    The Colombian singer ended her romance with Antonio de la Rua in 2010 after more than 10 years as a couple, but in a public statement, they vowed to remain friends and continue as business partners.
However, the friendship now appears to have turned sour as de la Rua has filed a lawsuit in New York accusing his ex-girlfriend of breaking a promise to continue paying him a share of her business profits.

In his Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Antonio de la Rúa says he transformed the struggling Shakira Mebarak Ripoll into a financial powerhouse.
She asked de la Rúa to take over “the business behind the Shakira brand” after her 2004 tour lost money.

 Under his management, she earned “tens of millions of dollars” touring, and scored a $300 million deal with Live Nation, the suit says.

The pair broke up in 2010, but their business partnership continued until October 2011, when she had her lawyer fire him, the suit says.
