Since January, Shakira has been in a never-ending public feud with Gerard Pique. For half of 2023, the two of them have publicly taunted and embarrassed each other. The Waka–Waka singer started it all with her diss track in collaboration with Bizarrap. Without a doubt, that track lit the music industry and Pique’s life on fire. Since then, it had been quite a struggle for him and his family in the public eye.

His current partner, Clara Chia Marti, had a tough time dealing with public criticism in the beginning. However, she has now controlled her interaction with the media. A few weeks ago, the soccer veteran indirectly responded to one of her taunts from the diss track with Bizarrap. Let’s find out more about the same.

Shakira’s collaboration with Bizarrap can really cut you apart. The hard-hitting lyrics still echo in the fan’s minds so many months later. Due to this diss track, the FC Barcelona legend became a laughingstock on social media. Following that, the fans took every opportunity to humiliate him in public spaces. The soccer veteran had to once abruptly depart from an NBA game in embarrassment.

From her diss track with Bizarrap, this was one of the lines, “Ah, so much time at the gym. But maybe work out your brain a bit too”. The retired soccer star did not respond to this taunt immediately. A few weeks ago, he was conversing with DjMaRiiO. The YouTuber asked him if he had been to the gym. And Pique’s response raised quite a few eyebrows on social media.

He said, “I have not been to the gym in my life. The gym has been a dilemma my whole career. They also put us the gym (when I was in Barcelona) that to enter the locker room you had to go through the gym. It was like a message saying, ‘Touch a machine’”, as compiled by Marca and translated by Google Translate.

During that same conversation, Pique also dismissed all the rumors regarding a possible return to the sport as a player. He said, “I have not played sports for six months, since I retired”. He also made it clear that he wouldn’t even kick a ball in his very own Kings League. Heartbreakingly, he also indirectly closed the window on a possible free transfer to ‘Wrexham’!

Without a doubt, Gerard Pique has served FC Barcelona for more than a decade. The fans should ideally respect his abrupt decision to stay away from the sport after retirement. Nonetheless, he is still making plenty of money. The soccer veteran cashed out around $3 million as profit from the first season of the Kings League.
