Lopez: 'Absurd' to Say She's Racist
.c The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Jennifer Lopez said it's ``hurtful'' to suggest that she's a racist because of an epithet she sings in a remix of her new song ``I'm Real.''
Lopez performed the original version of the song in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza on NBC's ``Today'' show Friday morning. She's drawn criticism for the remix by rapper Ja Rule, which includes the ``n-word.''
``For anyone to think or suggest that I'm racist is really absurd and hurtful to me. The use of the word in the song - it was actually written by Ja Rule - it was not meant to be hurtful to anybody,'' she said during an interview between songs.
``I don't want to give it too much energy. I'm here to perform for the fans and that's what I'm going to do.''
The 30-year-old singer and actress said that despite the rumors, she's not pregnant. And when asked whether she's marrying her boyfriend, dancer Cris Judd, she smiled and said, ``I guess you'll just have to wait and see.''
