American singer Jennifer Lopez performed at a concert in Jeddah during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend, just 80 km from Makkah, sparking a wave of criticism on social media. Many religious figures and users argued that hosting a pop concert featuring dance and revealing attire so close to Islam’s holiest city was disrespectful to religious sentiments.

Critics emphasized Saudi Arabia’s role as the guardian of Islamic sacred sites. Lopez, 55, arrived at the event in a bold pink catsuit and performed popular hits like On the Floor and Let’s Get Loud at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. The concert featured international stars like Usher and Major Lazer, alongside Arab artists such as Hisham Abbas and Hamid El-Shaeri.
