"Shakira has been in the music industry for several decades. She released her first-ever music album back in 1995. Since then, the Colombian singer has never looked back. She has had the courage to try her hand at several music genres. Due to that, she has also managed to acquire a very diversified fan base. The Colombian singer has had several key people that have helped her along the way."

"One of those people is Jairo Martinez, her long-time friend, and ex-manager. In retrospect, Martinez is indirectly credited for launching the singer’s career."

"In the latest interview, Martinez shockingly opened up on the scam that cost him a fortune. Recently, he was seemingly the victim of a cryptocurrency racket and lost a humongous chunk of money"

“You think you know them all, but there’s always someone more cunning than you. You never finish getting to know people”.

"He continued, “I handed over $600 million and was scammed. Keeping my job has helped me to meet the debts I have that are many”. He also revealed that he was overconfident about investing in cryptocurrencies. Even after the major financial hit, Martinez continues working hard to pay off his debts."
