Earlier this week, Jennifer Lopez gained a lot of attention after she deleted all the content on her Instagram account, and replaced her profile picture with a black image. The singer and actress, 53, is usually an active user of the platform, so the total blackout came as a surprise to fans.
It wasn’t just her Instagram that got the blackout treatment; all of her social media accounts, including Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook had the same black profile picture, and posts were removed. The move has sparked a lot of speculation as to what it could mean, especially if it could mean new music is on the way.
