Despite speculation that the singer had pulled out of her performance citing personal issues, Qatar World Cup organizers never contacted Shakira.
An insider confirmed to Metro.uk that the Waka Waka hitmaker was “never in talks” to perform at the world’s biggest football tournament.
The Colombian singer has been criticized by her fans for her decision to pull out of the event since rumors swirled that she would be one of the performers on the upcoming show.
Setting the record straight, the insider shared that the organizers of the event must have created confusion by drawing up a list of artists they would like to perform.
Shakira has previously set the stage on fire at the opening ceremony of the iconic event three times in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
