Shakira's mum Nidia Ripoll has reportedly been rushed to hospital "as a matter of urgency" after a blood clot in her leg was discovered.
Nidia was said to have initially suffered a stroke, but Spanish media says sources close to the singer have spoken to American Spanish-language TV broadcaster Telemundo and confirmed the issue was related to deep vein thrombosis.
The Mirror reports that the condition has not affected her brain while the Colombian singer has not officially released a statement on the incident yet.
