Jennifer Lynn Lopez (born July 24, 1969), also known as J. Lo, is an American actress, author, fashion designer, dancer, producer, and singer. She became interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry following a minor role in the 1986 film My Little Girl, to the dismay of her Puerto Rican parents, who believed that it was an unrealistic career route for a Hispanic. Lopez gained her first regular high-profile job as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color in 1991, where she remained a regular until she decided to pursue an acting career in 1993. She received her first leading role in the Selena biopic of the same name in 1997. Lopez became the first Latina actress to earn over US$1 million for a role the following year, with the film Out of Sight. She ventured into the music industry in 1999 with her debut studio album, On the 6.
With the simultaneous release of her second studio album J.Lo and her film The Wedding Planner in 2001, Lopez became the first person to have a number one album and film in the same week. Her 2002 remix album, J to tha L–O! The Remixes, became the first in history to debut at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, while her fifth studio album, Como Ama una Mujer (2007), received the highest first-week sales for a Spanish album in the United States. With past record sales of over 60 million and a cumulative film gross of over US$2 billion, Lopez is regarded as the most influential Hispanic performer in the United States, as well as its highest paid Latin entertainer. Along with Pitbull and Claudia Leitte, she recorded "We Are One (Ole Ola)", which served as the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Additionally, Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande's single "Problem", which peaked at number two while "Fancy" was number one; Azalea joined The Beatles as the only acts to rank at numbers one and two simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 entries.

In 1991, at the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo The B.G.'z, alongside fellow New Orleans-based rapper Lil' Doogie. In 1996, Lil Wayne formed the southern hip hop group Hot Boys, with his Cash Money label-mates Juvenile, Young Turk and Lil' Doogie (who now goes by B.G.). Hot Boys debuted with Get It How U Live!, that same year. Most of the group's success came with their platinum-selling album Guerrilla Warfare (1999) and the 1999 single "Bling Bling". Along with being the flagship artist of Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own label imprint, Young Money Entertainment, which he founded in 2005.
Lil Wayne's solo debut album Tha Block Is Hot (1999), was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His subsequent albums, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), went on to be certified gold. Wayne reached higher popularity with his fourth album Tha Carter (2004), which was led by the single "Go D.J." and his appearance on Destiny's Child's Top 10 single "Soldier", that same year. The album was followed by Tha Carter II (2005), as well as several mixtapes and collaborations throughout 2006 and 2007. Wayne gained more prominence with his sixth album Tha Carter III (2008), which became his most successful album to date, with first-week sales of over one million copies in the United States. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and includes the hit singles "Lollipop", "A Milli" and "Got Money".
He’s all right
He’s all wrong
He’s a player
He’s a dog
He’s my friend
He’s my foe
I just can’t leave him
I can’t go
I got my reasons
I got my pride
I got these kids
We got these ties
Had this love
Had these dreams
Falling apart at the seams
He’s my man when we’re at home
And it can’t hurt if I don’t know
All his secrets all his lies
I just keep pushing ‘em out my mind
I wish that everybody would stop judging
Pointing fingers its cutting
My heart is broken
And no better, feeling so bad
I gotta make decisions
I’m strong but who am I kidding
I’ll be okay
But this love is tearing me in half
Nobody wants to be the one breaking up
I’m down on my knees and praying for his love
I’m in love
I’m still in love
I just don’t think that it’s enough
I can feel it getting colder
I’m afraid of starting over
He makes me feel like a child
He makes me happy when he smiles
He makes me sad
Makes me mad
Want to give him all I have
And I have tried to treat him good
Show support like I should
Did my part, he’s my heart
And I’ve been faithful from the start
He’s my man when we’re at home
And it can’t hurt if I don’t know
All his secrets all his lies
I just keep pushing ‘em out my mind
I wish that everybody would stop judging
Pointing fingers its cutting
My heart is broken
And no better, feeling so bad
I gotta make decisions
I’m strong but who am I kidding
I’ll be okay
But this love is tearing me in half
Nobody wants to be the one breaking up
I’m down on my knees and praying for his love
I’m in love
I’m still in love
I just don’t think that it’s enough
I can feel it getting colder
I’m afraid of starting over
To save this life
We built together
We need another chance
It’s like my whole life
And my existence
He holds in his hands
Nobody wants to be the one breaking up
I’m down on my knees and praying for his love
I’m in love
I’m still in love
I just don’t think that it’s enough
I can feel it getting colder
