The incident of Shakira being secretly filmed by an audience member with a phone placed at a sensitive angle has angered many people in recent days. Until recently, the singer's representative responded to this incident.
On the evening of September 14, Shakira performed at LIV Miami nightclub (USA) as part of the promotion for her new music product. While the "Queen of Latin music" was singing the song "Soltera" and swaying to its melody, someone near the stage held a camera and pointed it at her from a low angle.
Through the recorded panoramic clip, Shakira signaled to stop this action, at the same time used her hand to pull down her skirt and continue the performance. However, after a while, the female singer still saw the camera facing her, looking extremely offensive, so she shook her head and left the stage.
Immediately, security forces took Shakira to the VIP area. Anitta also came to calm the singer's panic and anger at being "harassed" in a crowded place. On social networks, a wave of indignation arose with many comments defending the "Queen of Latin music".
On September 19, the man who appeared in the disturbing clip (pointing the camera at Shakira from below) at the LIV Miami nightclub was identified as actually a member of her crew, according to Marca.
Sofia Bukele - communications director of Hispanic and Latam Media Relations, the company that is said to represent Shakira, gave the following explanation about the incident: "There are many rumors that a fan intentionally filmed Shakira under her skirt, but the truth is that the person filming the clip was her employee. This person was just recording Shakira's content at the nightclub."
Bukele also clarified that some websites wrote about "Shakira's awkward moment", but in reality the singer was not said to be panicked. "Shakira just asked the remaining fans to put their phones away so they could enjoy the moment with her, on a memorable night," the director added.
However, Marca said that this person's statement was not convincing because it did not explain the discomfort of Shakira as well as some other artists present that day such as Danna, Anitta, Lele Pons, models Winnie Harlow, Kyle Kuzma and French Montana. Currently, fans are still waiting for an official response from the female singer.
In another development, Shakira's name is being mentioned a lot when she was included in the list of "25 most influential pop artists of the 21st century" announced by Billboard magazine. Specifically, the female singer ranked 17th on this list.
According to Billboard magazine, ex-lover Gerard Piqué transformed Latin pop with his groundbreaking collaborations in the early 2000s, achieving global fame with hits like "Hips Don't Lie" and "Waka Waka," and influencing a new generation of artists across genres.
The 15-time Latin Grammy winner is also considered the most successful Latin female artist of all time, with 95 million records sold throughout her music career.
"Shakira has combined her Colombian roots with a deep pop sensibility, breaking down language barriers and paving the way for breakthroughs that non-English-speaking artists who have followed her have always found exciting," Billboard added.
It is also worth noting that songs like "Hips Don't Lie", "Waka Waka" and "BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53" with Bizarrap were hits that marked turning points in Shakira's career and to a greater extent her personal life.
The "Queen of Latin Music" is also mentioned a lot when setting an unprecedented record in her music career. Specifically, "Women No Longer Cry" - her 10th album, has surpassed 4 billion views on the online music platform Spotify.
"Women No Longer Cry" was released in March of this year and became the most successful album of Shakira's career, as it was the first album to reach that number. It consists of 16 songs, notably "TQG" and "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol".
Shakira looked clearly panicked, holding her skirt tightly with her hands because her phone was secretly filming her.
