Singer Shakira was attacked by wild boars

Barcelona ― While walking with her son in a park in Barcelona recently, singer Shakira was attacked by wild boars.

BBC reported the singer shared a video on her Instagram story saying, “Look at how two wild boars which attacked me in the park, have left my bag.”

She added, “They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile phone in it. They’ve destroyed everything.”

The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker then turned to her son and said, “Milan, tell the truth. Say how your mommy stood up the wild boar.”

Being attacked by wild boars is not quite as random as it might seem, reported Buzzfeed. Wild boars are a growing problem across Europe, with the police getting 1,187 phone calls about wild boars in Barcelona in 2016.

Barcelona’s City Hall website wrote, “Part of the population of wild boars in Collserola have lost their fear of people. Some of these animals are getting increasingly bold and can even become aggressive.”

In particular, boars are drawn to metropolitan environments because of “increased urban sprawl and the accumulation of enticing waste around city limits.”

Thankfully Shakira got her bag back!

Born Feb 2, 1977, Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoli, known mononymously as Shakira, is a Colombian singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Barranquilla, Shakira has been referred to as the “Queen of Latin Music” and is noted for her versatility in music. She made her recording debut under Sony Music Colombia at the age of 13.

Following the commercial failure of her first two albums, Magia (1991) and Peligro (1993), she rose to prominence in Hispanic countries with her next albums, Pies Descalzos (1995) and Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998).

Shakira entered the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service (2001), which sold over 13 million copies worldwide. Buoyed by the international number-one singles “Whenever, Wherever” and “Underneath Your Clothes”, the album propelled her reputation as a leading crossover artist. /TISG
