Nearly a decade ago, Jennifer Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, made her feelings about hip hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs clear, and those feelings are once again in the spotlight. Following Diddy’s recent arrest on charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, a 2015 clip has resurfaced Rodriguez’s contempt for the former lovebirds’ claims of a romantic reunion, when the host asked Lopez, “I could always see you getting back with Puffy.”
JLo’s mom brutally dismisses Diddy’s reconciliation claims
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is now facing serious charges such as rape, trafficking and assault, will go down in history as another infamous man. However, before this scandal, the once famous music legend had several high-profile relationships, including one with star Jennifer Lopez.
Lopez’s mother Rodriguez previously ruled out any possibility of a reconciliation between her daughter and Combs, who dated from 1999 to 2001. Her comments, made during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show in 2015, came in response to Williams’ suggestion that Lopez and Combs could reunite. Lopez, while flattered by the idea, appeared unconcerned.

In the video, Lopez recalled Williams’ previous suggestion, indicating that she had heard it before. Williams balked at the idea, saying that they should be together forever again. Lopez pointed to her mother, who was sitting right in front of her in the audience seat, to get everyone’s attention. With a serious expression, Rodriguez made an apparent gesture of disapproval, seeming to mouth “It’s done.”
Lopez then tried to lighten the mood by commenting on the audience’s enthusiastic reaction, saying, “First of all, it’s crazy that everybody came alive! They all had something to say.” Williams acknowledged the crowd’s opinion, to which Lopez jokingly agreed, “Yeah! It’s fun for me.”
“Okay, so there’s no Puffy,” Williams eventually admitted, to which Lopez confirmed, “There’s no Puffy.”
