It’s a beautiful thing whenever we see Shakira shake her famous, non-lying hips (see Super Bowl LIV).

But a new video of her doing just that is raising some eyebrows across the Internet.

The 48-year-old superstar, who’s in the midst of her “Mujeres Ya No Lloran” tour, was seen earlier this week in a TikTok with Colombian singer Beéle, 22.

The two artists, who recently collaborated on the song “Playa, Sol y Arena,” appear to be in a recording studio, dancing to the beat of fellow Colombian Niña Emilia’s “Currucuchú.”

The clip went viral, and not just because of the Barranquilla natives’ sultry moves. Beéle, real name Brandon de Jesús López Orozco, is currently being sued by his ex-girlfriend for revenge porn TMZ first reported.

Local model Isabella Ladera claims in papers filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court Sept. 15 that Beéle leaked a private sex tape of them after they split. The Venezuelan influencer alleges invasion of privacy, sexual cyberharassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. The amount of damages the 26-year-old woman is seeking is unclear.

Beéle, who is rumored to have left his ex-wife and mother of his two kids, Camila “Cara” Rodriguez, for Ladera, denies all allegations.

“His artistic career and international reputation rule out any motive or interest in engaging in such actions. Beéle is also a victim of the non-consensual exposure of his private life,” his lawyers said in a statement. “We reject all forms of violence and will continue to pursue legal channels to ensure the comprehensive defense of his rights.”

“No one should take advantage of another’s vulnerability to make money or create content,” Ladera said in a statement. “This is not entertainment; it is a crime, and the only thing it leaves behind are scars.”

This accusation comes on the heels of a legal victory for Beéle. Earlier this month, the “Frente al Mar” singer won in court against Rodriguez, whom he sued for physical, psychological and economic abuse.

Still, it’s not a great look and the timing is cringey; naturally, the followers let Shakira know in the comments section:

“Nooo...He’s worse than Pique,” referring to Shakira’s ex, soccer star Gerard Pique, who left Shakira for another woman.

“No one supports this.”

“There are things that, out of ethics, one shouldn’t do, not even for all the money in the world.”
