“I constantly imagined Cardi on this tune. I connected, and here we are.”
Cardi Band Shakira have actually collaborated for their very first video together, “Punteria,” where the 2 Latin females rap and sing among ripped centaurs and goddesses in a pastel, intergalactic setting.
The “Beowulf” vocalist lugs a weapon as Cardi sits quite atop a half-horse, half-man while using a white, roped ensemble and wearing platinum-blonde hairs.
She raps, “I got that night-night, put a guy right to sleep/ Yeah, I’m a quite lil’ thing from face to feet/ I’m from the Bronx, however I got a Georgia peach/ I got a empanada, mom, that he enjoy to consume.”
Ahead of the single’s release– which survives on Shakira’s 12th studio albumLas Mujeres Ya No Lloran — the 2 stars spoke with one another where they discussed collaborating.
“When I initially satisfied Shakira, it remained in Paris at the Fendi program, and I was really, really anxious,” Cardi confessed. “I fidgeted since I wished to get next to her, however I resembled, ‘I’m not gon na get next to her up until they call me.’ I manifested it, however I didn’t understand when it was coming.”
The “Like What” rap artist Remembered the minute she got a call to work with one of her motivations, which she considered a “dream.”
“I understood this day would come. It came. God is great, Jesus,” the Bronx star beamed. “I do not care if she desires me to meow– I’m doing it. Seriously, that is my dream. I constantly take a look at your videos and it’s so insane doing a video with you since all of your videos– you might simply inform you take your time from the angle, to the dancing, to the important things that pop.”
In reaction to Cardi’s beliefs, Shakira included, “I wished to do something with Cardi. We were constantly talking about internally if it was a great concept to put somebody on this tune. I constantly imagined Cardi on this tune. I connected, and here we are. It’s been so enjoyable to deal with you. It’s so simple, truthfully. She’s like, ‘I’ll do whatever.’ I’m like, ‘Are you prepared to work long hours? Due to the fact that I work long hours.’ She’s like, ‘I’ll exist from 6 to 6 a.m.'”
