During her recent performance in Malaga, Spain, Jennifer Lopez, who is renowned for her compelling stage presence, came under fire for speaking in English.
The singer and actor opted to speak to her audience in English even though she was proficient in Spanish, which infuriated the audience.
Some fans yelled for Lopez to speak in Spanish when she addressed the audience in English during the show, which began with her famous song “On the Floor.”
Some audience members felt alienated, nevertheless, when the Dance Again vocalist did not change the words she used.
The performance venue was not the only location for the backlash. Many people were disappointed that Lopez didn’t speak Spanish, and social media sites were inundated with criticism.
One person added, “He addresses the audience in English when he knows how to do it perfectly well in Spanish,” which echoed remarks made by other followers.
This is not the first time Lopez’s use of language has caused controversy. Her choice to address a Spanish-speaking audience in English as a Latina artist has sparked debate regarding her relationship with both her audience and her heritage.
