This is a great time for Mrs. Lopez, who just got off the big hit movie, The Hustlers, in which she stars alongside an ensemble cast including herself, Cardi B, Constance Wu, Julia Stiles, and others. Moreover, she just celebrated her 50th birthday as well.

The singer added that she and Shakira were “over the moon” about the upcoming performance. Last year, the Super Bowl was the subject of much controversy, especially in the hip-hop and black community, for the fact that Travis Scott, Big Boi, and Adam Levine were performing.

Criticisms of the performance had to do with the Colin Kaepernick controversy. Some of the biggest names in the rap game were not pleased with the announcement, including Jay-Z as well as Meek Mill.

Furthermore, it was reported that Rihanna, as well as Cardi B, turned down the job as well. The Super Bowl was criticized after the fact additionally, due to not only the poor audio quality but also because Adam Levine, the Maroon 5 singer, took his shirt off in the middle of the performance.

Many people on social media took Adam to task for supposedly “making it all about him.”
