Jennifer Lopez<\/a> is keeping it real. The 54-year-old triple threat hit the <\/span>Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a> stage over the weekend to perform two new tracks, “Can’t Get Enough” and “This Is Me\u2026 Now.”<\/span><\/p>\n Her standout performances came after\u00a0<\/span>resurfaced podcast comments<\/a> from <\/span>SNL <\/span><\/em>guest host <\/span>Ayo Edebiri<\/a>\u00a0resurfaced, which\u00a0referred to Lopez’s music career as a “scam” and joked that the hitmaker could not carry a tune.<\/span><\/p>\n “Ayo was really nervous when her previous comments about J.Lo started resurfacing before hosting <\/span>SNL<\/span><\/em>,”\u00a0a source tells ET.\u00a0“She felt bad and awkward about it but did her best to make light of the situation and not harp on it too much.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As for how Lopez handled the criticism from <\/span>The Bear<\/span><\/em> star, the source tells ET, “Jennifer wasn’t bothered by the comments and didn’t care. She kept it professional.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Edebiri briefly referenced the comments during the sketch, “Why’d You Say It,” in which a game show host, played by Kenan Thompson, questions online trolls about their mean comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s wrong to leave mean comments or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast because you don’t consider the impact because you’re 24 and stupid,” <\/span>Edebiri quipped<\/a> as the audience cheered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As for Lopez, she has not publicly acknowledged the past diss from the Emmy winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And while Edebiri may not have been impressed by Lopez’s musical prowess, another A-lister is all about Jenny From the Block. Oscar winner <\/span>Brie Larson<\/a> went viral at this year’s Golden Globes after she fangirled over Lopez while being interviewed by ET’s Kevin Frazier.<\/span><\/p>\n “Oh, my god. Oh, my. I’m gonna cry,” she said, choking back tears as Frazier called Lopez up to meet the<\/span> Lessons In Chemistry <\/span><\/em>star. “I can’t deal with J.Lo.”<\/span><\/p>\n As Lopez was getting in position for her interview with ET, Larson worked up the courage to tell Lopez how much she has inspired her. Lopez gave Larson a hug and told her, “I’m such a huge fan.”<\/span><\/p>\n “You mean so much to me,” Larson responded. “I saw\u00a0<\/span>Selena<\/span><\/i>\u00a0and it made me wanna be an actor. And you’ve always meant so much to me. It’s been a dream of mine. Thank you so much. Your work ethic is so important, thank you.”<\/span><\/p>\n The chance encounter also left an impression on Lopez, who\u00a0<\/span>got emotional reflecting on their meeting at the Golden Globes while speaking<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Apple Music’s Zane Lowe back in January.<\/span><\/p>\n “It brings tears to my eyes now because it’s very moving,” Lopez said. “You give your heart and soul to this, and when you’re an artist, I think you know that and understand that.”<\/span><\/p>\n Lopez reflected on their meeting, and how Larson’s reaction reminded her of the women in Hollywood she has been inspired by.<\/span><\/p>\n “I remember being a little girl and watching\u00a0<\/span>West Side Story<\/span><\/i>\u00a0and seeing Rita Moreno and knowing what that meant for me,” she added. “When I was looking at Brie and I saw her, and I was just staring in her eyes, because she was so locked in with me and just like, ‘I have wanted to tell you this for so long,’ I saw myself. I saw a little girl.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On Monday’s <\/span>Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/span><\/em>, <\/span>Larson also spoke about her<\/a> chance meeting with Lopez. “She just kind of doesn’t exist for me as a human being,” she said. “She’s, like, my god.”<\/span><\/p>\n
