Edebiri and Lopez made up when they both appeared on "SNL" after "The Bear" star called JLo's musical career a "scam."

When Ayo Edebiri came after Jennifer Lopez's singing career in 2020, little did she know the she'd be sharing the same stage with her four years later. That's called A.) Hollywood, Baby! and B.) something comedians love, except maybe at the time that it's happening to them: irony.

But according to the Emmy-winner, it's not like Ryan Murphy was lurking in the wings of Studio 8H for his next installment of Feud: Ayo and JLo. Because at the end of the day, JLo is still JLo, and that's not a fair fight in any universe.

"That would be like Mr. Bean and Mick Jagger beefing,” Edebiri told Vanity Fair, “and I’m obviously Mr. Bean. She’s J.Lo!”

Edebiri hosted Saturday Night Live on February 3 and lo and behold, the musical guest was Jennifer "Love Don't Cost a Thing-Thing-Thing-*dance break*" Lopez. Leading up to Edebiri's stint on SNL, comments she made on a 2020 episode of the Scam Goddess podcast came back to chuckle malevolently in her periphery.

On that episode, the Bottoms star referred to Lopez's singing career as "one long scam."

“I think she thinks that she’s still good, even though she’s not singing for most of these songs,” Edebiri said at the time. “A lot of the write-ups of the songs will be like, ‘J.Lo didn’t have time to make it to the studio.’ Like, ‘J.Lo was busy.’ Doing what? Not singing, obviously.”

Those are the not untrue words of a young, hungry comedian but with a Bear-like taste of success, and with JLo in her general vicinity, Edebiri womanned up and apologized to the superstar before the show.

"She actually came to my dressing room, and she was very sweet," Lopez told EW back in February. "She was like, 'Listen, I was young. I was on this thing. I said these things, and I am so sorry.' She had seen my soundcheck, and she's like, 'You are amazing. I'm watching you out there singing and doing your thing. And I'm sorry.' She was very gracious," Lopez said.

The SNL host went on to poke some fun at her gaffe in a game show sketch, "Why'd You Say It," in which Edebiri's contestant, Annie, admits, "It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast, and you don’t consider the impact because you’re 24 and stupid. But I think I speak for everyone when I say from now on, we’re going to be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online."

Lopez, for her part, never thought much of the shade — perhaps having grown used to it by people far more adept at hurling it — telling the young actress that everyone says things they might regret eventually.

"I said, ' Listen, I get it,'" she adds. "We all do things at times — by the way, you're entitled to your opinion — but also, we all do things at times that we don't know are going to come back and haunt us later. I get it. It's fine. I didn't make a big deal about it."

"She was so emotional," Lopez continued. "I just wanted to let her off the hook. I was like, 'It's fine. Don't worry about it.' But she really wanted to make amends in that way, and I really appreciated that. And we went on to have a great show."

Sounds like everyone's best friends now since Edebiri confirmed to VF that Lopez "was very chill and nice about it."

So consider the Mr. Bean and Mick Jagger beef officially squashed.
