The song 'El Jefe' has propelled Shakira into the spotlight and onto the lips of fans worldwide. This is not only due to the song's message regarding workplace superiors but also because it carries an inherent message about Gerard Pique firing their nanny and allegedly failing to provide her with social benefits.
Just when the controversy surrounding the song appeared to revolve around its mention of the ex-Barcelona player's father, something more significant emerged from Medellin, Colombia.
A video appeared on the TikTok profile 'Los Panas' a few days ago, featuring three men singing a part of the song. It wasn't precisely the part sung by Shakira, but rather one of the members of the group 'Fuerza Regia'.
"I have a difficult boss who doesn't pay me well," they sing on the video, as they point to their boss.
"I arrive on foot, and he arrives in a Mercedes Benz. He treats me poorly, the son of a ..."
However, what appeared to be just a choreography took a more serious turn when the video was captioned: "We are dedicating this dance to our boss to demand a raise in our salary."
Consequently, it's quite evident that the strong message conveyed in the video, along with the dance, was directed at their employer, which seemingly led to the alleged dismissal of these men, who were dressed as construction workers.
This video gained widespread attention on TikTok and other platforms, eventually reaching the supposed boss. Subsequently, on the same TikTok account, another video showed these men discussing the situation.
"The viral video cost us our jobs," they noted.
In light of the massive public attention and motivated by the message in Shakira's song, one of the men stated that the clip reached their employers.
"This video you see here went viral, and we didn't anticipate its significant impact, reaching our bosses. It has truly affected us," the man added.
The other two men expressed similar sentiments, highlighting both the positive and negative consequences it had on their employment status.
Why do people doubt the story of the sacked workers?
In conclusion, while many stories go viral on social media, these men began creating content rapidly, initially dancing to different parts of the song in various settings and attire.
They even began sharing videos of others replicating their choreography. However, doubts arose when they started promoting the sale of empanadas, suggesting they no longer needed 'El Jefe'.
Eventually, they hinted at being rehired by their former employers, leaving social media users questioning the authenticity of their claims and whether there was a hidden agenda behind 'Los Panas'.
