Beyoncé is the queen of Pop - Shakira declares

Colombian singer Shakira has hailed her American counterpart, Beyoncé.

In a recent episode of her show, Shakira Radio Station on Apple Music, Shakira lauded Beyoncé as “the queen” of pop.

The ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ crooner noted that Beyoncé has done a lot for women of colour in the US and around the world, and for women in general.

“She [Beyoncé’] is the queen. I mean, this is just so incredible, what she does for minorities in the US and around the world, what she’s done for women of color, what she’s done for women in general. The purpose that her life and her music has, it’s undeniable and it’s of a great magnitude,” she said.

Shakira and Beyoncé collaborated on the hit song ‘Beautiful Liar’ back in 2006.
