Shakira’s Security Blocks Impersonator at Bogotá Concert

Shakira’s recent concert in Bogotá sparked an online discussion. This occurred when a security guard intervened to prevent a well-known impersonator from interacting with the singer. This happened while she was mingling with the crowd during an intimate segment of her performance.

The singer was closely engaging with her fans, even accepting a hat from one of the spectators. As she approached the area, “Shakibecca,” a well-known Shakira lookalike, was standing there. Although the impersonator was not behaving inappropriately, a security guard intervened. They stepped in front of her and physically blocked her view. Thus, they prevented any potential contact with the artist.

The moment was captured on video and quickly went viral. It sparked a divided response on social media. Some users defended the security team’s actions. They stated that their primary duty is to maintain a clear and secure perimeter around the artist during such vulnerable moments.

Others argued that a paying fan has the right to enjoy the show. Therefore, they felt the intervention was unnecessary. Many commentators also noted that the impersonator’s frequent appearances at multiple concerts could be perceived as obsessive. This potentially creates discomfort for the performer and her team.
