In a surprising turn of events at the Latin Grammy Awards held in Sevilla, Spain, the infamous relationship saga of Shakira and Gerard Pique found its way back into the headlines. This time, however, the spotlight was on humour rather than heartbreak as Shakira bagged an award for her diss track about her ex, titled “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.”
The track, produced in collaboration with Argentinian DJ Bizarrap, is a cleverly crafted piece that takes subtle jabs at Pique without explicitly mentioning his name. Despite the diss nature of the song, it garnered attention not only for its catchy beats but also for the unexpected presenter of the award – none other than Spanish football legend, Sergio Ramos.
Ramos and Pique, both veterans of the game and icons of the Spanish national team, share a history of fierce rivalry. While representing the national side, they were teammates, but on the domestic front, Ramos played for Real Madrid, and Pique for Barcelona. The intense rivalry fueled by the El Clásico matches between the two clubs led to a strained relationship between the players.
At one point, their relationship was described as ‘broken,’ with public spats and disagreements making headlines. Despite the animosity, Sergio Ramos was given the unique task of presenting the Latin Grammy Award to Shakira in Sevilla.
The diss track, which was instrumental in Shakira’s win, served as a quirky backdrop to the awards ceremony. The cleverly worded lyrics of the song took playful shots at Pique, and the fact that Ramos, a longtime teammate and rival, presented the award added an element of unexpected humour to the occasion.
Notably, Pique, who had announced his retirement from football earlier, had a well-publicized breakup with Shakira in June 2022. The diss track, therefore, brought a light-hearted and amusing angle to their past relationship, creating a memorable moment at the Latin Grammy Awards.
