Iconic singer Jennifer Lopez brought her daughter, Emme, on stage during her legendary Super Bowl halftime show featuring fellow Latina, Shakira.
However, a number of fans believe that JLo and Emme took a swipe at President Trump during their performance.
Mid-performance, Jenny From The Block’s daughter, 11, graced the stage to help her mum perform Born In The USA while Jennifer paraded around in the Puerto Rican flag which could be reversed into an American flag, made of feathers.
Jennifer was born in The Bronx, New York, to Puerto Rican parents but is never shy of her Latino heritage.
Puerto Rico is an island in the Caribbean Sea and has been an American territory since 1898 but is classed as an “unincorporated territory” meaning the island is controlled by the US government but is not a US state.

Despite Puerto Rican’s being US citizens, they have no voting power in Congress, meaning Puerto Rican citizens cannot vote for the US president.
Several people who tuned into the famous halftime show performance claim that the performance of Bruce Springsteen’s hit was a personal swipe at Trump.
One Twitter user tweeted: “Loved the Latin flavour, loved Shakira’s belly dancing and especially loved when you came out with Puerto Rican flag singing Born in the USA!”

While a second went on to say: “Interesting shade by J-Lo and her daughter as they sang Born in The USA while J-Lo was draped in a Puerto Rico flag. Great way to rep!”
A third added: “@JLo having her beautiful daughter sing Born in the USA mixed with Let’s Get Loud while she is draped in a Puerto Rican and American Flag is such a powerful statement that many probably didn’t even notice. Puerto Rican’s are Americans too!!!”
Most, however, praised Jennifer for bringing out her daughter who she shares with Marc Anthony.

One fan gushed: “JLo & Shakira killed the halftime show but @JLo daughter Emme was the true star #SuperBowlHalftimeShow #EmmeLopez”.
A second went on to say: “THAT WAS HER DAUGHTER EMME??? OMG! What a talent just like her momma. I keep thinking she’s still 3 yrs old. [sic]”
Celeb pal, Kim Kardashian-West added: “Can we talk about how amazing @ JLo ‘s daughter Emme sang and on such a huge stage like the Super Bowl”
