JLo graced the SNL stage with a reimagined version of “Can’t Get Enough,” featuring rapper Latto and a surprise appearance by Redman.

Jennifer Lopez Debuted A New Song, ‘This Is Me…Now,’ In A Rosy Pink ‘SNL’ Performance

In her second performance of the night, Jennifer Lopez debuted new music on the Saturday Night Live stage. Ahead of her upcoming album, This Is Me…Now, Lopez premiered the album’s title track.

The song, which serves as the opener on This Is Me…Now, is downtempo ballad, on which, Lopez basks in the joy of her rekindled love with her now-husband, Ben Affleck.

“You met me halfway / Growing pains, broke some chains in every chapter / Now we know what it takes for our ever after / Took some lefts, now we’re right here where we are,” sings Lopez in the song’s opening verse.

Having made a loving reconnection, Lopez realizes that Affleck has helped her love herself even more.

“This is me now / And I took my time / Lot of winters summers baby / And I healed my heart / But I love who I am lately / This is me now,” sings Lopez on the song’s chorus.

While on stage, Lopez was dressed in pink roses, symbolizing a blissful new chapter — a brand new era of love and happiness, with the person she never stopped thinking about.

Ayo Edebiri Seemingly Addressed Her Resurfaced Comments About Jennifer Lopez During A Game Show Sketch On ‘SNL’

In the modern day of technology, many of us have learned the hard lesson that past posts and comments can come back to haunt us. Such was the case for Ayo Edebiri on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

During a sketch, Edebiri, along with SNL cast members Andrew Dismuskes and Chloe Fineman, play contestants competing on a game show called Why Did I Say That?, hosted by Kenan Thompson. During the game show, Thompson retrieved past comments left on people’s posts by the contestants. The comments range from sexually objectifying to threatening death. The rules of the game entailed each contestant explaining why they left such comments on the posts.

After being forced to revisit those comments, Edebiri’s character decided she had enough.

“We get it,” Edebiri said. “It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast, and you don’t consider the impact because you’re 24 and stupid. But I think I speak for everyone when I say from now on, we’re gonna be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online.”

Perhaps Edebiri’s character is referring to a guest appearance she made on Laci Mosley’s Scam Goddess podcast back in 2020, during which, Edebiri alluded to rumors that Jennifer Lopez — who was tonight’s musical guest — uses ghost singers on her track.

“She thinks she’s on multiple tracks, but it’s not her,” Edebiri said at the time. “I think she thinks that she’s still good even though she’s not singing for most of these songs.”

Though tonight, it seemed that Lopez and Edebiri were both in good spirits. Perhaps they’ve put their differences aside?

Tonight (February 3) Jennifer Lopez made her fifth appearance on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest. The performance arrives ahead of her upcoming album, This Is Me…Now, which will be accompanied by a film, streaming on Prime Video. And with her performance of the album’s lead single, “Can’t Get Enough,” Lopez gave us a taste of what to expect, by showing off her theatrics.

While on stage, Lopez moved effortlessly to the festive beat. Joined by dancers matching her energy, Lopez continued to ride the high ahead of This Is Me…Now, which was largely inspired by her rekindled romance with her now-husband, Ben Affleck.

Dressed in black and white, Lopez and her dancers were celebrating the ultimate wedding bash. Midway through the performance, she was joined by rapper Latto, who contributed a verse to the song’s remix, which was released last month. While Latto’s surprise appearance was rather short, she didn’t once miss a beat.

Toward the end of the performance, rapper Redman made a surprise appearance, adding yet another new verse to “Can’t Get Enough.”

You can watch a clip of the performance of “Can’t Get Enough” above.

Everyone Drake Has Dated

Drake, one of this generation’s most popular hip-hop artists, has had his fair share of romantic relationships in the public eye. Drake is linked to famous women worldwide, from fellow musicians to athletes. Here’s a look at everyone Drake has been in a relationship with:

Rihanna

Drake’s first high-profile relationship was with Rihanna, the Barbadian singer and actress. Early on in 2009, the two reportedly began dating in 2009, and their relationship was highly publicized in the media. Although the couple had an on-and-off relationship for several years, they finally called it quits in 2016. Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, they remained friends and even collaborated on songs, including “Take Care” and “Work.”

J-Lo

After his breakup with Rihanna, Drake began dating Jennifer Lopez, the American singer and actress. Later on, in late 2016, they would often be seen together in public. However, their relationship was short-lived, and the couple called it quits in early 2017.

Drake’s next highly publicized relationship was with American model and actress Bella Hadid. The two were first spotted together in 2017, and rumors of their relationship began circulating. However, neither he nor Bella ever confirmed their relationship, and whether they were dating remains unclear.

Later on, in 2018, Drake was linked to another famous model, Hailey Bieber, the American model and wife of Justin Bieber. The two were seen together several times, and rumors of their relationship began circulating. Nevertheless, like his relationship with Bella Hadid, he never confirmed whether he was dating Hailey.

Johanna Leia

Drake’s most recent fling was with Johanna Leia, the mother of Amari Bailey, a highly-touted basketball prospect. The two were first spotted together in 2021, and their relationship was highly publicized in the media. However, their relationship was short-lived, and the couple reportedly split up a few months later.

Have His Relationships Affected His Music Career?

To conclude, the impact of women in Drake’s life and career has been a topic of much discussion. Some argue that his highly publicized relationships have helped to increase his popularity and public profile. Others say that his relationships have been a distraction from his music and have caused him to lose focus on his career.

Despite his relationships’ impact on his career, the rapper remains one of the most successful musicians in the industry. Overall, he has won numerous awards, including four Grammy Awards, and has sold over 170 million records worldwide. Incidentally, his music significantly impacts popular culture, with many of his songs becoming viral hits and inspiring countless memes and TikTok videos.

Despite the ups and downs, Drake remains one of the most successful musicians in the industry. Meanwhile, the impact of his connections on his life and career is a topic of much discussion. Yet, it is still clear that Drake’s music has significantly impacted popular culture and helped solidify his place as one of the most.

Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Find $34 Million Dream Home

After searching for the perfect place to call home, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have finally settled on a stunning $34 million abode. The duo recently tied the knot back in July 2022, and have been on the hunt for a home to merge their two families. With 7 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, there certainly is enough room for the two A-listers and their combined 5 children. This mansion resides in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, which is historically known for housing well-known celebrities.

This Hamptons-influenced house covers an acre and boasts many flashy perks. Inside the mansion is a screen room, which is perfect for the two actors to preview their upcoming projects. This L.A. retreat also has its own in-home health spa, as well as a wine cellar. Yes, this place has it all. But, the real kicker is that JLo will actually be making money off of her move. Her current Bel-Air home is listed for $42.5 million, which is way more than when she bought it for $28 million in 2016.

2023 Is An Exciting Year For Jen & Ben

The couple was recently under the spotlight after their Grammy’s appearance, resulting in Affleck becoming a meme. Affleck was caught off guard several times on camera, and the internet couldn’t help but chuckle at his lackluster appearance. What makes matters worse is that the couple was caught in the middle of an argument while Trevor Noah was presenting. But, worry not. An inside source told Entertainment Tonight that Ben just had a long day of work. The source explained, “Jen had a great time and wanted Ben to be excited to be there, but she understood where he was coming from. Jen knows Ben is a great husband and they still made sure to have a good night together.”

So what’s next for Bennifer? The cute pair has already had an exciting start to this year as a married couple. JLo produces and stars in the upcoming Spring release of The Mother, which follows the story of an assailant protecting her daughter. Affleck, on the other hand, has 4 upcoming projects. The soonest to release is Air, directed and starring Affleck himself. The biographical film covers the recruitment of Michael Jordan. It’s easy to see how this talented duo support each other, especially through JLo’s shoutouts of Affleck’s work on her social medias.
