Shakira just collaborated with Fuerza Regida on their song “El Jefe,” which is about bad bosses, class divisions, and hard work. The combination of Shakira’s voice and regional Mexican sounds has resulted in an amazing song.
The music video is also impressive, showing Shakira and Fuerza Regida working in warehouses, dancing in alleys, and standing up against the bosses at a fancy dinner. There is even a reference to her ex-father-in-law’s long life. The video ends with Shakira dedicating the song to her longtime nanny, Lili Melgar, who was not given severance pay.
Fans have come up with theories about this dedication. Some believe that Melgar may have caught Shakira’s ex-partner Gerard Piqué cheating on her with Clara Chia MartÃ. There are rumors that Melgar was fired by Piqué in 2022, which is why Shakira sings about her not receiving severance pay in “El Jefe.”
Although none of these rumors have been confirmed by Shakira, Melgar, or Piqué, there are paparazzi photos that show Melgar taking care of Shakira’s children over the years. This, along with the lyrics of the song, suggests that Melgar played an important role in Shakira’s life.
Fans on social media have been reacting to Melgar’s appearance in the music video and expressing their gratitude towards her for supporting Shakira. Melgar’s daughter, Dariana Melgar, has also been sharing her excitement about her mother’s cameo in the video.
The collaboration between Shakira and Fuerza Regida, as well as the dedication to Melgar, has created a buzz among fans. The full music video can be watched here.
