Many fans might not know that Shakira has an ongoing feud with fellow Colombian artist J Balvin for a while now. It upsets the Colombian music fans that they might never see two of the most important Colombian artists of recent years coming together to make music together.
The feud began in 2020
The feud began in 2020 after J Balvin mocked Shakira’s professional behavior in an interview. He was not alone as he was accompanied by other famous artists such as Will.i.am, and Maluma.
During the virtual interview, the interviewer asked Will.i.am with who he had to be “more flexible” with – either Jose (J Balvin) or Maluma. “I was more flexible with Shakira,” he replied. He was referring to how professional Shakira was. J Balvin then burst out laughing after hearing his reply and didn’t stop. Maluma interrupted him by saying, “Dude, that’s not funny at all.” but J Balvin kept laughing and said, “I’ve never worked with Shakira. I guess that’s how it must be. What do you guys have to say about it?”
