"That is not true because this is me, I am alive, I am well and I have never been shot," she said.
She urged Kenyans to help her curb the misinformation by reporting any social media accounts and posts purporting to be hers.
Shakira urged Kenyans to be vigilant about the information they consume adding, "Don't allow yourself to be hoodwinked by clout chasers and people who are trying to derail us from what is currently happening in our country".
Shakira became a household name after a video of her confronting an officer during the Gen Z Finance Bill protests surfaced.
In videos circulated online, she was heard telling police officers, "I'm here for Kenyans, I'm here for my people, I'm here for your rights. Nitoe!! Nitoe baba! Sitoki!" she instructed the officer, who appeared frustrated.
She was standing along Cardinal Otunga Road after a heated moment between protesters and anti-riot police, who had lobbed tear gas canisters into the crowd.
A water cannon had also begun spraying the youth.
