KatyPrismSpirit Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) “Puntería” is the name of the upcoming collaboration between Shakira and Cardi B, scheduled for release later this month. Will this collaboration be the one to revive Cardi’s career again? Cardi B hasn’t had a hit big song since 2021’s “Up”. Since then she had released a streak of underperforming singles: Rumours (with Lizzo) No Love Remix Hot Sh*t (with Kanye West & Lil Durk) Despecha Remix Put It On Da Floor Again (feat. Cardi B) Point Me 2 (with Fendi Da Rappa) Jealousy (with Offset) Bongos (feat. Megan Thee Stallion) Like What (Freestyle) None of these singles had any remarkable commercial success and performed poorly compared to her pre-2021 run. She however did manage to score a decent one week top 10 hit with a remix to Glorilla’s “Tomorrow” single. Will Puntería with Shakira break the streak of underperforming singles by Cardi B?

Afterglow Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) It'll be a cute moment due to Shakira and then everything will go back to how it's been. Cardi was popular in the mainstream awhile ago now, I feel like she's not taken seriously in hip-hop anymore (the Shakira song wont help that) and really just has few remaining gays and gp pop fans leftover checking for her, I think Bongos showed that.

GeeDuval Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think she’s just trying to secure her Latin base in case her April release doesn’t work just my take. I mean everybody is saying is a hot track, it will probably be a cute moment for Shakira since she’s giving us something different for her never done before, but I think cardi is just trying to get her name out there again.

I mean... Bongos had several factors going against it. First of all, it wasn't a great song, I was underwhelmed from my first listen, and now it's just okay at best. Especially when held against WAP. It was also a tropical, summer-sounding song released in September which was a very weird choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakira’s solo “Dia de enero”, released in 2005, is getting 494,000 daily streams, which is more streams than some certain new releases. “Whenever Wherever” is also getting 419,000 daily streams.

As a fan of both ladies I'm cheering for them and I look forward to the collab. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.R.L Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) No, she's done and if it happens strangely, it would be a joke because in the rap culture, you depend only in your lyrics and talent, not the visuals or pop singers, and even when it comes to mainstream rap music, you can't depend on a pop singer to make it work, so either way it's not good for her. It should be seen as a fresh collaboration, not as a career revival, but I'm sure that cardi is taking it as an attempt to a rebirth of her career. 💀 Edited March 24 by A.R.L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Ddd So to recap, Belcalis did it herself by securing a currently stable T10 Shakira might have flopped but she's a bonafide LEGEND regardless and she loves Cardi; Cardi obv stans her DOWN, and so they had a cute moment Both won; looks like there's only one loser here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfreshkidxx Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 With "Enough" flopping and the Shakira collab also tanking. I'm going to say no! Career still in the dumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
