SHAKIRA has raked in a staggering sum of cash from her latest song that takes swipe at her ex-Gerard Pique after their bitter split.
The Colombian pop star’s breakup has not been pretty but the singer’s new song apparently jabbing her ex has gained instant success less than two weeks after its release.
The 45-year-old artist released the tune on Spotify on January 11.
Called Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions Vol 53, the song surged to the top of Spotify’s Top 50 Global chart within days.
It also became the Latin song with the most streams in a single day.
According to Marca, the revenge song has already made her £419,150 from YouTube, £409,330 from Amazon, £294,720 from Spotify and £980,000 from Apple.

Shakira and Pique separated last summer and the song is believed to reference the Barcelona legend’s relationship with PR student Clara Chia, 23.
In the tune, Shakira sings: “I’m worth two 22s, you traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded a Rolex for a Casio… a lot of gyms, but work your brain a little bit too.”
It is believed those lyrics are directed at Pique and a deal that was struck for his new seven-a-side Kings League.
The former Manchester United defender turned up to a Kings League event in a Twingo car and has since signed a sponsorship deal with Casio.
He announced the latter partnership during an appearance on a live stream of the Kings League.
Other lyrics in the song read: “No hard feelings babe, I wish you good luck with my so-called replacement.
“I don’t even know what happened, you’re acting so weird I don’t even recognise you.”
Shakira described the break-up as incredibly difficult for their family.

She was expected to make the move earlier this month but had to postpone her plans because of the health of her ailing 91-year-old dad who was hospitalised in Barcelona.
