In a recent Variety cover story, Jennifer Lopez revealed that comedian Ayo Edebiri had personally apologized to her for comments made almost four years ago. The incident occurred during the filming of an episode of Saturday Night Live, where Edebiri served as the host and Lopez as the musical guest.

The controversy began when an episode of the podcast Scam Goddess, featuring Edebiri, resurfaced on the internet. Host Laci Mosley claimed that Lopez's entire career was a "long scam," prompting Edebiri to express critical opinions about the singer's vocals on certain songs.

During the SNL rehearsals, Edebiri reportedly approached Lopez in her dressing room and apologized sincerely for her earlier remarks. According to Lopez, Edebiri was "mortified and very sweet," with tears in her eyes as she expressed remorse for her hurtful words. Lopez noted that Edebiri had the opportunity to hear her perform during their soundcheck, which seemed to have impacted the comedian's perspective.

Despite the apology, Lopez revealed that she was not deeply affected by Edebiri's comments, remarking that she had heard similar criticisms throughout her career. Nonetheless, she appreciated the sincerity of the apology and acknowledged Edebiri's regret.

As of now, Edebiri has not provided any further comments on the matter. However, an allusion to the controversy was made during the SNL episode, where Edebiri appeared on a fictional game show hosted by Kenan Thompson. The sketch emphasized the importance of being thoughtful about online posts and acknowledging the impact of one's words.

While Lopez accepted Edebiri's apology graciously, she also expressed her desire to shift the focus back to her work. With her recent performances and upcoming projects, the singer-actress is eager to continue entertaining her fans.

In conclusion, Jennifer Lopez gracefully accepted the apology from Ayo Edebiri for the controversial comments made about her singing abilities. Despite the slight controversy, it seems that both parties have moved past the incident. Lopez remains focused on her career, ready to impress her fans with her talent and upcoming projects.
