Shakira's ex Gerard Piqué breaks silence on cheating accusations: 'I keep doing what I want'

Gerard Piqué can't remember to forget ex-partner Shakira, especially after her blistering diss track "BZRP Music Session #53" went viral two months ago.

For the first time since the couple's split in June, the former FC Barcelona star opened up on how he's doing, disputing the narrative that everything always works out for him. 

"It is not like that. The problem is how people perceive it or how the press sells it. I keep doing what I want. The day I die, I will look back and hope I have always done what I wanted. I want to be true to myself. I'm not going to spend money cleaning up my image," he told El País in an interview translated to English from Spanish via Google Translate.

"The people I care about and the ones I love are the ones who know me. The rest I don't care.
