Media attention has also focused on her personal life. She has had high-profile relationships with Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Sean Combs, Ben Affleck, and Marc Anthony. Her first children, fraternal twins named Max and Emme, were born on February 22, 2008.
Jennifer Lopez was born and grew up in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents Guadalupe Rodriguez and David Lopez. She has two sisters, Lynda and Leslie.
Jennifer Lopez financed singing and dancing lessons from the age of 16. After she dropped out of college, Lopez pursued her talent for dance. She split her time between her job at a law office, taking dance classes, and dancing in Manhattan clubs at night. She got her first spot and started out in television as a video girl for rap artist MC Hammer, also a guest spot on the American Music Awards. Her first regular high profile gig was as a “fly girl” dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1990 after being twice rejected. She then left the show after the second season due to friction with another dancer.
Lopez’s debut album On The 6, a reference to the 6 subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill was released on June 1, 1999, and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. The album featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one lead single, “If You Had My Love” as well as the top ten hit “Waiting for Tonight”. The album also featured a Spanish language, Latin-flavored duet “No Me Ames” with Marc Anthony (who later would become her husband). Though “No Me Ames” never had a commercial release, it reached number one on the U.S. Hot Latin Tracks. On the 6 featured guest artists such as Big Pun and Fat Joe on the track “Feelin’ So Good”, which had moderate success on the Billboard Hot 100. “Let’s Get Loud”, the final single, earned Lopez a Grammy Award nomination in the “Best Dance Recording” category in 2001 Grammy Awards. “Waiting for Tonight” was nominated for the same category the previous year. “No Me Ames” received two nominations at the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards: “Best Pop Duo/Group with Vocal Performance” and “Best Music Video”.
Lopez’s second album, J.Lo, was released on January 23, 2001 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. When her film The Wedding Planner achieved number one shortly after, Lopez become the first actress-singer to have a film and an album at number one in the same week. The lead single, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing”, was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She followed it up with “Play” which gave her another top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK. Her next two singles were “I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny” which were quickly rising up the charts. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to remix both songs, which featured rap artists Ja Rule (on both) and Caddillac Tah (on the “Ain’t It Funny” remix). Both remixes reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks. She re-released J. Lo on her thirty-second birthday with the remix of “I’m Real” as a bonus track. Also, “Si Ya Se Acabó” was released in Spain, due to the success of “Que Ironia”.
Following the success of the re-release of J. Lo, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the remixing effort, releasing J to tha L-O! The Remixes, on February 5, 2002. This album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first remix album in history to debut at the top on the chart. Featured artists on J to tha L-O! The Remixes included P. Diddy, Fat Joe, and 50 Cent and the album included rare dance and hip hop remixes of past singles. It is the third all-time biggest-selling remix album in the world, after Michael Jackson’s Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997) and Madonna’s You Can Dance (1987).
On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her third studio album, This Is Me… Then, which reached number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned four singles: “Jenny from the Block” (featuring Jadakiss and Styles), which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100; “All I Have” (featuring LL Cool J), which spent multiple weeks at number one; “I’m Glad”; and “Baby I Love U!”. The album included a cover of Carly Simon’s 1978 “You Belong to Me”.
After a year away from the music scene, Lopez released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. Although debuting and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, the album quickly fell off the charts. It spawned the hit “Get Right”, which reached the top fifteen in the U.S. and became her second Platinum hit (after “If You Had My Love”). “Get Right” was also successful in the UK, becoming her second number-one single there. The second single, “Hold You Down”, which featured Fat Joe, reached number sixty-four on the U.S. Hot 100; it peaked at number six in the UK and ascended to the top twenty in Australia. Another song, “Cherry Pie”, was slated for a release in late 2005, but the plans to make a video were cancelled as the album sales were definitely too weak and the promotion budget exceeded. It was released to radio stations in Spain. Rebirth was certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA. Lopez was then featured on LL Cool J’s single “Control Myself”, which was released on February 1, 2006. It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart. It was Lopez’s first U.S. top ten hit in three years.
Lopez officially released her first full Spanish-language album, called Como Ama Una Mujer, on March 27, 2007 in the U.S. and March 23, 2007 in Europe.

The album peaked at number ten on the U.S. Billboard 200, number one on the U.S. Top Latin Albums (for four straight weeks), number one on the U.S. Latin Pop Albums (for seven straight weeks) and number one hundred and thirty-one in the UK. The album did well in Europe peaking at number three on the albums chart, mainly due to the big success in countries like Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Greece, Germany, Austria, and Portugal. The lead single, “Qué Hiciste” (Spanish for “What Did You Do”), was officially released to radio stations in January 2007. Since then, it has peaked at eighty-six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Latin Songs and the Hot Dance Club Play. It also went top ten on the European chart. The video for the song was the first Spanish-language video to peak at number one on MTV’s Total Request Live daily countdown. The second single released is called “Me Haces Falta”.

I'd die for you
Ooh 'cause I'm a fool in love with you
And I'll do anything that pleases you
I want to run to you
Breathe as one with you
Absent in time without you
Existing only for you
Every dream is of you
Only turn to you
Baby, my love
Only for you
I'd ride for you
'Cause your the truth
I'd die for you
Ooh 'cause I'm a fool in love with you
And I'll do anything that pleases you
I'm gonna ride for you ooh
I'd ride for you
'Cause your the truth
I'd die for you
Ooh 'cause I'm a fool in love with you
And I'll do anything that pleases you
Only you
I'd ride for you
'Cause you're the truth
I'd die for you
Oh 'cause I'm a fool in love with you
And I'd do anything that pleases you
Yeah
The lyrics of Jennifer Lopez's song "Ryde or Die" appears to be a declaration of undying love that defies rationality. The person singing is head-over-heels in love with someone and is willing to do anything for them. The song begins with the singer confessing that she is crazy with the person she is in love with and does not know what to do. She goes on to insist that she would give up everything, including material possessions and even her very last breath, just to be with them. She is ready to do anything that will make them happy, even if that means throwing away her only wish, dying all alone, or going through pain all over again.
The chorus repeats the singer's proclamation that they would ride and die for the person they are in love with. This shows the extent of the love that the singer feels for this person. At some point, she is willing to tell a lie just because she knows that the person she loves is the truth. Towards the end of the song, she mentions that she wants to run to the person she loves, to breathe as one with them.
The lyrics of this song speak of an all-consuming love that makes a person willing to do anything to make their loved one happy. It showcases the extent humans can go to for love, and how love can drive them to do crazy things.

@@adaramontoya8616girl no, yes anyone can write the song and demo it but your not supposed to use their voice and claim it as yours your supposed to sing it in your voice. Do you hear anyone else on Beyonce's songs, or Kelly Rowland or even Brandy? No because even if the song is written by a do person those who purchased it the makes their own, not copy exactly what they made and then pretend it's their voice and not even give credit and she has done this multiple times, none of her music is hers and I'm sorry to break it to you, she also definitely can't sing.
If she could she wouldn't need Brandy s or anyone else's voice. Taylor Swift also cannot sing. But see she actually uses background singers who are paid to be in the 🔙 not stealing people's voices and trying to hide them in the background 😂😂😂?
And justice for what of anything she owes a bunch of other people justice.😂😂😂 She seriously needs to get sued.
Especially since I most the woman she steals from is black, did you see the story about when she did Motown tribute that she shouldn't have been involved in because she has nothing to do with that brand or culture and she ain't from the hood like she claimed and yes cultural appropriation so she can appeal to black people while at the same time stealing from black people. I'm sorry she is not who you want her to be.

That's how it is supposed to sound 😂
@worldbreaker6982
I can hear Brandy's vocals all up and through this
@nickt.8507
nope..only on the chorus..the lead is JLO
@enilehcodramramlised8716
Right
@bktee8182
Yup she didn’t even try to re sing the parts brandy sung just trash
@adaramontoya8616
Jennifer can sing just fine and if you can't distinguish between her vocals and background vocals, then a rat is smarter than you! Haters gonna hate, she remains unbothered and collecting the bags and there's nothing u can do about it. B*tches!

@stevekima8881
Good for her. Shes gonna need these checks
@Andiamchrista
They tried to hide Brandy’s vocals, & failed 😂 no one sounds like Brandy. That’s a voice that can be recognized 5,000,000 miles away.
@adaramontoya8616
Every record label hires songwriters and backup singers to sing the demo or background vocals for their artists. They get their credit and their money for doing their job. Same thing for Brandy!

That doesn't make it invalid.

@@Andiamchrista the time length doesn't make it invalid... You can clearly hear brandy's vocals on the backgrounds. That's not masking.
