Republican presidential candidate Trump has been roundly criticised for appearing to accuse Mexican immigrants of increasing drug crimes and rapes within US borders.
Now, Shakira, 38, has joined the likes of Neil Young, Cher and Bill Maher in condemning Trump's offensive comments on her Twitter account.
"This is a hateful and racist speech that attempts to divide a country that for years has promoted diversity and democracy! No one living in this century should stand behind so much ignorance," Shakira tweeted.
Earlier, he filed a USD 500 million lawsuit against Spanish-language broadcaster Univision for dropping coverage of his Miss USA pageant because of the controversy.
The "Apprentice" host has threatened legal action against NBC for severing their business relationship as well.
