Gloria Estefan clearly has a good sense of humor. The legendary singer appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this week, revealing that she, too, had been asked to perform at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Shakira and Jennifer Lopez — an offer she ended up turning down, saying, “imagine what J. Lo would have said if I was the third [performer]!”
Gloria was lightheartedly poking fun at comments Jennifer made in her Netflix documentary, “Halftime,” where she expressed her frustration in having to share the stage with another performer when the Super Bowl Halftime Show is usually headlined by one musical act and not two. “This is the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl,” the mother-of-two was heard saying in her doc, annoyed that her set would be cut short in order to split time with Shakira.

“This is something I have been working for and hoping for years.” The “All I Have” singer’s longtime manager, Benny Medina, seemed just as irritated by the NFL’s decision in wanting to have two people headline the iconic halftime show in Miami, adding, “It was an insult to think that you needed two Latinas to do the job that one artist historically has done.”
Elsewhere in the documentary, Jennifer had also discussed her relationship with her mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, who she recalled “beating the sh*t” out of her as a teenager.
J. Lo admitted that things had eventually turned so bad between her and her mom that she ended up moving out of the family home given that there had already been a lot of friction building up between the pair.
“She did what she had to do to survive, and it made her strong, but it also made her tough. She beat the s*** out of us,” she remembered. Jennifer described her mom as being a “super complicated woman” who carried a lot of baggage with her stemming from her younger years. It was extremely important for Guadalupe that her children were independent people who didn’t have to rely on a man.
Stop putting artists against each other! Its all she said and we should be agree cuz both latina Queens are amazing and deserve more❤@JLo @shakira #halftime #jlo #Shakira pic.twitter.com/TslELAUbUd

“I was surrounded by a lot of strong women. My mum is a super complicated woman, and she carries a lot of baggage; she wanted us to be independent and never have to rely on a man,” Jennifer continued.
“My mum was like, “If you’re gonna live in this house, you’re gonna get your education”. We got into a bad fight one night, and I just left.”
