Fraud Shakira argues that she resided in the Bahamas to justify that she did not commit fraud against the Treasury
What was promised is a debt and
Shakira
(47) is about to fulfill to the letter
what she has been preaching for months
.
Apparently, the singer's new lyrics will exude sincerity, pain and spite... Or, at least,
that is what is interpreted from some of the titles
that the Colombian has revealed this Thursday.
With a surprising publication on Instagram - which includes photos of
Spotify advertisements in the United States and Latin America
-, the well-known performer has revealed the list of songs that will include
Las mujeres no ya cry
.
It is an album with 17 songs: eight new and nine that have already been released, such as
Te felicito
or
Monotonía
.
According to his fans, among his new creations three stand out that could make direct reference to his ex
Gerard Piqué
:
How, where and when
(which has made some of his followers think that it is about the footballer's love affair with Clara Chía),
Ultima
and
Nassau
.
A song that makes a clear allusion to the capital of the Bahamas.
For Shakira,
the Bahamas is fundamental
to her story.
According to her own account, her interest in the Caribbean country arose when she learned that music greats
had recorded important songs
near her beaches.
"I decided to record in a legendary studio, where Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and The Cure passed through," she commented, more than two decades ago.
"After passing through there, I wanted to investigate a little and with each new album I came back...
Until one day we decided to buy a house
here and settle down," he told the Argentine presenter Susana Giménez, in an interview in which the plural was spoken, encompassing her
and her former boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa
in the noun "we."

Shakira and the son of former president Fernando de la Rúa separated in 2010. However, the
Waka Waka performer
retained her love for the Bahamas
.
What's more, a year later she decided to buy Bonds Cay, along with Roger Waters.
A paradise island - with hotels, waterfalls and golf courses - that is intended to be a retreat for artists.
During her relationship with Piqué, which lasted between 2010 and 2022, the couple and their children visited the Bahamas on numerous occasions.
For example, in 2016, when
they were photographed on a slide, in 2017
and in 2021 - when they spent several weeks, royally, in great hotels - and, the following year, when they were no longer together.
What happened?
In August 2022, the woman from Barranquilla and the Catalan
decided to meet at a point
that was neither Miami, a very comfortable territory for her, nor Barcelona, an ideal place for him, and, finally, they opted for a fairly neutral place:
the house of Shakira in Nassau
, where they supposedly met to discuss the custody of their children.
TAX AUTHORITIES
Until now, no one knows the content of that conversation.
However, Shakira could be about to reveal it in her song.
However, on the networks, there are those who believe that
Nassau
could be about her problems with the Treasury
and the fact that she declared that she lived in the Bahamas, for a certain period of time, and not in Spain.
As is public knowledge, the Latina claimed to have had tax residence in Nassau since 2007. Despite this, tax inspectors managed to demonstrate - thanks to electricity bills, telephone bills,
expenses on her cards and traffic fines
- that the person responsible for Hips Don't Lie did reside regularly in Barcelona between 2012 and 2014.
After months of speculation and several headaches, the trial against Shakira ended on November 20, 2023. The singer assumed that she had defrauded the Treasury of
14.5 million and accepted a prison sentence
(which she will not serve), a fine of 7 .3 million and another of 432 thousand euros.
Since then, Shakira has not addressed the issue.
But if she were to let off steam on her new album, no one would be surprised.
Above all, after the success of her collaboration with Bizarrap and that verse that gives life to the album's title: "
You thought you hurt me and made me harder
. Women no longer cry, women make money."
