Shakira shared a screenshot of the lyrics of Bad Bunny’s new song “Thunder y Lightning,” which makes reference to Shakira and Bizarrap’s global hit. She wrote “Let’s cash in and get paid together, then!” Bad Bunny’s translated lyrics read “Now men cry, yes, but they don’t stop cashing in and getting paid.” Shakira’s original translated lyrics read “Women don’t cry anymore, they cash in and get paid.”

While some interpreted Shakira’s words as a jab, many thing that she was simply inviting Bad Bunny to make a song together. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they already have a collaboration for her album. This could just be her way of teasing it,” wrote a follower on Twitter.
