BZRP Music Session #53" Thursday on YouTube.
At the time of publication Friday, the video had been watched 71 million times — a platform record for the most-watched new Latin song, according to The National.
Shakira's lyrics appear to be directed at Piqué, who she dated for 11 years. She and the 2010 FIFA World Cup champion and four-time UEFA Champions League winner split in 2022 amid rumors of his infidelity.
In the video, Shakira sings: "I'm worth two 22-year-olds" and "you swapped a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo … you swapped a Rolex for a Casio."
She later adds: "I wouldn't go back to you, even if you cried or begged me … I was out of your league and that's why you are with someone like you."
To help promote the song and video, a plane flew banner over Mar del Plata in Argentina, which said: "A she-wolf like me is not for someone like you."
The track is a collaboration with an Argentinian DJ called Bizarrap.

Shakira, The National reports, wanted to live in Miami but has to stand trial in Spain, where she's accused of tax fraud.
She could be liable for a fine of $26 million after the Spanish government charged her with evading taxes worth millions of dollars between 2012 and 2014, as per The New York Times.
Shakira and Piqué have two children together.
