Social Media Reacts To Jennifer Lopez Calling Herself ‘A Black Girl From The Bronx’
Jennifer Lopez is facing some serious backlash after hopping on a track with Colombian singer Maluma. On their song, “Lonely,” Lopez calls herself “a black girl from the Bronx,” and social media quickly reacted.
While it may not be uncommon for Latinos living among African Americans to assimilate or identify with Black culture, some users on Twitter side-eyed “Jenny From The Block” for singing, “Siempre serás tu negrita del Bronx,” which translates to “I’ll always be your Black girl from the Bronx.”

In addition to calling J.Lo out for her “negrita” line, fans and critics recalled the Puerto Rican singer’s use of the n-word, specifically on the Ja Rule duet “I’m Real.” #Socialites, thoughts?

@JLo Dating Diddy, stealing @ashanti vocals and having little cuff of ass does not make you a “negrita del Bronx” have several seats.

@JLo referred to herself as “tu negrita Del Bronx” in her new song Lonely with Maluma. Y’all want to tell her? Or should I? I’m calling an official gathering of Ricans to collect these folks because between her and these braids on Bad Bunny..
