Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez brought their feud to Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards.
Lopez, sitting in the highly visible front row of the theater, chose to scroll through her phone instead of watching Carey’s performance of “Infinity.” At the end of the song, J.Lo, looked bored, and clapped politely.
The pair’s feud goes back to 1998, when Sony had both Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez record the same song.
in 2000 Tommy Mottola (Sony executive and Carey’s ex-husband) leaked to Lopez that Carey was planning on sampling the disco song “Firecracker” on an upcoming single, “Loverboy.” Then Lopez and her producers stole the idea and used a “Firecracker” sample on “I’m Real.”
