During a performance of Nicki Minaj’s hit song “Anaconda,” Jennifer Lopez made headlines for what many fans perceived as a subtle diss toward Minaj. The incident occurred during a live show when Lopez’s rendition seemed to exclude or modify parts associated with Minaj, sparking speculation of tension between the two artists.

Nicki may have given a hot performance at ‘Fashion Rocks’ on Sept. 9, but J.Lo was not having any of it! The ‘Booty’ singer kept her arms crossed and refused to dance like the rest of the audience. Is it all because of Casper Smart? Jennifer Lopez appeared to throw some MAJOR shade toward Nicki Minaj during Fashion Rocks on Sept. 9.

Jennifer Lopez Disses Nicki Minaj — J.Lo Throws Shade At ‘Fashion Rocks’

Well, it’s important to note that Casper Smart, Jennifer Lopez’s hot young ex, choreographed Nicki’s “Anaconda” video. He also helped prepare Nicki for her performance at the event, which was held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

In fact, Casper and Nicki have been spending quite a bit of time together lately. He also helped prepare Nicki for her performance the MTV VMAs on Aug. 24.

Is Jennifer not happy about her ex getting close to Nicki? It’s possible.

Of course, there’s no evidence to this theory, but J.Lo definitely looked unhappy during Nicki’s sexy performance. Carmen Electra was spotted shaking her groove thing to “Anaconda,” and Jennifer just crossed her arms and sat there. It could have also been that JLo had just given a butt-shaking performance, too!
