Reggaeton musician J Balvin is the latest star to find himself being "canceled" after fans believe that he seemingly suggested Shakira is difficult to work with.
On Wednesday, a recent virtual chat with the Black Eyed Peas was shared online in which the 35-year-old Balvin -- whose full name is José Álvaro Osorio Balvin -- spoke about his experience working with the band on their latest album, which also included a collaboration with Shakira.
The Colombian songstress became a subject of the conversation, where, per Newsweek, Balvin concurred when Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am said he "had to be the most flexible with Shakira."

Balvin appeared during the most recent Super Bowl halftime show, which Shakira, 43, headlined along with Jennifer Lopez.
Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am noted that he "learned from" Shakira, saying "the way she does it is like a school."

"Number one, fix number one like this, here are my notes and then for number two I would really like to address this on number two and then for number three," began Will.i.am, 45.
Balvin cut in, saying: "And then you go back to one, and then go to seven, then go to 10, then go to 20, and then go back to number one. One is the one."

"Nobody talks s--t bout Shakira, the queen of latin music," wrote another. "She has done so much for latin music to be mainstream and the disrespect is disgusting."
