Jennifer Lopez was hurt that fans called her out for using a derogatory slur in a song, and defended her stance firmly.
From being a stunning dancer and singer to making her mark in Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez has been there and done it all with aplomb.

But as is the case with all celebrities, the fame and adulation comes at a cost. Over the years, Lopez has also been the center of attraction for the wrong reasons, whether it has to do with her romantic relationships or her public persona.
One of the controversies that the Maid in Manhattan star was embroiled in, saw her being accused of using a racial slur in a song. Lopez though, stoically defended her actions without apology.
Jennifer Lopez Was Called Out For Using A Racial Slur In A Song
In today’s world, any topic of sensitive nature can trigger emotions worldwide, especially if it has to do with religion or race. Singing and acting superstar Jennifer Lopez experienced this first hand when serious allegations regarding the usage of a controversial racial slur were made against her.
The song in question was the remix version of I’m Real which was written by rapper Ja Rule who also performed on the track. Soon after its release, the song created a stir as listeners heard Lopez use the N-word in the opening verse that was the derogatory slang to refer to African Americans.

Following this, many prominent writers and fans expressed their displeasure towards the Gigli star and questioned her tone-deafness regarding the same. Lopez though, who performed this track at the Rockefeller Center in the Today show, stood her ground firmly without apology. In a quote from the show (via Washington Post), the celebrity explained her reasons behind defending herself and said,
The singer also made everyone aware that the lyrics of the song was written by a Black rapper and was not meant to be hurtful or derogatory towards anyone.
Fans Questioned ‘Teetotaler’ Jennifer Lopez For Pioneering Alcohol Brand
Jennifer Lopez has been a self-confessed fitness freak and the results are evidently seen through her stunning appearance. The star has also publicly stated that she is not a drinker and has made it a point to avoid alcohol completely for the sake of health. Therefore, it came as a big surprise when The Wedding Planner actor forayed into the alcohol market by launching her cocktail range named Delola.

This venture got fans questioning her ideals and opinions regarding drinking. Many viewers wondered why Lopez would launch a company of this nature when she had vociferously been against the consumption of alcohol. Responding with an answer in her Instagram page, the singer said,
“I know that a lot of people have been talking about, ‘Oh, she doesn’t even drink, what’s she doing with a cocktail out?’ And to tell you the truth, that was true for a long time — I didn’t drink. A few years back, as you will see from several photos of me over the past 10, maybe 15 years, I have been having the occasional cocktail.”
While Lopez addressed this query, she refrained from commenting on other concerns from fans regarding her husband Ben Affleck’s drinking, and how the launch of this brand of cocktail could be seen as a hypocritical business venture.
