Jennifer Lopez and Ayo Edebiri are hosting SNL together coming up this weekend, but it seems like there is some drama heating up.

Back in February of 2020, The Bear star, 28, made an appearance on the ‘Scam Goddess’ podcast and had some choice words when it came to Lopez, claiming she was a fraud.

The actress criticized the 51-year-old ‘On the Floor’ singer’s vocal ability and stated that her ‘career is one long scam.’

“I think she thinks she’s still good even though she’s not singing for most of these songs,’ Edebiri alleged, adding that she was ‘fascinated’ by the lore.

She also discussed a long-standing rumor that Lopez has allegedly used ghost singers in the past.

Edibiri accused Lopez of even injecting herself with human growth hormones to attain her fit body and youthful appearance.

However, sources told TMZ that the incident is in the past and Edebiri would consider herself a JLo fan nowadays.
