The Bear star revealed how the "On The Floor" singer reacted to her apology backstage at Saturday Night Live after a podcast clip resurfaced where she called Jennifer's career "a scam."
Ayo explained to Vanity Fair in an article published May 21, "She was very chill and nice about it."
But the 28-year-old was also shocked by the amount of coverage the debacle received since she didn't see herself and Jennifer on a level playing field. "That would be like Mr. Bean and Mick Jagger beefing," Ayo explained. "I'm obviously Mr. Bean. She's J.Lo!"
The comments—which were made in 2020 when the Bottoms actress was on the Scam Goddess podcast—resurfaced not long after she and Jennifer were announced as the respective hosts and musical guests on SNL in February. While backstage, Ayo profusely apologized for her previous comments, which Jennifer appreciated.
"She was mortified and very sweet," Jennifer told Variety in February. "She came to my dressing room and apologized with tears in her eyes, saying how terrible it was that she had said those things."
"She felt really badly and loved my performance because we had just done my soundcheck and she actually got to hear me perform," the 54-year-old continued. "She was just like, 'I'm so f--king sorry, it was so awful of me.'"
But as for the"Jenny From The Block" singer, Ayo's comments didn't actually bother her.
"It's funny," she reflected. "I've heard similar things said about me throughout my career, so it really didn't affect me."
