Shakira reveals that they wanted to prevent her from publishing the song against Gerard Piqué: "I am not an official"

Few people feel as good about a break as Shakira. The singer is in one of her best moments, both personal and professional, despite her complicated separation from Gerard Piqué. And it is that the Colombian has been able to overcome this process, among other things, thanks to her latest songs, which she has used as therapeutic tools.

Each song by the composer reaches the top of the reproduction lists, and the last one has been Copa vacía, along with Manuel Turizo. Although this new single does not have so many direct references to the father of her children, there are several pullitas that she has launched from Barranquilla to her ex. But, without a doubt, the most explosive was her topic with Bizarrap, of which she has confessed that she hardly sees the light.

Shakira has decided to give an interview to the Univisión program Primer Impacto, where she has opened up on the channel when it comes to talking about her professional projects, her future plans and her new life with her children in Miami. The Mexican presenter Alejandra Espinoza has traveled to Paris to have a chat with the singer in which she has revealed for the first time what her team thought of her when she heard her session with Bizarrap.

The journalist wanted to know the Colombian's opinion regarding the success of the song, which has ended up becoming a hymn for women. "I didn't think she was going to be so emblematic," the singer has recounted. But it seems that she may not have seen the light. "A lot of people around me and my team told me: 'No, you're not going to release that song Shakira,'" she has confessed.

And it seems that the singer's close circle did not agree with the lyrics of the song, directly attacking her ex, and asked for a change: "But what are you thinking about?" Of course, she was very clear about it and did not give in at any time. "And I said no, I am not an employee of the United Nations, a public official, I am an artist and I have to express myself," she added.

For Shakira, it is very important to express her feelings and "sublimate those emotions". So she ignored the advice of her team and moved on. "It is that I have no other way to do it. And that freedom of expression is not negotiable.", She has concluded her.

The Colombian has also wanted to address the success that she is experiencing in recent months in her career. "The definition of success is so subjective... I think for me success is just doing what you want and what you like," the singer has expressed. "These songs that I've been writing and sharing with people are a reflection of my inner world," she added.

In addition, he has not lost the opportunity to thank his followers for being so unconditional. "I think I have the best fans in the world. They are the most beautiful... They know me so much, they understand me, they accompany me, they defend me... I feel very supported by them," Shakira has expressed.
