Jennifer Lopez was angry that she had to share her big performance in the first part of the Super Bowl with Shakirwn in 2020, calling it the ‘worst idea in the world’ in her new documentary.

In the first part, the long-awaited Netflix documentary by the 52-year-old iconic star premiered Wednesday night (June 8) in New York at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The title of the film is both a sign for JLo who is entering her 50s and for her appearance in the first part of the Super Bowl and promises to explore her life inside and outside the stage.

When it was announced that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira would head to the first part of the Super Bowl 2020 show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, fans had no idea JLo initially hated the idea.

In Halftime, an angry Jennifer goes and talks to NFL executives about why they wanted two women to do a job that usually goes for a single artist, writes

DailyMail.

"Hell we have six minutes.

We have 30 seconds of a song and if we take a minute, that's all we have five left.

But, there must be certain songs that we sing.

We need to have our own singing moments.

"We have to sing our message," Lopez told her music director at one point.

"This is the worst idea in the world for two people to do a Super Bowl.

"It was the worst idea in the world," she said.

"This is something I have worked for and hope for for years.

Typically, you have a starter in a Super Bowl.

This performer builds a show and, if they choose to have other guests, it is their choice.

"It was an insult to say that it took two Latinos to do the work that an artist has historically done," said JLo manager Benny Medina.

Lopez and Shakira eventually got to be able to work together, but their relationship was cool, albeit professional.

Recall that even the 2022 show, the NFL again went for numerous artists with Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and special guest 50 Cent.

The first half also revealed that the co-headers were not the only reason Lopez was very angry with the NFL.

At the time, the immigration crisis was raging in the US and there was widespread outrage over images of immigrant children being held in cages at ICE detention centers under the Trump administration.

Lopez presented children in cages as part of her performance to make a political statement and her longtime manager, Benny Medina, said in the document that the National Football League was puzzled.

"We left the rehearsal and I noticed that everyone was going crazy, but I do not know why.

I got a call from Benny and he said, "They want to pull the cages," she explained.

That night, top NFL executives saw him for the first time and they said, "Hey, you can not do that."

"The NFL had a real concern about making a political statement about immigration.

They looked at the plans and the message was absolute.

They did not like those cages on the show.

"This came from the highest authority."

"For me, this is not about politics.

This is about human rights.

I am facing the biggest crossroads of my life, to be able to perform on the biggest stage in the world, but to pull out the cages and sacrifice what I believe in, it would be like I was never at all there ", says Lopez.

The first part of the documentary will dig into Jennifer's personal life, including her relationship with her 14-year-old twins Max and Emme, as well as her working life, according to a press release.

The film is directed by Amanda Micheli, whose previous work includes "Vegas Baby", which followed the contestants in a YouTube contest, where the prize was an IVF round at a free clinic in Las Vegas.

Her new movie with Jennifer will be available to air on Netflix next Tuesday.
