This weekend, Ayo Edebiri, known for her role in “The Bear,” will be hosting “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) alongside Jennifer Lopez as the musical guest. However, this pairing brings back a controversial claim made by Edebiri in 2020, where she accused Lopez of being a scam and not knowing how to sing.
During her appearance on the “Scam Goddess” podcast, Edebiri, who is now 28 years old, boldly proclaimed that Lopez’s career was “one long scam.” She even insinuated that the Grammy-nominated artist often relies on ghost singers for her music. Edebiri suggested that Lopez believes she is singing on multiple tracks when, in reality, she is not. These accusations caught the attention of many, raising doubts about Lopez’s vocal abilities.
Edebiri admitted to becoming fascinated with Lopez’s career and extensively researched theories suggesting that she did not sing all of her songs. According to Edebiri, various write-ups imply that Lopez was too busy to make it to the studio, fueling speculation about her vocal contributions. Edebiri’s revelations shed light on a controversial aspect of Lopez’s music career.
Despite the heated accusations, neither Edebiri nor Lopez has publicly addressed the diss. In fact, recent promotional clips for the upcoming SNL episode suggest that the pair is on friendly terms. They even exchanged compliments, expressing excitement about working together. It seems that any previous tension between them has been put aside for the sake of the show.
Sources close to the situation have claimed that Lopez is unfazed by Edebiri’s comments. According to TMZ, the actress is a fan of Lopez and is excited to have the opportunity to work with her. It is further stated that Lopez does not typically dwell on criticism, indicating that she is not bothered by Edebiri’s allegations.
This episode of SNL marks a significant milestone for Ayo Edebiri as it will be her first time hosting the show. On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to SNL and has previously appeared multiple times. She made her debut as a musical guest in 2000, followed by hosting and being the musical guest in 2001 and 2010. Lopez returned to the show once again in 2019 for another memorable performance.
Ayo Edebiri’s controversial claim that Jennifer Lopez doesn’t know how to sing has resurfaced ahead of their joint appearance on SNL. While Edebiri’s accusations cannot be dismissed outright, it is important to remember that they are just allegations. Ultimately, it is up to the audience to judge Lopez’s talent for themselves. Only time will tell if this brewing controversy has any lasting impact on Lopez’s career.
