“If she isn’t going to help with money, she’d better say nothing”, said one user. What do you think about this? 👀

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake with its epicenter in San José del Palmar, Chocó, left dozens dead and cities such as Cali, Manizales, and Pereira with collapsed buildings. Amid the chaos, Shakira posted a message of support for her native country, expressing solidarity with those affected and calling for unity.

But not everyone received it the same way. On social media, some users came out to defend her, calling it a genuine gesture from a woman from Barranquilla who never forgets her roots.

Others were harsher and compared her to Karol G, accusing her of only saying a few emotional words or doing so out of convenience.

Maluma and J Balvin joined in by offering help, but it was Shakira’s message that ended up at the center of the controversy. 💬

A sincere gesture of solidarity or pure image calculation? Colombia is still counting its dead. 🇨🇴
