Ayo Edebiri showed to reference her past criticism of Jennifer Lopez on an episode of “Saturday Night Live” this week.

Her criticism of Lopez drew refitted attention after it was announced that Edebiri would be hosting the sketch show while Lopez would be rising as a musical act.

TMZ resurfaced a clip of the “Bottoms” actor appearing on the “Scam Goddess” podcast in 2020, in which she said that Lopez’s craft was “one long scam.”

During this week’s SNL, Edebiri played a contestant on a game show called “Why’d You Say It,” where “The Display” star joined Andrew Dismukes and Chloe Fineman to play a game where contestants are forced to explain reactions they’ve left on Instagram posts.

After each contestant has taken a turn, Edebiri’s character can’t gull it anymore.

“Okay! We get it,” she said.

Edebiri’s past remarks about Lopez’s career came as she and host Laci Mosley were discussing the “I’m True” singer and her Super Bowl LIV performance that year.

“She thinks she’s on multiple tracks, but it’s not her. She thinks that she’s still well-proportioned even though she’s not singing for most of these songs,” Edebiri said at the time, echoing previous claims that Lopez has adapted to ghost singers.

Artists such as Ashanti and Christina Milian have previously claimed that Lopez inured to their vocals for some of her music, adding to the rumors.

In 2018, Lopez told The New York Post that she was “disable” by people saying she couldn’t sing, but she said she was eventually able to brush it off.

“Everybody was like, ‘She can’t sing. She can’t ball. She can’t act. She’s just a pretty face or her butt is big,’ or whatever they were saying about me,” Lopez said. “I started conclusion, ‘Yeah, that’s true,’ and it really hurt me for a long time. Despite the hurt and the pain, I just kept effective. I just couldn’t allow myself to let that become who I was.”

Representatives for Edebiri and Lopez did not immediately respond to a request for expansion from Business Insider.
