Sean "Diddy" Combs reunites with Jennifer Lopez and beau Alex Rodriguez in his Instagram Live "Dance-a-thon," Sunday, April 12.
The entertainment mogul reconnects with J.Lo as Elvis Crespo's "Suavemente" plays in the background, with Diddy greeting "how 'ya doin' mami?"
As the music continued playing, both artists started dancing. J. Lo remarked on Diddy's moves, "I probably taught you that."
Shortly after, Lopez's fiancé Alex Rodriguez entered the dance-a-thon, and the couple shared their Easter activities, including an Easter egg hunt, before expressing their gratitude and recognition to the medical frontliners working in the middle of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Jennifer Lopez then explained that it's about dedication, being committed to something, and inspiring other people and said that she "can't think of anybody right now who's doing that better than the healthcare workers."
A-Rod then explained that though sometimes athletes and entertainers are considered heroes, the healthcare workers are "the real heroes" protecting us and "doing God's work."
J.Lo then shared that his baseball star fiancé was Diddy's "biggest fan from the Bad Boy era." Adding that Diddy and fellow rapper-songwriter Mase are Yankee shortstop's heroes, saying that "anything we do, it's like 'Put on Puffy and Mase.'"
As Rodriguez requested a song featuring both Diddy and Mase, the host of the Instagram Live dance-a-thon put on his 1997 award-winning single "Been Around the World." This music set the party mood for Diddy, A-Rod, J.Lo, and the close to a hundred thousand people watching live at that point. Diddy's sons also joined the dance-a-thon with the engaged couple.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are among the celebrities who took the time to appear in Diddy's fundraiser. The star-studded guests in the Easter IG Live include DJ Khaled, Lizzo, Kelly Rowland, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, LeBron James, Drake, and Shaquille O'Neal.
The entertainment mogul partnered with Team Love and Direct Relief to help healthcare workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Diddy's star-studded dance-a-thon is the latest effort to muster support for the medical workers in the frontline against the highly contagious disease. Last March 29, Elton John also hosted a star-studded "iHeart Living Room Concert for America," which was a partnership between Fox and iHeartMedia. The living room concert featured Billie Joe Armstrong, Alicia Keys, H.E.R, Billie Eilish, and more, raising about 8 million dollars.
The World Health Organization and Global Citizen are set to launch a fundraising event later this week, April 18, titled "One World: Together at Home" to be curated by Lady Gaga and set to feature performances from tenor Andrea Bocelli, Alanis Morissette, John Legend, Paul McCartney, and more. The Lady Gaga-curated fundraiser will be hosted by talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert together with the cast of historical children's show "Sesame Street."
Meanwhile, BET, the leading content-provider for the African-American community, is also slated to have their benefit special "Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort" on April 22. It will be hosted by TV personality Terrence J, actress Regina Hall, and singer-actress Kelly Rowland and will include appearances from Chance the Rapper, DJ Khaled, Fantasia Barrino, Charlie Wilson, and Kirk Franklin.
