Diddy a.k.a. P. Diddy made headlines on Tuesday, September 30 after he praised his former girlfriend Jennifer Lopez's booty during an interview and called it "state of art." Lopez is aware of the comments and now she has responded to the praise.

"Thank you, thank you," Lopez reacted to Diddy's remarks that her famous backside is better than Kim Kardashian's. "We spent three years of our lives together, you know almost every single day... as much as he roots for me and as proud as he is of me and of the time we had together, I am just as proud to see what he's done," the "On the Floor" hitmaker told Access Hollywood.

"Seeing him involved in Revolt and all the things that he's done as a businessman and still being so true to his music and his art trying to uplift his community in his own way, and it's the same thing that I try to do and I feel like I learned a lot from him coming up, watching him," the mother of two added.

Lopez only had nice words about the rapper, saying that he helped her at the beginning of her career. "He gave me so many cues and taught me so many things. I'll always be grateful to him for that and I love that he can be so supportive of me so many years later and that there's still so much mutual respect, admiration and love there," she gushed.

In a separate interview with E! News, Lopez shared that her curves were not popular during her early days in the entertainment industry. "When I came out to L.A. from the Bronx and started pursuing my career as a dancer, as an actress, as a performer and singer, I realized that I was different. I was Latina first of all... and then my body wasn't traditional. I was bottom-heavy, small on the top, you know I had thick thighs and people criticized me," the 45-year-old diva recalled.

"Now booty is in fashion, finally, but before it was just, 'You're heavy!' And I was like, 'Wait a minute, there's nothing wrong with me.' I'm a size six... eight... eight on a heavy day and that's OK, that's healthy," she added.
