Shakira has broken YouTube records with a diss track about her former partner (and baby daddy) Gerard Piqué and his new girlfriend. Shakira and Piqué were together for more than a decade and share two kids.
Following their split, Piqué, an ex-footballer who previously played for Barcelona, Manchester United and the Spanish national team, has been dating 23-year-old publicist Clara Chía.

The track racked up a huge 63 million YouTube views in a mere 24 hours, earning it the crown of the most-watched new Latin release in YouTube’s history (at the time of writing it’s at a cool 118 million views).
The track, which is a collaboration with Argentinian producer and DJ Bizarrap, features lines like “I’m worth two 22-year-olds,” and “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo / You traded a Rolex for a Casio.” Shakira also makes reference to her mother-in-law and her ongoing battles with Spanish revenue authorities, who maintain the singer owes a hefty 14.5 million euros in taxes.
In response, Piqué persuaded Casio to become a sponsor of Kings League (a new 7-a-side league run by Piqueé in Spain) and turned up to one of their events in a Twingo.
