Bogota.-<\/strong> The singer Shakira<\/strong> denied this Friday that she supports either of the two candidates running for the Presidency of Colombia and asked that her image not be used for political purposes<\/strong> after a montage linking her to the left-wing candidate Iv\u00e1n Cepeda<\/strong> was published on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The images circulating of me supporting presidential candidates are false. I do not endorse any candidate, nor have I authorized the use of my image in any campaign,” stated Shakira in a message released by her team, emphasizing that she does not support Cepeda nor the far-right Abelardo de la Espriella.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the montage circulating on social media, the Colombian artist is featured on a poster where she appears between the leftist candidate and his vice-presidential running mate, Senator Aida Quilcu\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image carried the message “Wolfpack with the Historic Pact,”<\/strong> which associates the artist’s followers with the party that Cepeda and Colombian President Gustavo Petro are part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the complaint from the singer of ‘Waka waka’ and ‘Hips don’t lie’, the image was removed from social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My commitment is to Colombia<\/strong>, to its democracy and to the right of every Colombian to choose freely. My wish is that these elections take place with transparency and in an environment of peace for all Colombians,” added Shakira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first presidential round, last Sunday, De la Espriella obtained 10.3 million votes (43.78%), <\/strong>while Cepeda obtained 9.7 million (40.98%), according to consolidated data from the scrutiny and released by the National Electoral Council (CNE), and they will contest the runoff on June 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the artist is promoting the single ‘Dai Dai’ with Nigerian artist Burna Boy, the official song of the 2026 World Cup<\/strong>, which they will perform at the opening ceremony on June 11th at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
