Selena Quintanilla Perez, the acclaimed Grammy-winning singer known for hits like “Como La Flor” and “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” tragically passed away in 1995 at the young age of 23. Her untimely death at the hands of Yolanda Saldivar, her former fan club president, shook the music world and left a lasting impact on her fans.
Saldivar, now 63, is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of Selena and is up for parole next March. Despite maintaining her innocence and claiming the shooting was an accident, a recent rumor surfaced suggesting that Saldivar expressed interest in working for Shakira, a well-known Colombian music icon, if released on parole.
This rumor, which lacked any credible source or direct quotes from Saldivar, quickly spread across various online publications and social media platforms. Fans of Selena and Shakira alike were outraged by the unfounded claims and took to social media to express their disbelief and disappointment.
The legacy of Selena Quintanilla Perez continues to live on through her music, inspiring new generations of fans and artists alike. The false reports surrounding her killer’s alleged interest in working with Shakira only serve to highlight the enduring impact that the iconic singer has had on the music industry.
