‘Shakira is a Grammy winner as well’
Game 3 of the NBA Finals took place at Kaseya Center, and fans were quick to notice the tweet from the NBA that sparked controversy involving Shakira, the renowned 46-year-old singer. The NBA's tweet listed the various stars who attended the game, along with their respective accolades, but the 'Hips Don't Lie' singer's name appeared without any specific recognition. This discrepancy immediately caught the attention of fans across social media platforms, causing the tweet to go viral, and receive some backlash.
Fans swiftly noticed the contrast in the way names were presented in the tweet, leading them to question the absence of accolades for Shakira, while other celebrities received theirs.
