In the not-so-distant past, Ayo Edebiri voiced controversial opinions about Jennifer Lopez's musical career on the Scam Goddess podcast in 2020. Edebiri, now 28, boldly asserted that Lopez's entire career was "one long scam."

Edebiri delved into her fascination with Lopez's alleged use of other artists' vocals, citing write-ups that hinted at Lopez's absence from the studio. The actress-turned-comedian expressed, "A lot of the write-ups of the songs will be like, 'J. Lo didn't have time to make it to the studio,' like, 'J. Lo was busy. It's like, 'Doing what?' Not singing, obviously!!"
Now, these past remarks of Ayo Edebiri resurface as the two prepare to share the SNL stage, sparking curiosity about their dynamic.
