The two German rappers probably didn’t expect that! Latin American singer Shakira (43) has filed suit against Samra (25) and his rap colleague Kalazh44.

The two rappers released a song called “Shakira” on June 19. In it they rap in one line: “Draw Colombian coke like Shakira”. On the accompanying single cover, a woman is also depicted drinking drugs, who looks very similar to the “Loca” interpreter.

Rappers defend themselves against the allegations
This obviously went too far for Gerard Piqué (33), the partner of the footballer. The Colombian newspaper “El Tiempo” writes that she should now have the impression that the rappers have misused her name and image.

After it became known that Shakira was taking legal action, rapper Kalazh44 commented on Instagram with the following line: “I don’t like an argument because I prefer peace. But it depends, I have beef with Shakira! »

A little later he then commented on the current situation in more detail. As he said, the controversial cover image is not a photo montage, but a photograph. He and his team discovered and photographed this in a bar in Barcelona (Spain). «That means: there is nothing stolen. There was this cover, we said: ‘Okay, everything cool, we’ll take it down.’ And now all this shit is happening, ”says Kalazh44.

In addition, the two rappers emphasize that the title name “Shakira” is not legally protected and is therefore free to use.

Youtube shit storm against the rap duo
Because of the public outcry, the song has already been removed from the streaming platform “Spotify”. On the YouTube platform, where the song is still available, a shit storm against the two rappers spreads. The YouTube video has already been commented on over 8000 times.

In addition to countless comments written in Spanish, one of the users wrote in German: «Hey people, from what I’m reading here, I get the feeling that you don’t understand the importance of cocaine in Colombia. Forgets Narcos and the rest of the Hollywood films. The drug trade has killed acquaintances, friends and family members from us. They didn’t die because they took coke, but because they fought against corruption. » (frk)
