Ayo Edebiri refutes rumors of feud with Jennifer Lopez, labels them ‘absurd’

Ayo Edebiri has set the record straight on the alleged feud with Jennifer Lopez, following a viral clip from a 2020 podcast where she agreed with the host that JLo’s career was a “scam”. The actress addressed the controversy during her guest hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, where JLo was the musical guest of the week.

In her SNL appearance, Ayo acknowledged the impact of her words, stating, “It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast and you don’t consider the impact because you’re 24 and stupid.” She later compared the situation to a hypothetical beef between Mr. Bean and Mick Jagger, humorously casting herself as Mr. Bean.

Following the SNL episode, Jennifer Lopez revealed that Ayo had apologized to her, with Edebiri confirming the reconciliation in an interview with Vanity Fair. Lopez described the interaction as “chill and nice”, indicating that the issue had been resolved amicably.

The controversy stemmed from Ayo’s appearance on the Scam Goddess podcast, where she discussed Lopez’s career trajectory. Edebiri expressed skepticism about JLo’s involvement in her music, suggesting that she may not be as hands-on as perceived in the industry.

As the dust settles on this brief but intense feud, it seems that Ayo Edebiri and Jennifer Lopez have put the misunderstanding behind them, showcasing maturity and grace in handling the situation.
