Recently, Lopez accepted the generation award at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards. She got emotional while giving her acceptance speech.
The "Hustlers" star went about her thank-yous list differently, specifically calling out people who "lied" to her and those who told her she couldn't be an actress.
"And since you cannot create truth unless you’ve really lived it, I have a different kind of list of thank-yous tonight," the "Let's Get Loud" singer said. "I want to thank all the people who gave me this life. I want to thank the people who gave me joy. And the ones who broke my heart. The ones who were true and the ones who lied to me. I want to thank true love. And I want to thank the way that I lied to myself, because that’s how I knew that I had to grow."
"I want to thank disappointment and failure for teaching me to be strong and my children for teaching me to love," she wrote. "I want to thank all the people who told me to my face or when I wasn’t in the room that I couldn’t do this. I really don’t think I could have done it without you! And I know I couldn’t have done it without the fans."
Lopez got her start in the music industry when she released her first single in 1999. She is known for hit songs such as, "Jenny From The Block" and "On The Floor."
