The Academy argued that JLo took Latin culture to another level by touring extensively

After almost 30 years of uninterrupted career, Puerto Rican-born actress Jennifer Lopez was recognized as the most influential Latin artist in history by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States, the body in charge of awarding the Grammy Awards.

This is due to the countless successes she has had in film, but also because she remains relevant in pop music, as her songs continue to be among the most popular on music platforms and YouTube, with millions of views, even though she has been harshly criticized throughout her career.

Why did Jennifer Lopez get the recognition?
The Academy argued its recognition by pointing out that JLo took Latin culture to another level by touring extensively, with the support of fans.

In her concerts, Jennifer Lopez showcases her talent, not only as a singer, but also as an actress, dancer and Grammy-nominated singer. For this reason, “Jennifer Lopez is arguably the most influential Latin artist of all time,” the Academy said in awarding the recognition on its Instagram account.

In addition, it recognized that JLo has a stratospheric career that has broken boundaries, elevating Latin music and culture around the world and has established her as one of the most important entertainment icons of all time.

Likewise, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States shared a video highlighting the singer’s career and the reason why she deserved this recognition.

In addition, after her recent marriage to actor Ben Affleck they are recognized as the couple of the year in Hollywood, after a pause of 20 years for this romance to reach marriage. Therefore, in this 2022 they got married twice. But they are also still in the spotlight, as rumors of a possible separation have arisen since the wedding, after paparazzi mentioned that the actor had left the family mansion because he had promised to quit smoking and never fulfilled.

However, the publication provoked a lot of criticism from JLo’s detractors and fans of other great Latin luminaries, such as the Colombian singer Shakira, arguing that she has more songs in Spanish than the Bronx diva, as well as questioning the fact that Lopez has not won a Grammy award to date.

There were even some purist fans, who referred to other figures such as Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan, considered pioneer legends of Latin music, and considered that they should receive these awards.
