Is Sterling K. Brown subtly throwing shade at his Atlas co-star Jennifer Lopez? Fans think so!
Lopez's incessant talking about her background is probably no longer sitting well with her co-stars, according to netizens.
In a clip shared by user @unilad on TikTok, Simu Liu asks Lopez about her favorite comfort meal.
Lopez responds, "I grew up- I'm Puerto Rican- so I like rice and beans and like, chicken."
Just as she mentions her Puerto Rican heritage, Brown jokingly interjects, "Are you Puerto Rican? Get outta here!"

Fans in the comment section of the TikTok video have speculated that this playful exchange might be a subtle dig at Lopez, who frequently discusses her background and upbringing.
One said: "Love Sterling that was funny. She's probably mentioned being Puerto Rican millions of times."
Another joked, ""What. Did. Jennifer. Do. To. Sterling?!"
Some repeatedly said they like the fact that Sterling is "messy" in his reactions.
"Sterling is so messy with the "are you Puerto Rico " comment," one said.
Given that Lopez actually answered "Yes, I am!" made some fans think she did not find Sterling funny.
One said, "I know she was heated after he said that."
He also began speaking over her, switching to Spanish in the process.
Another clip shared by user @apnewsentertainment depicts the duo discussing Lopez's alleged attempts to "slow down."

Brown, did not seem convinced. #jenniferlopez #jlo #sterlingkbrown #atlasnetflix original sound - AP Entertainment
During the conversation, Lopez mentions her recent efforts to "slow down more," prompting Brown to interject with a thoughtful "Hmmm."
Given Lopez's busy schedule with her latest projects, was Brown teasing his co-star's remarks?
"This is you pared down?" Brown queries, to which Lopez responds, "This is actually me pared down." This exchange may allude to Lopez's project, This Is Me... Now.
