The Colombian singer-songwriter released her latest single at the end of last Aprilweeks following making his break with the soccer player official following almost 12 years of relationship and 2 children in common, and since then this has become one of the most viewed on the video platform.
Till the date, the video of the song in which he sings in collaboration with reggaeton player Rauw Alejandro has more than 300 million views. For this reason, it is not surprising that it has been displayed in various parts of the planet.
WHY WOULD FLORINDA MEZA SUE SHAKIRA?
A) Yes, The images of the barranquillera making some robotic steps reached Mexico, but there a certain similarity was found with the movements made by the remembered “Chespirito” when he played “The Chavo of 8″ and this expressed his extreme fear.
The interdicts of an alleged lawsuit by Florinda Meza, widow of Roberto Gómez Bolaños and one of the heirs to his fortune and legacy, took greater strength as a result of some statements made by the 73-year-old actress in which she is consulted regarding the subject and she is seen to be half excited.
For now, Meza has not referred to the subject once more, while on the other side, from Shakira’s side, there has been no statement. Thus, we will have to wait for one or both artists to speak explicitly regarding the matter.
SHAKIRA HAS ALREADY SUFFERED LAWSUITS FOR PLAGIARISM IN MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS
The reality is that the author of “Ciega, deaf-mute” already has a history when it comes to this type of problem. And it is that Shakira already suffered two previous demands for copies.
The first was performed by Jerry Rivera for his song “Amores como el Nuestro” (1992): some melodies were repeated in the song “Hips don’t lie”, a South American song that became quite popular in the context of World Cup in Germany 2006.
In 2010, in the next World Cup, in South Africa, Shakira was in charge of the song of the event and launched the “Waka Waka”; however, some time later Wilfrido Vargas filed a complaint for plagiarism of his original song “El negro no puede”. Thus, Piqué’s ex had to reach a millionaire settlement so that the issue does not end in court.
