US pop star Lizzo said “nobody asked me” to appear in Jennifer Lopez’s new genre-defying musical extravaganza.
The hour-long special This Is Me… Now: A Love Story features Lopez alongside a string of star cameos, including Jane Fonda, Sofia Vergara, Keke Palmer, Kim Petras and Post Malone, who play members of a Zodiacal Council.
In a follow-up documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told, producer Courtney Baxter claims US actress Jennifer Coolidge and singer-songwriter Lizzo were among the celebrities “not available” to feature in the star-studded musical special.
“Ain’t nobody told me nothing, nobody asked me. J-Lo I love you,” Lizzo said in a video posted on TikTok.
The Truth Hurts singer, 35, would have featured as part of the astrologically inspired group of celebrities that meet to dissect Lopez’s love life in the Amazon Original special.
Lopez’s musical film and accompanying album embodies the star coming full circle from her 2002 engagement and break-up with US actor Ben Affleck, to their reunion in 2021 and subsequent marriage.
Elsewhere in the doc, Lopez was left emotional as she recalled breaking off her engagement to Ben Affleck in 2004.
The couple originally met on the set of the universally panned Gigli in 2001, while J-Lo was still married to her second husband, dancer Chris Judd.
Collectively known as “Bennifer”, they got engaged in November 2002 after a whirlwind romance, however, days before they were due to get married, they called off the wedding citing “media attention” and eventually split in 2004.
