Jennifer Lopez slammed for ‘desperate’ stunt on stage at the American Music Awards
Some said she was 'trying to stay relevant'.
Jennifer Lopez has been slammed by some for ‘trying to stay relevant’ after kissing her back-up dancers at the American Music Awards.
Overnight the 55-year-old-singer hosted this year’s awards, which were held in Las Vegas.
Kicking off the night, J-Lo performed a six-minute medley of 23 songs by the other artists nominated – including Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso, Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club and Beyonce’s Texas Hold ‘Em.
However, during the medley, she also snogged a male dancer and then a female dancer.
Soon after, comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish appeared on stage and addressed the moment.
‘How cool is it to have a total superstar like J.Lo hosting the AMAs?’ the 45-year-old declared.

‘Our host has just danced to 23 hits in six minutes. Just from that opening number alone, Jenny from the Block has got all her steps in for the day, and she got all her kisses in.
‘Save a dancer for me, J-Lo. Damn! You ain’t the only one out here single,’ she added before announcing the winner for the Favourite R&B Song category.
Despite Tiffany singing J-Lo’s praises, some viewers made it clear they thought it was too much.
