\n\t\u201cWhen you\u2019re born in New York is when you\u2019re really a New Yorker,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat did I just say? Do I need to say it? See, this is very New York right here. I said what I said. I meant it. I\u2019m glad this was my first take. Jenny been the block forever, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe take has landed with mixed reception online with some social media users agreeing with Lopez while others have criticized her opinion by pointing out that New York is a city that has for generations welcomed immigrants. Even current New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was born outside the country. \u201cThis is one of the dumbest takes ever for a city of immigrants. And one of the most welcoming cities in the world,\u201d posted one user on X.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s not the first time Lopez has gone viral for a New York take. Two years ago, a Vogue clip blew up that featured Lopez recalling her \u201cgo-to bodega order.\u201d Said Lopez: \u201cMy go-to order at the bodega was ham and cheese on a roll with an orange drink. If you know, you know.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tAs for her appearance on Rahma\u2019s SubwayTakes, Lopez relayed another take: \u201cSelf love should be a subject in school from kindergarten all the way through college.\u201d<\/p>\n
