The truth behind why I hate Shakira. She is objectifying women. Shakira is a singer. She is considered the Queen of Latin music. She is that bad bitch who forges her own path forward when she sees none. Shakira is also ridiculously smart. Seriously, right off her tour, she went and attended a class on ancient civilizations at UCLA. During the pandemic, Shakira took it a step further and completed a month long-distance learning course.
At the sound of the doumbek - a drum traditionally used for belly-dancing - the young Shakira jumped on the table to dance for the packed restaurant. When an aunt gave her a guitar for her eighth birthday, the convent-school-educated Shakira wrote her first song, Your Dark Glasses, as a tribute to her father "My idol," she declares.
She began to dream of a recording deal, eventually cornering a Sony executive in a local hotel lobby to sing to him. Shortly after, aged just 14, she released her first album, Magia, comprising songs she had written between the ages of eight and Neither that nor its follow-up, Peligro, set the Latin American charts alight, but Shakira remained undeterred and won a role in El Oasis, Colombia's answer to EastEnders except with more volcanic eruptions and, incredibly, even more tears.
In , the year-old had another stab at the music industry and released her third album, Pies Descalzos. It sold 4m copies and Shakira the pop star was born. Encouraged by Latin diva Gloria Estefan, wife of Shakira's then manager Emilio, she spent the next two years poring over rhyming dictionaries, the poems of Walt Whitman and the lyrics of Leonard Cohen, hoping to learn English.
Although I never thought people would talk so much about that line about shaving my legs every morning for my lover, or "my small and humble breasts"! That's just the colloquial language I like to use. Also, they are small and humble! Don't be fooled by the pictures. Having sort of mastered the language, she decamped to rural Uruguay to write her debut English-language album, Laundry Service. Even more significantly, she dyed her black hair blonde on the eve of the album's release in , to the disgust of a number of her original fans.
It was a fuss over nothing, she says. I'm not pretending to be American. Following the interview, some Shakira fans deemed that J Balvin was being disrespectful toward the Latin artist and called for the singer to be "canceled. If you actively use Twitter, you've probably seen one or two "cancel" parties.
She has done so much for latin music to be mainstream and the disrespect is disgusting JBalvinIsOverParty ," tweeted one fan. You're not about to talk s--t to a Latina queen that paved the way for you and countless others. Pathetic," posted this individual.
