acrostic, the fourth song since Shakira ended with Piqué, implied her return to ballads, after interpreting reggaeton with Ozuna, a ‘tiradera’ against the soccer player by Bizarrap and a danceable TQJ with Karol G.

But the most striking thing about the song is that it is a dedication to Milan and Sashathe two children he had with Gerard Piqué and with whom he moved to Miami a little over a month ago, after years of living together in Barcelona, ​​where the former soccer player and his new love stayed: Clara Chía Martí.

The Colombian was not only showered with praise for such touching verses of the song, but also for the interpretation with Sasha, who stole the stare for such a melodious voice, and Milan, the older of the two brothers, playing the piano. Although Piqué did not like it very much.

As it became known, the former soccer player would take legal action against the Colombian for custody of their children.

There are hundreds of journalists, photojournalists and paparazzi who crowd around Shakira’s house to get a photo and this can violate the rights of the boysa matter that is not only strict in Miami, as it also happened in Barcelona.

But Piqué is sure that with all the boom that acrostic It will be much more difficult to make sure that the paparazzi are not after their little ones, especially when Shakira is taking them to most of the events that are on her social agenda, which has increased by 300% compared to what she had in Spain. and where he has met different personalities from the international jet-set, such as actor Tom Cruise, countless singers, former Burberry creative director Riccardo Tisci and many more.
