Fake News: Barcelona Kit Will NOT Feature Shakira Logo
Update: Obviously, the story regarding a potential FC Barcelona home shirt with a Shakira sponsor logo was just a cheap fake to troll people because Shakira and Piqué recently broke up, which caused a lot of media attention.
Additionally, Gerard Piqué is one of the persons mainly responsible for recent bad results, another potential reason for spreading this fake story. All in all, it is embarassing to see that so many believed this hoax.
Rumors have gone viral that FC Barcelona's kit could feature the logo of Colombian singer Shakira in a shortly upcoming match of the 2022-2023 season.
Barcelona's kit just featured the logo of rapper Drake on the front in the match against Real Madrid. This is part of the club's creative deal with Spotify.
Rumors: Barcelona Kit to Feature Logo Of Shakira In Single Match of 22-23 Season?
According to Moisés Llorens, ESPN's correspondent in Barcelona, Barcelona may soon close a deal for Shakira's advertising to appear on the team's jersey, as it happened with singer Drake on the jersey for El Clásico against Real Madrid.
Everything are rumors as of now
We could not find Moisés Llorens's original quote. The citation and the information has been spread by the Spanish online newspaper El Español and since then gone viral.
If Barcelona's kit would feature Shakira's logo, it would be a bit controversial because of club legend Gerard Piqué. The defender would have to wear a shirt with the image of his ex-partner.
Piqué and Shakira ended their partnership this summer
Shakira is getting ready to release her new hit. 'Monotony', that's the title of the Colombian singer's next hit. As already happened with 'Te felicito', the lyrics seem to be inspired by her relationship with the footballer. "For completing you I broke into pieces. They warned me, but I didn't listen. I realized that yours is false. It was the straw that broke the camel's back... I congratulate you, how well you act", said the song with which the scandal broke out".
Our Conclusion
It is anything but sure that Barcelona's kit will feature the logo of Shakira on the front, especially with the situation with Piqué and Shakira. Meanwhile, we think it is almost certain that Barcelona's kit will feature logos of other artists in the 2022-2023 season.
