Here’s Why the Winner of Shakira’s Lamborghini Wants to Sell the Custom Car

Shakira's Lamborghini winner Michael Mejía is selling the custom car. Here's why.

The Colombian-American artist, based in New York City, won the vehicle in December after entering a competition organized by Shakira coinciding with the release of her song “Soltera.” Participants had to create a social media video, and Mejía’s winning TikTok entry featured his illustrations of Shakira mixed with scenes from his life, which was revealed on Univision’s Despierta América. While snagging the 2022 purple Lamborghini Urus — valued at $280,000 — was a dream come true, the reality of maintaining such a luxury vehicle soon hit home. The winner claims he has received offers to sell the car in parts, such as the rearview mirror, the tires and the steering wheel.
