Rua was fired by Shakira's lawyer in October of 2011 but according to the suit, the Columbian singer stopped paying Rua any of the profits or property rightfully his even before that time.

The lawsuit claimed that their business contact extended through October 2011, but the singer stopped paying Rua after they broke up in 2010.
