Mao A Min returns to music after renouncing inheritance; Shakira hits 1 billion views

Chinese singer Mao A Min has recently returned to the stage following a period of absence, appearing on The Singer 2026. Her return draws attention to her decision five years ago to renounce a massive inheritance. Following the sudden death of her husband, billionaire Jie Zhicun, from a heart attack during a Pilates session in December 2021, Mao A Min chose to waive her legal rights to his estimated 26 billion NDT fortune. She utilized legal procedures to clarify that she had no connection to his corporate assets, allowing management of the Zhongzhichu Group to pass to his nephew.

In international music news, Shakira’s music video for ‘Dai Dai’, a collaboration with Burna Boy, has reached 1 billion views in just over 105 days. This achievement is noted as particularly rare in the current era of audio streaming dominance. This marks Shakira’s tenth career music video to reach the 1 billion view milestone and her second in the 2020s.
