Prior to Son’s Insistence to Work With ‘Argentine God’, Shakira Ghosted Popular DJ Before Gerard Pique Diss Track Collaboration
Undoubtedly, fans will remember Shakira’s public feud with Gerard Pique for years. But her diss track with a popular Argentine DJ truly set a standard for every future diss track. While their collaboration first came across as a surprise, the singer had seemingly vented all her frustration in that song. Recently, the Argentine DJ i.e., Bizarrap revealed that Shakira had surprisingly ignored his messages for months.
The Latin American singer’s elder son then insisted that she should collaborate with him. At such a young age, the singer’s kids play an integral role in her music career. They are also taking their first baby steps toward becoming a global artist like their mother
Why did Shakira initially ghost Bizarrap?
This ever-famous diss track has helped Shakira re-peak in her career after her tragic breakup with Gerard Pique. Also, the Argentine DJ achieved an important personal milestone after releasing the track. Even five months after its release, the fans still grove to its beats on a daily basis. But would you believe that the singer ghosted Bizarrap, months prior to their fiery collab?
In a recent interview with El Hormiguero, he said, “I had written to her that I would like to collaborate with her and she did not see it”. He then revealed that she replied to him after quite a while. He continued, “He wrote back to me sometime later and told me his son was insisting he wanted to do a song with me”, as translated by Google Translate.
From just this diss track, the Colombian icon managed to make more than $2.5 million in revenue. She also broke ten Guinness World Records all by herself and four along with Bizarrap. But it didn’t end there. The two of them dominated music billboards and charts for months. Currently, the track has amᴀssed more than 578 million views on YouTube.
Interestingly, it was Shakira’s son’s idea to collaborate with Bizarrap. In fact, he was the one who convinced the singer. Let’s dive deeper.
Some months ago, the Colombian icon revealed that it was Milan’s idea to collaborate with Bizarrap. In an interview, she said, “He [Milan] told me, mommy, you have to do something with Bizarrap. He is the Argentine God”. The singer then revealed that she quite fancied the opportunity too. She said, “I’m ready for the next round, let life come and show me what else there is. I feel very creative”.
“It’s an incredible outlet that makes sense of everything”. This was not the only time her kids advised her regarding her music career. Her younger son Sasha designed the cover art for Monotonia. In May, Shakira surprised the fanbase with a new track namely Acrostico. For the song, Milan played the keyboard and Sasha helped with the vocals.
