Jennifer Lopez tweets, then deletes, ‘All Lives Matter’


A politically charged tweet by Jennifer Lopez is sparking some serious dis-chord on social media.


The pop diva outraged a slew of fans Tuesday when she tweeted — then deleted — a post featuring the hashtag "All Lives Matter."


The controversial tweet — a clear reference to the Black Lives Matter movement — was only online for a few minutes, but that's all it took to upset a wave of her followers.


"Seeing Jennifer Lopez tweet All Lives Matter is extremely disappointing," wrote user Shane Avery. "Guess she thought so too.....as the tweet was deleted."


Others implied that Lopez was being a hypocrite and accused her of appropriating black culture in her music.


"Did all lives matter when you stole music out from under countless black women?" wrote @RicheyCollazo.


And some were simply surprised that the "On The Floor" artist would tweet something so polarizing.


"Ugh. Now Jennifer Lopez is on that All Lives Matter foolishness, too?" wrote @unicornrainbows. "*Sighs deeply.*"


The tweet was meant to commemorate Lopez's performance of her new unity anthem "Love Make the World Go Round" on Monday's episode of the "Today" show alongside "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.


The two stars wrote the song in honor of the victims of last month's horrific Orlando nightclub massacre. A group of survivors and family members of victims in the attack were present in the audience at the performance.


Lopez, 46, has not addressed the deleted tweet or its ensuing backlash.


A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment.
