Honey, one stuff Jennifer Lopez has always gotten the heat for is stealing from other artists, especially black artists, and allegedly Mariah Carey is like gurl!
Somebody has got to put her in a place once and for all! Yoh! When we said that 2024 is the year that people are being hit with the truth, chile, even celebrities took that truly seriously! And Mariah is here to remind J-Lo that she can’t sing!
You see when it comes to Mariah, she’s one of the people who at some point in her career had to suffer because of J Lo. And it’s not like J-Lo was the one making her go via hell directly.
It’s the fact that J Lo saw what was happening, permitted it to happen and even participated in what was making Mariah miserable. Here’s the stuff.
J-Lo already had a little bit of limelight from being on In Living Colour but there was one problem with her, she couldn’t break into singing Koz you know she couldn’t sing that well and she couldn’t get on Broadway Koz she couldn’t sing or act well enough.
Jennifer Lopez has long faced claims of appropriating and profiting off the work of other artists, particularly black artists. Mariah Carey, in particular, has been vocal about her disdain for Lopez, suggesting that she lacks true singing talent.
The animosity between Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez stems from an incident involving a song called “Loverboy.” while, Mariah Carey was married to Tommy Mottola, who was also the head of her record label, Sony. Mariah wanted to break free from both her marriage and her contract with Sony, but Mottola was resistant.
To exacerbate Mariah’s situation, Mottola allegedly gave Jennifer Lopez a song that Mariah had recorded, “Loverboy,” and had Lopez release it instead. This move infuriated Mariah, who feel like betrayed by both Mottola and Lopez.
Mariah Carey’s comments about Jennifer Lopez have been shaded with sarcasm and thinly veiled insults. She once implied that Lopez lacked singing talent by stating, “I don’t know her,” when questioned about Lopez in interviews. Mariah also insinuated that Lopez relied on others to sing her songs, contrasting her own rigorous dedication to singing and songwriting.
Moreover, Jennifer Lopez has faced accusations of appropriating songs from black artists like Ashanti and Amerie. Songs like “I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny” were allegedly intended for other artists before Lopez ended up recording them.
Ashanti, in particular, showcased disappointment and frustration over not being credited for her work, highlighting the industry’s tendency to overlook black artists’ contributions.
In addition, Amerie’s song “One Thing” faced potential shelving by her record label, Colombia, in favor of giving it to Jennifer Lopez. Amerie took matters into her own hands and leaked the song to radio stations to prevent Lopez from recording it instead. This incident underscored the cutthroat nature of the music industry and Lopez’s willingness to benefit from others’ misfortunes.
