Shakira and Karol G have announced that their new collaboration song, titled TQG, will be dropping on Friday 22 February. Previously, Shakira released a revenge track called Te Felicito aimed at her ex, Gerard Pique, and his new girlfriend Clara Chia. In a sultry Instagram post, the two Colombian music stars, Shakira at 46 and Karol G at 31, teased fans with a sneak peek of their upcoming song TQG, which is rumored to be another diss track. The singers were pictured in sexy stone age inspired outfits, both on their knees, in a promotional image for the new single. They shared the exciting news with fans, stating “We know you are waiting for it and here we are. @KarolG x @Shakira TQG February 24 00.00.”
It’s official: Shakira, 46, and Karol G, 31, were spotted striking a sultry pose in a photo on Tuesday night. The Colombian superstars excitedly announced that their latest song titled TQG is set to drop on Friday, February 22nd.
Shakira and Gerard, who have two sons together, ended their 11-year relationship in June 2022 amid rumors of his infidelity with Clara, as seen in a photo from 2014.
In a new development, Gerard, who recently ended his 12-year relationship with Shakira, shared a cozy photo with his new girlfriend Clara Chia, 23, on social media last month. The couple also revealed the release date for their new single as snippets of a rumored diss track aimed at Gerard Piqué started to surface.
According to reports from Telemundo’s show Hoy Dia, both Shakira and Karol G will be addressing their exes in the upcoming song. Shakira’s lyrics, in Spanish, hint at feelings of neglect, while Karol G’s lyrics suggest she kept her ex looking good. The artists have hinted that TQG stands for “Te quedó Grande,” which translates to “You were out of your depth” in English.
Karol G, who hails from Medellin and has experience in reality TV, shared with NY Times that Shakira will be venting a lot of pent-up anger in the song. After Shakira listened to the track, she reportedly expressed gratitude, saying the lyrics perfectly capture her current emotions.
Meanwhile, Gerard, 36, who has two sons with Shakira, went public with his relationship with Clara Chia on Instagram last month.
Guess what Shakira found? She came to the shocking realization that her ex was cheating on her when she noticed a partially eaten jar of strawberry jam in her fridge after being away.
Shakira made a not-so-subtle reference to a jar of strawberry jam in her music video for Te Felicito, where she included a clip of her collaborator Rauw Alejandro. The footballer, who recently ended his 12-year relationship with the singer, shared a cozy picture with a young PR professional on social media. This move came after Shakira threw shade at Clara in a diss track with DJ Bizarrap that topped Spotify’s Global Charts.
Reports suggest that Shakira suspected infidelity when she returned home to find a jar of strawberry jam missing, knowing that her family didn’t like that particular spread. She even incorporated this incident into her music video, where she opens a fridge to find Rauw Alejandro’s head. Additionally, there were claims that Shakira started building a wall to separate her home from her ex-mother-in-law’s residence post the breakup, and even placed a witch doll on her balcony overlooking the former in-law’s place.
Local residents have been buzzing about Shakira playing her latest song at maximum volume, with lyrics seemingly targeted at her ex-partner’s new girlfriend. In the song, Shakira boldly compares herself to two luxury cars, highlighting the downgrade her ex made by trading her in. Not stopping there, she also throws a few jabs at her former mother-in-law, expressing frustration about the situation with the media and financial issues. Sources suggest that Shakira’s relationship with Montserrat Bernabéu, Gerard’s mother, has soured due to her support of her son’s new relationship.
