Jennifer Lopez has come under fire for revealing that her twins, Max and Emme, got into all five colleges they applied to and received scholarships.

The ‘On The Floor’ singer, 56, who shares the 18-year-old boys with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, shared the news in a recent interview with Extra, to promote her upcoming movie, Office Romance.

J-Lo revealed that the twins have officially graduated from high school, before proudly sharing their upcoming plans.

The mother-of-two gushed: "I am so proud that they set goals for themselves. They all got into all five colleges that they applied to.

“They both got a scholarship to each, you know, one scholarship to each. Each one got a scholarship to a school. And I just felt like they work so hard. "

She added: "I watched how hard they worked, from the time they were like... when school gets serious in the fifth grade, and they just worked hard.

“They have ADHD, and so they need to learn differently, and there were struggles and times, and I'm just so proud of them because they did what they said they were going to do, and they're good people."

However, some people have taken issue with Max and Emme getting scholarships, as schools often have a limited amount and their celebrity ‘parents have enough money to pay for their education’.

It’s important to note, though, that not all monetary scholarships are awarded due to need, and some are instead merit-based for high-achieving students.

J-Lo opted not to reveal the details of her twins' scholarships.

Reacting to the admission, one X user brutally wrote: “Wow… this is why rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer. They don’t deserve that scholarship.”

While a second agreed: “Scholarships for trillionaires, while so many deserving ones wait in line.”

A third penned, “Hope they are giving the scholarships to a needy student! Scholarship money is not plentiful!”

While a fourth chimed in with: “Yet everyday people are struggling to pay for college but all of these celebrities' kids get scholarships when they can freely pay for 100’s of kids to go to college.”

A fifth added: “I wonder why they applied for a scholarship. That is usually for those who need assistance. Both their parents have enough money to pay for their education.”

And a sixth quipped: “Many schools have a limited amount of scholarships. So with wealthy parents, regardless of merit, they shouldn’t accept them. Someone who prides herself on being ‘Jenny from the block’ should know others need the $$. There isn’t an endless supply of money.”

While a seventh wrote: “Got scholarships… she’s rich enough to afford their tuitions and ten other kids. Why not give scholarships to students who can’t afford college?”

Tyla has contacted a representative for Lopez for comment.
