Shakira's new collaboration with Argentine producer Bizarrap, "BZRP Music Session #53," broke the internet when it dropped, even if there was hardly promotional activities done for it. The lyrics speak for itself - and speak to many women out there, it appears! Given its powerful lines, has it drove Clara Chia Marti into hiding?!
There was no doubt that the record-breaking diss track was directed at her ex-boyfriend Gerard Piqué and his new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti. People are wondering if Marti is hiding despite the fact that the former soccer player has turned to humor and is putting on a nonchalant face for the cameras.
Shakira targets both Piqué and Marti in the song, with lyrics such as ""I wish you good luck with my supposed replacement." "You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo/ You traded a Rolex for a Casio." It was done in Spanish, but it was sharp nonetheless!
According to HOLA!, the 22-year-old "replacement" has not been seen in public since the release of the song.
There are numerous reasons why Marti would want to avoid the public, such as feelings of embarrassment. However, according to journalist Laura Fa, the reason may be that Shakira implied Pique begged for a second chance.
"I'm not coming back with you. Don't even cry to me, don't even beg me," she sings.
If Marti is not embarrassed or angry with Pique, she may appreciate how he has been handling the situation.

The soccer player wore a Casio watch during a Twitch team and was photographed with a broad grin entering the King's game in a Twingo, demonstrating to the world his undying devotion to Marti.
If you had never heard of Shakira's extremely public break-up with longtime partner and soccer star Gerard Piqué, who left the 45-year-old star for a 22-year-old, you can hear all about it in "Vol. 53," which not only mentions Piqué and his paramour Clara Cha, but also goes into minute details.
The salaciousness has elicited literal and figurative gasps from fans, artists, and media pundits worldwide, who are accustomed to Shakira's songs being extremely personal (after all, her 2017 single "Me Enamoré" is about falling in love with Piqué), but also polite and more dependent on figures of speech than actual narrative.
"Vol. 53" flips the notion of "above it all," and that alone has sparked an endless debate on airing dirty laundry and on whether women in general, and Latina women in particular, are held to a double standard when it comes to taking a public stance against those who have wronged them.
