Shakira Sued For $100 Million By Ex-Lover

The award-winning songbird has quite the headache now that her former lover and business partner is going after her fortune.

Even though it seems like a huge sum to be seeking from an ex, de la Rua claims he has good reason to be suing the star, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll. 

He alleges that once his romance with Shakira, 35, ended their business relationship soured also.

The “Hips Don’t Lie” star dated de la Rua, son of former Argentine President Fernando de la Rua, for 10 years and even though the two broke up in 2010, he maintains that they agreed to remain friends and business partners.

Naturally events didn’t go as de la Rua had imagined, so he filed a lawsuit against Shakira in New York, accusing the singer of breaking her promise to split her profits with him, according to WENN.

He could also be upset now that the pop star is expecting her first child with soccer player Gerard Pique.

The singer’s ex claims that even though he and Shakira were no longer together, he was still supposed to run the business behind her brand, including her $300 million deal with concert promoter Live Nation.

De la Rua admits their business relationship lasted only a year, but since being fired in 2011 he wants $100 million for his troubles.
