What did Gloria Estefan say about Jennifer Lopez?  

During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Estefan shared some thoughts about Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's performance at the Super Bowl 'halftime' 2020. Estefan, Lopez, and Shakira, three of the most prominent entertainers, credited for the crossover of Latin music, it was only natural for Estefan to comment on the content. "Look, this is the bottom line. You have very little time, like 12 minutes or something, to get things on and off the set," Gloria said about the Superbowl halftime gig.

"So, could you do it with one person? Yes, but I think they wanted to throw a Miami and Latin extravaganza, and they tried to pack it as much as possible," Gloria adds while revealing that she has turned down to be the third co-headliner at the important event. "Imagine what J.Lo would have said if I was the third [performer]! I literally would come out, done 'Shake Your Body’ [and Conga] and out. It was their moment."

Estefan's shady reaction comes after Lopez's recently released Halftime documentary, which divulged Lopez's initial feelings on being named the co-headliner with the Hip Don't lie crooner. "We have six f—king minutes. We have 30 seconds of a song, and if we take a minute, that’s it; we’ve got five left. But there's got to be certain songs that we sing, though, the Hustler actress says, adding, "This is the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl. It was the worst idea in the world.”
