How can you sleep at night, Piqué? The new video “El Jefe” de Shakira with Fuerza Regida, uncovers one more of the victims of Gerard Piqué’s infidelity, as it introduces us to Lili Melgar, who worked for the family as a nanny but was unfairly fired by the soccer player.
In recent months, Shakira has been on everyone’s lips due to her separation from the former Barcelona player, with whom she spent nearly 12 years and has 2 children; however, this fact, far from plunging her into depression, made her take off, as the singer and businesswoman decided to take her pain and start billing.

Lili Melgar Is the Story of the Mistreatment Suffered by Latino Workers
“I have a shitty boss who doesn’t pay me well, I arrive walking, and he arrives in the Mercedes Benz” is part of the new song by Shakira and Fuerza Regida, “El Jefe,” same in which Shakira mentions “Lili Melgar, for you this song, that they didn’t pay your severance.”
Lili Melgar was the nanny of Shakira’s children; she worked with the family for many years and was the one who alerted the singer about possible infidelity, so both decided to put the trap of the jars of jam for Clara Chia.
Days after the idea of the jam jars, the nanny found women’s clothes hidden around the house, confirming Pique’s infidelity, so she did not hesitate to tell Shakira. Angered by this action, the soccer player fired the worker without compensation for the years of work, and not only that, he even dared to threaten her with a lawsuit.
However, when Shakira found out what her ex-partner had done, she sought out Lili Melgar, compensated her, and months later offered her to appear in the music video for the song “El Jefe.” In addition, for agreeing to mention her name in the song, she offered to pay her 1 million dollars plus a percentage of the royalties.
Currently, Lili and Shakira are still very good friends and spend time together, since Melgar was rehired and now lives in Miami with the Colombian. Her story was immortalized in Shakira and Fuerza Regida’s song to raise a voice for the millions of Latino workers who work for abusive bosses who exploit and underpay them.
