Very on par for ATRL Is Nicki a Arab woman? Shakira is an Arab woman performing in a Arab country for people of her fathers heritage and yet folks like you want to compare her upcoming performance to an American woman with no Arab roots performing for an elite class of Arabs? It doesn’t make sense because they are not comparable.

If I didn't think she was trash before, I sure do now! Hope that clears it up for you. Again, this topic isn’t about Beyoncé and no Shakira fan is thinking about Beyoncé for you to be weirdly attacking her for embracing her own heritage. Use your brain and think that one through. Your attack on Shakira is completely unprovoked and frankly deranged. Shakira already performed in Egypt with the actual pyramids as her background over a decade ago. This is literally her heritage. 1 3

People would laugh Being Arab doesn't mean that they are only from Saudi Arabia Lebanese (half of shak's heritage) people are Arabs as well as so are many millions of others that live in the Middle East and North Africa. Do polish people speak German? If not then your post doesn't make sense at all. OT: Shakira is huge in the Middle East so this makes sense. Edited September 17, 2023 by Wolf Alice 1 1

People would laugh Her father is from Lebanon and that’s a neighboring country to Saudi Arabia. The citizens of both are considered to be Arabic. Someone born in Georgia and the other born in Louisiana are still considered Americans, the same logic applies here. Also, if folks like Halsey and Mariah Carey are considered black than darn right Shakira is Arabic. 1

"Embracing her own heritage" by performing in a completely different country to the one that her father is from? These lame ass strawman excuses because now you all suddenly don't care about gay rights in other countries. Meanwhile, you were all screaming bloody murder when artists like Beyoncé performed at a hotel in Dubai. She is performing in a homophobic country and I'm calling that out, as well as people celebrating. That's not unprovoked, you just don't like that I'm not kissing her feet for her trash behaviour. 1 1 1 1

Saudi Arabia and Lebanon both share the same language, music, food, and many customs. Once again, Shakira is literally an Arabic name. People from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia are both Arab. Your lack of intelligence is showing. Shakira never released an album celebrating queer people and then proceeded to perform in Saudi Arabia for a check. She has released music incorporating Arab sounds, she has belly danced, and she has sung in Arabic multiple times. So performing in Arab countries is normal and expected. Again, since you are slow, Shakira is an Arab name, and Lebanese people are Arab.

Wtf does the origin of her name have to do with anything? The fact that you're calling out anybody's intelligence with this dumb ass argument is hilarious. 1

I’m stating the origin of her name to help penetrate that part of your brain that fails to understand that Shakira is part Arab and performing in Arab country. You already stated that you “hate” Shakira for performing in Arab country, despite her being of Arab descent. 1
