Following the release of her critically acclaimed music video, Can’t Remember to Forget You, featuring Rihanna, Shakira is being slammed by Colombian politician Marco Fidel Ramirez. According to the New York Daily News, Marco is outraged over the video, as he claims it “promotes lesbianism.” As a result, he’s calling on Colombia’s National Television Authority to ban the video from being broadcast on any and all channels in the country.
Marco argues that the Colombian recording artist’s video “damages the moral character of the youth of Bogota, Colombia and Latin America.”
Rihanna wasn’t exempt from the verbal lashing either. Marco says that both women should be ashamed of themselves for releasing the song, which he says also promotes the consumption of tobacco, stealing and killing. He tweeted:
“Our Shakira with her erotic video is promoting tobacco usage and has become the worst example for our youth.
“Shakira’s new video is a shameless case for lesbianism and immorality. It is a danger to children,” he continued before adding the hashtag #PeligroVideoShakira, which means “Dangers of Shakira’s Video.”
“It sends a provocative message to weak people who can be polluted and induced to practice (lesbianism).”
To date, the popular video has already exceeded 62 million YouTube views. Reps on behalf of Shakira and Rihanna have yet to comment on Marco’s accusations.
