    Shakira’s ‘Out of Your League’ song mocking ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique breaks YouTube records, is most watched Latin track in platform’s history
    The song Out of Your League video received more than 63 million views in a single day. Pique, on the other hand, responded to his most recent "Kings League" endeavour during a Twitch stream.

    Digital Desk: Shakira's latest song, which seems to make ridicule her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique, has received over 63 million views on YouTube, making it the most viewed new Latin music on YouTube ever. Pique, a former player for Barcelona, Manchester United, and the Spanish national team, and Shakira ended their 12-year relationship last year. Together, they have two kids. Clara Chia and Pique are now dating.
     
    In this new song, which is a collaboration with the Argentinian producer and DJ Bizarrap, Shakira says, “I’m worth two 22-year-olds,” adding: “You swapped a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo/You swapped a Rolex for a Casio.” The singer also adds, “a she-wolf like me isn’t for rookies” … “I was out of your league, which is why you’re with someone just like you”, and mentions that Pique should spend time training his brain too. In the song, she also refers to the press, her ongoing issues, and the Spanish tax authorities who accused her of not paying 14.5 million in taxes.
     
    She notes, "You left me with my mother-in-law as a neighbour, with the press at my door and a debt to the taxman." Shakira and her family lived in Barcelona between 2012 and 2014, thus she would have had to pay Spanish taxes on her worldwide income during those years, according to Spanish authorities. If she is found guilty, they want to condemn her to 8 years in prison and punish her more than 23 million euros. Shakira, however, claims she owes nothing to the nation's fiscal authorities and has accused them of mounting a "salacious" press campaign.
     
    In a single day, more than 63 million people viewed the video for the song Out of Your League. Pique, on the other hand, retaliated during a Twitch stream for his newest "Kings League" undertaking. Shakira claimed in her song that he had exchanged a Rolex for a Casio, and he later disclosed that his 7-a-side league had a sponsorship agreement with the watch company. "We agreed that Casio would support us in the Kings League. He claimed that Casio watches are fantastic and last forever. Then, "Why did the Casio come in?" inquired journalist Gerard Romero. While watching the stream, former Manchester City and Argentina forward Sergio Aguero responded, "Because of Shakira's song":
