“New drama in the showbiz!” Jennifer Lopez gets down without mercy on the Met Gala 2025 by Shakira: “I don’t like to share the stage with her!”

The Met Gala 2025 promised to be a night full of stars, glamor and unforgettable moments, but an unexpected absence has eclipsed all the headlines: Jennifer Lopez did not attend. The reason, according to sources close to the artist, was not an agenda conflict or a health problem, but something much more personal and controversial: Shakira’s presence.

Yes, you read well. Jennifer Lopez, one of the indisputable queens of world entertainment, decided to cancel his appearance in one of the most anticipated events of the year upon learning that Shakira would also be present. A confidential source close to the singer revealed that J.O was “annoying” and “absolutely negative” in the idea of ​​coinciding with the Colombian on the red carpet. “I don’t like to share the stage with her,” Lopez would have said in a private conversation filtered to entertainment media.

Rumors of tension between the two are not new. Since its iconic joint presentation at the 2020 Super Bowl, much has been speculated on the true relationship between them. While both publicly showed smiles and professionalism, behind the racks things would not have been so harmonious. According to various reports, Lopez would have felt that his prominence was “shared unfairly” and that his role in the show was minimized to give Shakira greater visibility.

The alleged rivalry has been fed by ambiguous statements, elusive looks at events and, now, with this radical decision, Jennifer seems to confirm what many have already suspected: between them there is no friendship, not even cordiality. The absence of J. It not only generated a notable vacuum in the gala, but also opened the door to a new wave of speculation, memes and debates in social networks.

For his part, Shakira appeared radiant on the Met Gala, wearing a haute couture dress that captured the attention of photographers and monopolized headlines. He made no direct mention to Lopez’s absence, but his confident attitude and his constant smile were interpreted by many as a silent but forceful response.

The entertainment industry lives on these moments of high voltage. While both artists are world icons with impeccable trajectories, their egos, styles and visions of the stage seem too different to coexist without friction. Meanwhile, fans are divided: some defend J. for not “lowering”, others applaud Shakira for standing firm and professional.

One thing is safe: this drama still has chapters to write. And in the world of showbiz, every look, every absence and every word not said … says much more than it seems.
