Shakira shares her admiration for Cardi B's music
Shakira says Cardi B is "a woman who doesn’t ask permission.”
Shakira is a huge fan of Cardi B.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, the star praised Cardi for their collaboration on ‘Puntería.’
The song was released in March 2024.
“I love what she did on ‘Puntería.’ It’s my favorite part of the song,” Shakira said about Cardi's verse.
Her admiration for Shakira is not only based on music, she told the publication that she also loved her personality.
“I love her sense of humor, her ingenuity, and her creativity. For me, she’s a woman who doesn’t ask permission," she added.
During the interview, she also spoke about her love life.
Shakira revealed that she is currently single.
“I’m not thinking about that.… What space do I have for a man right now?” she told Rolling Stone.
“What can I tell you, I like men. That’s the problem. I shouldn’t like them with everything that’s happened to me, but imagine how much I like men that I still like them," she added.
The 'Waka Waka' hitmaker says when it comes to dating, she also has to think about her children, Sasha, 9, and Milan, 11, whom she shares with ex Gerard Piqué, 37.
"But having a formal relationship, I think my kids would have to be very prepared for that, and their emotional and psychological well-being is the priority.”

The singer also added how being a mother is her priority.
"When we're mothers, we never dial it down," Shakira told the publication. "We can keep working, but our commitment as mothers is non-negotiable.
"Sometimes achieving balance is difficult, right? How much time do you dedicate to yourself, to your work, to the children? But children always come first and what consumes us the most."
The 47-year-old said she always keeps it real with her children. She allows them to see her in vulnerable states so that they know that life isn't what is portrayed in movies.
"I never had to rely on myself as much as I have fighting for my survival and the survival of my kids,. I think they've seen their mother cry. I think they've seen her celebrate. I think they've seen her laugh. I think they've seen her work tirelessly.
"And that's it: I want to show them that life isn't linear. It's not how people picture it in the movies. Things don't turn out the way we want them to and you have to deal with disappointment. That's part of the human condition. It's why we're here," she said.
