Shakira's 'Waka Waka' Video Surpasses 2 Billion Views On YouTube

Superstar Shakira has another reason to celebrate: her "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" music video has surpassed two billion views on YouTube.

The Colombian singer, who is currently crossing the U.S. on her El Dorado Tour, shared the news with her fans on Instagram on Sunday (Aug. 26). "Incredible," she wrote.
