Jennifer Lopez lit up the 2025 AMAs in Las Vegas with a bold, headline-grabbing performance that had jaws dropping. The 55-year-old singer shocked fans by kissing both her male and female backup dancers mid-show, just months after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. Kicking off the ceremony with a slowed-down rendition of Dance Again, she transitioned into a high-energy medley of this year's biggest hits. But it was her kiss during Lose Control by Teddy Swims that stole the night, instantly sparking comparisons to Madonna's iconic VMA stunts. Some fans accused J.Lo of chasing headlines post-breakup, while others joked she just misses the Diddy-era drama. She ended the fiery set with Kendrick Lamar tributes Not Like Us and TV Off, sealing her status as pop's most daring diva.

‘I Shouldn't Have Gone': Jagmeet Singh Apologises To Drake After Kendrick Concert
Last Updated: Jagmeet Singh publicly apologised to Drake for attending a Kendrick Lamar show in Toronto after Drake called him a 'goof.' The most intense dispute in modern rap history has erupted in recent years, leading to several legal lawsuits and a stunning uprising against their mutual record label. Drake is most likely not feeling too good after Kendrick Lamar received a lot of love from his hometown of Toronto during the Compton rapper's co-headlining performances there last week alongside SZA. He is, thus, venting his frustration on the New Democratic Party's former federal leader, Jagmeet Singh, who was spotted at one of Lamar's performances. The former federal NDP leader apologised late Sunday night only hours after Drake shared a screenshot of a private Instagram message to Singh in which the rapper labelled the politician a 'goof." Drake merely wrote, 'You're a goof," to the politician in his most recent message. Previous messages included a thank-you note for Drake's follow in 2019 and since-deleted stories Singh had previously posted about Drake. Images of Singh during the performance began to circulate online by Sunday night. Singh quickly apologised for the comments and explained on social media. Writing on his personal Instagram story, he said: 'I went for SZA, not Kendrick, I was born in this city, I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all. For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick." canadian politics are not real why are drake and jagmeet singh fighting — Liz ✿ | lime skittle (@ElizabethRenzie) June 16, 2025 Lamar led a show in Toronto last week alongside SZA, his first in Drake's city since their high-profile dispute began. These were the only Toronto shows in their Grand National Tour. It is not known which night Singh attended Lamar's show. The audience appeared to be quite receptive, pleading for Lamar to perform an encore of his popular diss song 'Not Like Us' as well as giving it a two-minute ovation. Drake singled out Singh and said nothing else about the performances or Toronto's affection for Lamar. The former coworkers-turned-foes have been embroiled in a highly visible conflict for more than ten years, beginning with Lamar's public taunts of Drake in 2013. The altercation became far more intense last year when both released diss tracks, including Lamar's Grammy-winning song 'Not Like Us.' Drake and fellow Toronto rapper Smiley released a new song on Friday while Lamar performed for the Toronto audiences. He notably maintains his moniker as 'the 6ix God," a reference to Toronto residents referring to the city as 'the 6ix" in the new song.
