Who does not know about the famous kiss that happened between Spears and Madonna? It is not the first time Jennifer Lopez has claimed that she was supposed to be a part of it.

Everyone denying @jlo was supposed to be part of the Britney/Madonna kiss performance….y'all were not on the fan boards in 2003 like I was! I remember there were pap pics of Britney and Jennifer leaving Madonna's house in separate cars, too. https://t.co/2365R9XuTU

Apparently, the Boy Next Door actress is not lying, as there is enough evidence on the internet to support her. While a lot of Twitterati were against the singer’s claims, some of her fans took it personally and came forward with their support.
There is also a very old piece of news where it has been made clear that the 53-year-old actress was going to be a part of this iconic performance. However, she could not join them, and she has made it clear why. “I was filming a movie in Canada, and we had met—me, [Madonna], and Britney—to do it at her home, and then I just couldn’t get off the film,” she recalled.
The performance was going to be on the theme of a wedding, and three of the singers were going to perform songs by Madonna. However, JLo was later replaced by Say Something singer Christina Aguilera, who turned out to be magnificent on the stage.
