 Jennifer Lopez  wasn’t always known as J.Lo. The Jenny from the Block singer shared the origin of her iconic nickname during Tuesday’s episode of World of Dance.

The performer revealed to her fellow judges that rapper Heavy D was the one who gave her the moniker back when she was dating Sean “Diddy” Combs. “J.Lo came from Heavy D,” she admitted. “The rapper.

He would come into the studio when I was making my first album, and he would always call me Jenny Lo. And I was dating Puffy at the time, and so, Puffy and Jennifer Lo, or Jenny Lo, was showing up in records.

Like, they were talking about us in records and stuff like that.” She added, “So I was like, ‘I’m going to name the album J.Lo.’”A-Rod shares candid new photo of his and J.Lo’s.
