Shakira's Sizzling Performance: Grinds, Glitz, and Global Citizen Festival Frenzy

SHAKIRA STEAMS UP THE GLOBAL CITIZEN FESTIVAL!

The queen of Latin pop, Shakira, turned up the heat at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this Saturday, leaving onlookers gagging over her sizzling performance! The 48-year-old Colombian superstar proved she still has it all - the talent, the charm, and that signature fiery energy that's got everyone swooning!

But she wasn't the only one bringing the drama to the stage... Cardi B also made a dazzling appearance, flaunting her blossoming baby bump in a fitted mahogany top with maternity jeans. The rapper, who's expecting her fourth child (yes, you read that right!), proudly displayed her growing belly as she strutted around the stage with her luxurious red wig.

Now, we all know Cardi B is no stranger to controversy, and this latest pregnancy reveal has only added fuel to the fire. Just last week, Stefon Diggs, her NFL boyfriend, was slapped with a paternity suit by an Instagram model named Aileen Lopera, who claims he fathered her baby boy, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera.

But Cardi's not one to let a little drama get in the way of her career. She took to social media to announce that she'll be continuing to work through her pregnancy and even has plans to go on tour this February - when her baby is due! When asked about her plans post-baby, Cardi exclaimed: "After this album run, it's straight to exercising. It's straight to dance classes – when the baby come out, my body will be loose – and straight rehearsals with all my dancers."

But what really has everyone talking is Cardi's latest surgery reveal. In a recent interview with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy, she confessed that she had her surgically enhanced buttocks reduced - but isn't keen to do it again! When asked about the procedure, Cardi quipped: "I already did a reduction already and people will be like, 'Well, you need to reduce your butt more.' And it's like, I think you guys think that people just plug something inside my a**hole and just suck it out."

It all started when Cardi revealed in December 2022 that she had gotten 95% of the biopolymers (buttock injections) removed from her backside. In an Instagram Live post, she warned fans: "All I'm going to say is that if you're young, if you're 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you're too skinny, and you be like: 'OMG I don't have enough fat to put in my a' so you result to a shots, DON'T!"

But let's not forget the drama surrounding Cardi's pre-fame days as a New York City stripper. She once got her derriere illegally injected with silicone in a basement - all for $800! The procedure left her in agony, and the implants leaked for five whole days!

Meanwhile, Shakira was giving us LIFE on stage, dancing up a storm in her sheer bodysuit that showcased her enviably sculpted figure. She proved she still has what it takes to put on an unforgettable show - complete with signature fiery curls cascading down her back and a luminous complexion accentuated by stage makeup.

But before we dive into the juicy details of Shakira's performance, let's talk about Cardi B's recent paternity drama. Stefon Diggs, her NFL boyfriend, was slapped with a paternity suit last December - but he recently responded to the allegations, claiming he's unsure whether he fathered Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera.

And if that wasn't enough, an old video has resurfaced showing Stefon's teammates saying they wouldn't want him dating their sisters. One teammate even described him as "outrageous" and another said he's "not a guy you'd want to bring home to your parents." Talk about some serious haters!

But let's give it up for Cardi B - the queen of controversy! She was recently cleared in her $24 million civil assault trial, where she was accused of physically attacking a female security guard who allegedly followed her and filmed her at a doctor's office in 2018. The plaintiff claimed Cardi struck her, spat on her, and even slashed her with her fingernail.

And if you thought that was the end of it all, think again! Cardi took to social media to announce that she'll be releasing a limited 'courtroom edition' of her album Am I the Drama? featuring photos from the trial. Talk about cashing in on drama!

We're left wondering - what's next for these two divas? Will Shakira's performance at the Global Citizen Festival live on forever in our memories, or will Cardi B's latest pregnancy reveal steal the spotlight once again?

Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - we can't get enough of this drama-filled duo!
