The real reason J. Lo’s new album flopped: ‘No one cares about Bennifer anymore’

nypost.com:

with no explanation after Lopez previously announced three additional shows in Miami, Toronto and New York in February. A source told The Post that the tour had added those dates due to popular demand.A veteran music industry insider, who has worked with some of the biggest stars in music, told The Post: “If they’re canceling tour dates with someone at her level, it’s bad, very bad.” “There are only a few people who can still draw the crowds after decades, like Springsteen or Madonna,” the music industry insider said.

And in what must be a painful blow, residents of The Bronx — where Lopez, 54, proudly grew up, as chronicled in her 2002 hit song “Jenny From the Block” — are viciously mocking a clip of her from the “The Is Me Now: A Love Story” companion movie, in which she lets down her hair and the gym and says the look reminds her of being “16 in The Bronx [and] running up and down the block.” “Real Bronxite here, straight from South Bronx,” one user claimed in a TiTok video. “JLO, we did not run up and down the block looking like that.

Even as a kid.”“Jennifer hasn’t had a big hit since 2007’s ‘On the Floor.’ The younger generation isn’t really checking for her.

Other than her diehard fans, no one was looking for a new J. Lo album, which she says herself in the documentary,” the source who knows Lopez’s family said. “The project was a complete misfire.”Lopez has said she put $20 million of her own money into the star-studded Amazon Prime musical “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.” Amazon paid to buy the film, and the accompanying documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” — all unpacking her rollercoaster search for love, and rekindled romance with Affleck, who she finally wed in 2021, 18 years after their first.
