Shakira surprised the participants during an interview in Billboard Latin Music Awards 2023. The singer revealed the bombshell news Her team tried to convince her to change the explicit lyrics of her big hit “Bizarrap.”
Shakira was very direct during the discussion and explained that she was frustrated with her team at the time. “Everyone leave me alone. I’m not a UN diplomat, I’m an artist. I am a woman, I am a wounded wolf.” She continued, referencing her highly publicized breakup with her former soccer player Pique.
“They told me I was crazy”
“They told me, ‘You’re crazy, you have to change these lyrics, this can’t be released.'” In the song, Shakira did direct allusions to her ex, taking him personally to task for his poor treatment of her and his affair with Clara Chia.
The Colombian admitted that she felt “very inspired” in that moment and still is “in love” with her work. “There were times when I had to be forced to go to the studio, I had to be dragged there. But it has always played a therapeutic role.” “I write the most when I’m feeling bad,” Shakira said.
