Just days ago, Shakira released a brand-new song namely Copa Vacia. This turned out to be yet another track in which she throws shade at her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique. Back in January, she released her first-ever diss track. The Latin American singer had collaborated with a popular Argentine DJ. Months after the megahit collaboration, the Argentine DJ shared the story of how he got to work with the Queen of Latin Pop.

For Shakira, it was due to her son’s insistence, she decided to give this a shot. Her son famously termed this Argentine DJ ‘the Argentine God’. Undoubtedly, the track turned out to become a $2.5 million masterpiece. And in his latest interview, BZRP told the fanbase about his experience working with Shakira.

Bizarrap took a ‘gamble’ by messaging Shakira

Without a doubt, Shakira’s collaboration with Bizarrap will truly be a memorable one. In previous interviews, the two of them have revealed that the Grammy Award winner had ghosted him for months. In this latest interview with El Hormiguero, the Argentine DJ also shared his experience and a few lesser-known facts about the ever-famous collaboration.

Bizarrap said, “I talked to her because I wrote to her and she didn’t see it. I took a gamble, because I didn’t know she was going to answer me. She answered me some time later and told me that her son was insisting to do a song with me”. Even the Waka–Waka singer has verified this. She had revealed that Milan was the one who suggested that she should collaborate next with the viral DJ.

He then revealed that he traveled to the singer’s home to record the track. Also, in relation to its fiery lyrics, he said, “I went to Barcelona to his house and there we did the song. I always allow singers to talk about whatever they want in their songs, saying what they feel”, as compiled by Mundo Deportivo and translated by DeepL.

In the $2.5 million sum, she earned $1.2 million from Apple, $512k from YouTube, and the rest from other music streaming platforms. This track mainly went viral for its fiery lyrics.

Here’s the ever-famous line from the track. “I’m worth two 22-year-olds. You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded in a Rolex for a Casio”. This line gathered tons of controversy on social media. But this diss track wasn’t the end of it. She continued composing hard-hitting songs. Her most recent release is in collaboration with Manuel Turizo in which she seemingly drops a hidden message.
