The ghost of social media past has come back to haunt Ayo Edebiri.
The comedian and Saturday’s host of “Saturday Night Live” apologized mid-show for certain comments she had made about Jennifer Lopez who was also on the show as its musical guest.
Edebiri’s remarks got here during a game show sketch with Kenan Thompson who forced Edebiri, 28, and the opposite contestants to reckon with past comments made on social media.
“Okay. We get it. It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments only for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast, and also you don’t consider the impact since you’re 24 and silly,” the “Big Mouth” star said in the course of the sketch.
“But I believe I speak for everybody once I say any longer, we’re going to be rather a lot more thoughtful about what we post online,” Edebiri added.
The Post reached out to Edebiri for comment.
The apology comes after the “Bottoms” actress called Lopez, 54, a “scam” during an appearance on the podcast “Scam Goddess” in 2020.
“Today I used to be actually desirous about certainly one of my favorite scams of all time because J.Lo is acting at the Super Bowl Halftime Show,” she said to host Laci Mosley.
“Her whole profession is one long scam,” Edebiri added to which Mosley, 32, agreed adding the “Jenny from the Block” couldn’t sing.
“Well, that’s the thing,” Edebiri stated. “She thinks she’s on multiple tracks, however it’s not her.”
During her time on the podcast, Edebiri — who recently won a Primetime Emmy Award for her breakout role in Hulu’s “The Bear” — admitted she was fascinated when allegations that Lopez used ghost singers in her music first arose.
“A whole lot of the write-ups of the songs will likely be like, ‘J.Lo didn’t have time to make it to the studio,’ like, J.Lo was busy,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Doing what?’ Not singing, obviously.”
One R&B star named Ashanti has previously claimed that Lopez attempted to pass off her reference track vocals as her own voice within the songs “I’m Real” and “Ain’t it Funny.”
Neith Lopez nor Edebiri have publically addressed the comments made on the podcast.
In a promo for the show released on Friday, the singer and comedy star seemed to have made up after Lopez turned to Edebiri and said: “I’m really excited. I really like your show.”
“I really like your all the pieces,” Edebiri responds.
The promo caused several online fans to slam the “Clone High” star.
“Ayo has a natural flair for comedy,” one laughed.
“‘I really like your all the pieces,’” Ayo being a scammer,” one other chuckled.
A 3rd screamed, “AYO WE HEARD THE PODCAST! YOU’RE not fooling anyone.”
