Shakira, I refuse!

It’s not even on the map!” Laughter from some guests followed, but Eala’s expression instantly changed. She calmly stepped away from the microphone, walked off stage, and left the venue without further comment.
The moment was captured on guest phones and leaked within minutes. Social media erupted: Filipino fans flooded Shakira’s accounts with #BoycottShakira (over 1.5 million posts in hours), while international supporters joined in solidarity.
