“Today I was actually thinking about one of my favorite scams of all time because J.Lo isperforming at the Super Bowl Halftime Show,” she said at the time. “Her whole career is one long scam.”
After Mosley questioned Lopez’s singing abilities, Edebiri continued, “Well, that’s the thing. She thinks she’s on multiple tracks, but it’s not her. I think she thinks that she’s still good even though, like, she’s not singing for most of these songs.”
“A lot of the write-ups of the songs will be like, ‘J.Lo didn’t have time to make it to the studio,’ like, J.Lo was busy,” she added. “It’s like, ‘Doing what?’ Not singing, obviously.”
