Football legend Gerard Piqué is having a tough few months. He retired from football back in November 2022, and now his ex-girlfriend Shakira has released a new song “BZRP Music Session #53” that takes down both him and his girlfriend Clara Chía Marti.
A collab with Bizarrap, the song has some rather scathing lyrics for the now former footballer. Perhaps the renowned defender will have some defense against this devastating attack, but it doesn’t look like it.
Here’s the Shakira’s song lyrics, which were translated by Genius, with a hat tip to our colleagues at Cosmopolitan Middle East.
The song starts as such:
You left me as a neighbor to the mother-in-law
With the press at the door and the debt at the IRS
You thought you’d hurt me, but you made me tougher
Women don’t cry anymore, women invoice
The chorus then refers directly to Clara Chía Marti.
A she-wolf like me ain’t for dudes like you, uh-uh-uh-uh
For dudes like you, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
I’ve outgrown you and that’s why you’re with a girl just like you
The later section of the song ends with some particularly devastating shots from Shakira.
No hard feelings, baby, I wish you the best with my supposed replacement
I don’t even know what happened to you
You’re so weird that I can’t even tell you apart
I’m worth two 22’s
You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo
You traded a Rolex for a Casio
You’re going fast, slow down
Ah, a lot of gym
But work-out your brain a little too
Pictures wherever I am
I feel like a hostage here, it’s all right with me
I’ll let you go tomorrow and if you want to bring her along, bring her along too
Gerard Piqué and Shakira in better days
This is a far cry from the days when Pique was being labelled as the most handsome man in football.
Back in 2016, Esquire spoke to Adam Brady from award-winning London barbers Ruffians to find out how those of us without Pique’s talent or money can at least get his seemingly winning combination of barnet and facial hair.
“Pique has got thick, straight hair. The good news for this hair type is that it shows no sign of diminishing; the bad news is that it has a tendency to stick out quite prominently, meaning that a mid-long look is never going to be ideal,” explains Brady.
“However, Pique has managed to ‘tackle’ this dilemma, by going for a tight back and sides. It’s not too short though, so it still manages to retain some texture. The barber has given him a gradual taper up towards the top section, with no disconnection. The hair on top is choppy, natural and textured, bringing in this year’s most sought after men’s hair trend.
Brady continued: “It’s a low maintenance cut – there is not much effort involved in the day to day styling: just run through the roots of the hair and use fingers to shape. Perfect for an active lifestyle, really.
“The beard has improved his look hugely, elongating his face and concealing a quite small chin. He has kept it reasonably tight to his face in order to accentuate his cheekbones. Gerard has definitely not reached Pique beard… (sorry).
“A great product to achieve the Pique look is Ruffians Styling Pasteuffians Styling Paste, naturally.”
