Since their relationship came to an end, Shakira and Gerard Piqué have been making the news. 

Shakira's newly released diss song “Out of Your League” is allegedly directed at her ex, the former footballer Gerard Piqué.

Shakira mocked Piqué and his new girlfriend in her song, singing, “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio.”

Some Twitter accounts impersonated Casio and shared satirical tweets alleging that they show the company's reply to Shakira’s song.

Shakira’s Explosive Song About Pique’s Betrayal 

With Argentine hitmaker Bizarrap, Shakira dropped the explosive song "BZRP Music Session #53."

As of November 18, the song had garnered more than 143 million views on YouTube.

Shakira sang of being betrayed by a lover who left her for a younger, less intimidating person.

"Sorry, baby, I should have thrown you out a while ago/ A she-wolf like me is not for rookies/ A she-wolf like me is not for guys like you/ I'm too good for you and that's why you're with someone just like you/ You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo/ You traded in a Rolex for a Casio," the Spanish lyrics say.
