(NewsNation) — Bad Bunny shook the country when he took the stage at Super Bowl LX with Lady Gaga joining him and other Latin artists like Ricky Martin, Jessica Alba, Cardi B and Pedro Pascal dancing in the background.
But one major Puerto Rican was missing — and I’m told she was irate about not being invited.
Jennifer Lopez, who shared the Super Bowl stage with Bad Bunny and Shakira at the 2020 game, was “shook” and “furious” she wasn’t at the big game.

”She’s been trying to make a comeback,” my Hollywood insider said. “Nothing is working. Her movie [“Kiss of the Spider Woman”] bombed.

No matter — Lopez still made the Super Bowl performance about her, according to her Instagram.
On the big game day, she posted multiple photos of her and Bad Bunny from six years ago, noting, “Sending you love, positivity and the biggest hug in the world! We are all behind you tonight. I know you are going to kill it! I am here with you the way you were there with me.”

Except, as my source sniped: “She wasn’t actually there. Which is a shame. She could use the association right now. He’s hot — she’s not… and it all seems so desperate for attention.”
Indeed, two days later, J.Lo posted odd photos of her at the gym, sitting on a bench with her shirt pulled up to expose her deep cleavage sports bra.
