Florinda Meza spoke about the possible lawsuit against Shakira for “I congratulate you” and was forceful: “There is no basis”

Shakira has been one of the characters of the European and American summer, first because of his separation from Gerard Piqué that has generated all kinds of reactions and even legal disputes, and then for an alleged legal problem that a Mexican actress was going to initiate once morest him. It all started when some network users noticed that During the popular song “Te Felicito”, recently released with Rauw Alejandro, the Colombian performs a dance step very similar to “la garrotera” who attacked Chavo del 8 during the humorous program.

In the video for the song, Shakira simulates robot steps that were compared to the moment when fear seizes Chavo del 8, played by the late Roberto Gómez Bolaños. The versions that began to circulate ensured that the creator’s widow, Florinda MezaI would sue her, considering it plagiarism.

Shakira’s dance in “I congratulate you” caused controversy among users who accused her of plagiarism

Unfortunately for the Colombian, this is not the first time that she has faced such an accusation. The most recent was with the hit “La bici” performed with Carlos Vives, when the Cuban Livam Castellano sued both for what he considered the plagiarism of a couple of phrases. The sentence favored them and a court in Madrid dismissed the lawsuit: “The lyrics of the music in four words are the same, but lacking substantiality regarding the quantitative and qualitative character, as for the melody there is no coincidence; the rhythm speed and harmony are also different.”

The success of the World Cup in South Africa, “Waka Waka”, also aroused suspicion and some rumors suggested that they would have to be held accountable in court at the request of Wilfrido Vargas because of the similarity with the theme “El negro no puede”. The rumor was just that and it did not come out because the singer himself dismissed the facts by assuring that he had taken the song from the same source as Shakira.

However, this time the artist from Barranquilla will not be involved in a legal conflict. The singer did not position herself on the matter, but Meza did and, through Twitter, she stopped the rumors: “The news that I am going to sue Shakira is false. Sometimes, to sell or gain likes, the media and social networks make up stories”. And he added: “There is no basis in this news. I have never said anything regarding it. It’s a lie”. The actress added her signature to the tweet for authenticity and a screenshot of Shakira’s video.

Regarding the rights of Chavo del 8, the actress Florinda Meza clarified last year that she would be part of any purchase negotiation because she is also the author@florindamezach1 – @florindamezach1

Immediately, the users reacted and one of them responded to the Mexican’s release: “Is it jo…? Clarification was needed, it is obvious that no one in the world ever thought that this was real “and, with kindness, Florinda justified the publication:” You are right, but believe it or not, Several journalists called me to find out if it was true. And many fans seriously asked me. And if I clarify it now, it is because they began to tell me, please, do not sue her, as if that were real. I send you a hug”.

Regarding the rights of Chavo del 8 that following the death of Gómez Bolaños have caused controversy, Meza warned last year: “I make it clear to the public that whoever buys the literary rights buys, I was a co-author, I have to be there by forcenot by will, but by co-author, I collaborated, so they have to respect that, they have to respect copyright, they would have to negotiate with me or there will be consequences”.
