Colombian pop star Shakira says that images circulating online showing her supporting presidential candidates in Colombia are not real. In statements reported by multiple outlets, she denies endorsing any candidate and says she has not authorized the use of her image for campaign purposes. Billboard, NME and Rolling Stone all quote Shakira stating that the “fake” images are circulating and that she does not support any candidate. She also emphasizes her commitment to Colombia and its democracy, and frames the issue around Colombians’ right to choose freely. The reports describe her clarification as a response to campaign-related materials using her likeness, rather than an endorsement of any specific contender. The combined coverage indicates that Shakira is requesting or reinforcing that her public image not be used to imply political support. No sources provided additional details about which candidates are featured in the images, who created them, or whether authorities or platforms are taking action, but the statements consistently assert the images are unauthorized and that she supports no candidate.
