We're amazed: Aleks Syntek says Shakira flirted with him at a concert.

Vision Palace.- Aleks Syntek recently claimed that Shakira flirted with him at one of her concerts in Mexico, and the news has made us reconsider whether we were too harsh on Martha Higareda.

The statements—of a “British” level according to himself—were made during an interview for Azteca para el mundo , where the interpreter of “Sexo, pudor y lágrimas” assured that the Colombian star was “very flirtatious” with him in front of his wife and daughter, during a presentation in Mexico City.

🎤 Flirting or courtesy? Aleks Syntek claims Shakira complimented him in front of his wife and daughter at a concert, and social media isn't forgiving: they've called him exaggerated and even compared him to Martha Higareda.

Aleks Syntek could sing "I'm hallucinating"

“I used to babysit Shakira in Argentina, on MTV shows. She was 17 or 18, and I used to take her to the club. If I went to see her at her concert, it was because all her musicians were mine. When I walked into her dressing room, she saw me and said, 'You're handsome! What did you do to yourself, Aleks? You look so young.' And I said, 'Thank you very much. She's my wife and she's my daughter.' And she replied, 'Your daughter looks like your sister,' ” Syntek recounted with absolute certainty and the voice of someone who has never made anything up.

But the story doesn't end there. The author of "What You Need" claimed that the flirting was so obvious that it made him uncomfortable:

“ I felt really uncomfortable because my wife was next to me and Shakira was very flirtatious ,” he explained, seemingly serious and without blinking.

The Higareda Cinematic Universe™-style anecdote generated a cascade of reactions on social media, including laughter, memes, and comments like:

• “Why would Shakira be flirtatious with Aleks Syntek?”

• “It sounds like a Martha Higareda story.”

• “Sit down now, sir.”

• “Calm down, Martha Syntek.”

Shakira has not yet commented, although it is rumored that she is considering releasing a song in which she denies mistaking Syntek for someone attractive.

And just to be up to date: now it was a mayor of Oaxaca who was caught cheating in the middle of a public event.
