    Twitter Is Obsessed With A Rumor That Shakira Discovered Her Husband Cheated Because Of Strawberry Jam, And The Memes Are Very, Very, Very Good

    Apparently no one messes with Shakira and her strawberry jam.

    I have a wild story that has pretty much taken over Twitter.

    It involves Shakira, her ex, and some strawberry jam.

    Yep, strawberry jam!

    To begin, in case you didn't know, Shakira and soccer star Gerard Pique broke up last year after 11 years of marriage.

    There's been allegations of Pique cheating, and Shakira seemingly referenced it in a "diss" track called "BZRP Music Sessions #53" that came out last week.

    The lyrics are, uh, definitely pointed:

    The lyrics say "A she-wolf like me isn't for guys like you, I was out of your league, that's why you're with someone just like you"

    It looks like she even called Pique out for leaving her alone with his mom as her neighbor...oh Mylanta!

    You left me with your mom as a neighbor/The press at my door, and a debt with the Treasury/ You thought you'd hurt me, but you made me stronger/Women no longer cry, women get paid
    genius.com

    Also, the part about the treasury is about a tax evasion scandal we found out about last year.

    But the wildest allegation yet is about Shakira, some detective work, and her love of good ol' strawberry jam.

    Take this with a grain of salt, but it has totally taken over the Shakira/Pique discourse.

    According to Shownews.today, Shakira allegedly discovered Pique was cheating when she came home from a trip only to find someone had eaten some of her beloved strawberry jam.

    The problem with the missing jam is that Pique (and their children) apparently hate jam — therefore, someone else must have eaten it!

    While this story isn't confirmed, Twitter has run away with it, and Shakira's strawberry jam has become a meme.

    In conclusion, strawberry jam is apparently important business for Shakira. DON'T TOUCH IT.
