Shakira is making it pretty obvious at this point that her relationship with her ex Gerard Pique clearly did not end on good terms. According to reports, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer has sparked a family feud after placing a witch doll on her balcony at her Barcelona home, which is said to face opposite the house of her ex’s mother, Montserrat Bernabeu.
Sources say that neighbors could hear the singer “blasting” her latest song, “Shakira Bzrp Music Sessions 53,” which many fans are calling a diss track for its inclusion of lyrics that appear to be taking not-so-subtle shots at Pique and his new relationship with 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti. In one part of the track, she sings, “I’m worth two 22’s. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio,” seemingly referring to Marti, who reportedly began dating Pique at the age of 22.

Shakira continues to sing, “You left my mother-in-law as my neighbor, with the press at the door and the debt in the Treasury.” While the Colombian hitmaker was said to have shared a healthy relationship with Bernabeu, that’s all said to have changed after the couple’s split. One fan took to Twitter to react to Shakira putting a witch doll on her balcony, writing, “I cba with celebrity gossip but when I tell you that I’m LIVING for this Shakira-Pique smoke…”
Back in September, the Grammy award winner touched on her breakup from Pique for the first time in her interview with ELLE, referring to the aftermath of their split as “the darkest hour of my life.” Shakira, who shares two children, Sasha and Milan, with the former soccer player, shared that navigating life with photographers standing outside her home has been challenging, to say the least.
At the time of their split, it was alleged that Pique had cheated on Shakira, which is what ultimately caused the romance to end, though it remains unclear whether the reported affair was with Marti. “There have been days when I had to pick up the pieces of me from the floor. And the only way to do that, to actually do that, has been through music,” she told the magazine.
In response to Shakira’s lyrics: “You exchanged a Rolex for a Casio.”

“It’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult. I have paparazzi camping outside, in front of my house, 24/7. And there’s not a place where I can hide from them with my kids, except for my own house.”
