Shakira in the video clip for “El Jefe”/Via YouTube
As expected, Shakira’s new song is infectious. The boss is the song he made and has with the Mexican group Fuerza Regida a letter that has left no one indifferent. The artist speaks about inequality, particularly criticizing the exploitation that many workers experience at the hands of their bosses. And many of his fans realize that he used his own life as a reference to talk about the situation of her children’s nanny, Lili Melgarwhen she was fired by Gerard Piqué.
“Lili Melgar, this song is for you, they didn’t pay you compensation” she sings. Lili has become the unexpected protagonist of Shakira’s new video clip and also appears on the screen and looks into the camera with a serious gesture. The Colombian artist wanted to pay her special homage to her children’s nanny and did so, referring to a topic that caused a lot of controversy at the time.
It seems that Lili was the one who discovered Piqué’s infidelity and shared her suspicions with Shakira. When he found out, the former FC Barcelona player would have made a decision dismiss her abruptlywithout any financial compensation.
Lili Melgar, the nanny of Shakira’s children
“Shakira’s revenge continues”, “What a beautiful tribute”, Wow, the reality of millions of immigrants in one song”, “You are a genius”, “A social cry, a criticism of the system.” Once again Shakira invents herself new”, “The new anthem of all the offices in the world”… are some of the comments from her fans.
The one who also spoke out on the matter was Dariana, daughter of Lili Melgar, who posted some messages after the release of Shakira’s video clip. “Despite everything, she continues to work with Shakira. “I LOVE YOU, MOM,” she wrote on her social networks, confirming that the Barranquilla singer re-engaged her to take care of her children after their separation.
He also allegedly paid her $1 million in compensation.

Another of the most commented on sentences from El Jefe is this: “They say that there is no evil that lasts longer than a hundred years. But.” There is still my ex-father-in-law who has not yet entered the grave.“. Is she sending a message to Joan Piqué? Furthermore, it is strange that in the video clip, just as she says this sentence, two of the boys appear next to her They cover his mouthperhaps with a wink at the trouble he would cause if he said it.
Shakira introduces her new song El Jefe
Now it was Joan Piqué, but we must not forget that Shakira has already dedicated a message to her ex-mother-in-law in her song “Bizarrap”. “You left me as your mother-in-law’s neighbor, with the press at the door and debts in the Treasury. You thought you would hurt me and make me even harder. “Women don’t cry anymore, women settle scores,” sang the Colombian in one of the biggest hits of her entire career.

Here are the complete lyrics of “El Jefe”:
At half past seven the alarm sounded
I want to be in bed
But it is not possible
I’ll take the kids at nine
The same coffee, the same cuisine
Same old thing, same routine
another shitty day
Another day at the office
I have a shitty boss who doesn’t pay me well.
I arrive on foot and he arrives in a Mercedes Benz.
He has me as a recruit
The son of a bitch, yes
Do you dream of leaving the neighborhood?
You have everything you need to become a millionaire
Expensive tastes, the mentality
You just need the salary
The bills are piling up, being poor is nonsense
Mom always told me that it is important to learn everything
I studied and nothing happened, damn life was so hard
I work harder than a bastard, but damn less than a priest
What irony, what madness, this is torture
You kill yourself from morning to night and don’t even have a writing
They say that there is no evil that lasts more than a hundred years
But there is still my ex-father-in-law who has not entered the grave yet.
I have a shitty boss who doesn’t pay me well.
I arrive on foot and he arrives in a Mercedes Benz.
They got me as a recruit (They got you as a recruit)
A Guy’s Real Son (A Guy’s Real Son)
Do you dream of leaving the neighborhood?
You have everything you need to become a millionaire
Expensive tastes, the mentality
You just need the salary
You have a shitty boss who doesn’t pay you well.
They come on foot and he comes in a Mercedes Benz
He has you as a recruit
The son of a bitch
“I dream of leaving the neighborhood.”
I have everything to become a millionaire
Expensive tastes, the mentality
I just need the salary
Lili Melgar
They didn’t pay you any compensation for this song
Another fart, like always, immediately
Do you dream of leaving the neighborhood?
You have everything you need to become a millionaire
Expensive tastes, the mentality
I just need the salary
