We’re sure a lot of you love muffins watched the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, but did you catch the subtle but powerful statement about the border crisis?
The moment occurred in the middle of Lopez’s set and featured J. Lo’s 11-year-old daughter with Marc Anthony (Emme) confidently belting out a slowed down version of her mother’s hit single “Let’s Get Loud” as she and other Latina children crawled out of steel cages all over the football field. This led to a brief rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s working class protest anthem “Born In The USA” while Jennifer donned a large Puerto Rican flag.
Sources at Roc Nation exclusively tell lovebscott.com that moment almost didn’t happen. The political statement about the border crisis was J. Lo’s brainchild, a response to the Trump administration’s controversial immigration policy detaining undocumented minors in cages. But Roc Nation, the management/production company headed by Jay-Z, allegedly fought to get her to cut it from her set. Jay-Z’s Roc Nation deal with the NFL is supposed to be working to smooth over the drama caused by Colin Kaepernick’s social justice protest; but a lot of people aren’t happy with the partnership- including some inside the rapper’s own organization.
