Earlier this month, record executive Suge Knight claimed that Diddy is responsible for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s high-profile divorce. Lopez had filed for divorce from Ben after two years of marriage, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband, Ojani Noa, has partly blamed embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs for his failed marriage to the “Maid in Manhattan” star.
Noa previously revealed that his ex-wife’s love for media attention also played a part in the end of their short-lived marriage.
Jennifer Lopez and Ojani Noa were married for barely a year and quickly moved on to other people following their separation.
The Singer’s Ex-Husband Blames Diddy For Their Divorce
In an interview with Despierta America, Noa discussed his brief marriage to Lopez, whom he married while she was still a rising star.
According to Page Six, he mentioned that “part of that divorce” was the embattled rapper’s “fault,” seemingly suggesting that Diddy stole Lopez’s attention away when they collaborated on her first album.
The actor said to the outlet, “When Sony came and paid her the millions she got, there was Puffy [Combs], who was going to be one of the producers of several tracks on the first album, On The 6.”
He added, “I was in Los Angeles opening my restaurant, and she was between Miami and New York working on the album.”
While it is unclear if Lopez cheated on Noa with Diddy at any point during their marriage, she began a relationship with the rapper in 1999. The duo eventually split for good in 2001.
Jennifer Lopez’s Ex-Husband Claims Her Love For Media Attention Wrecked Their Marriage
Last month, Noa also claimed that Lopez’s craze for being in the spotlight also played a part in their split.
At the time, he shared that their marriage became very strained after the actress’ “Selena” movie became a success.
“I felt she was [now] really enjoying the media attention,” he told the Daily Mail. “I would say to her: ‘You have to be private. You can’t be real in a relationship if you’re always being photographed.”‘
As their disagreements continued to increase after the film’s success, Noa said he tried to act like things were okay whenever they stepped out in public together.
He added, “I can tell you in my own experience, we would have disagreements in the car and then 20 minutes later, we’d have to sit and pretend everything was fine.”
However, it all became unbearable at some point, and they separated in 1998, barely a year after getting married.
