Fans react as ITF ends its Davis Cup agreement with the Kosmos Group

The head of the Kosmos Group, Gerard Pique, was in a long-time relationship with Colombian star Shakira. The couple was together for over 10 years and has two children together. Recently, they ended the relationship and Shakira followed it up with a song, ‘Out of your league’ to ridicule her ex-boyfriend.

While the two had a really long relationship, it ended on a sour note. Shakira used the song to slam Pique for leaving her to be with a 22-year-old. The song went viral on the internet and the fans sympathized with Shakira. Now that ITF ended its $3 billion worth, 25-year Davis Cup deal with the Soccer star’s company, fans are calling it Shakira’s curse. Here are a few reactions of fans from Twitter.
