JENNIFER Lopez’s fans think she could be secretly “broke” after she rebranded her tour.
The pop star, 54, has renamed her nationwide tour from This Is Me… Now: The Tour to This Is Me… JLo Live with more of a focus on her greatest hits.

In February, Jennifer announced she would be going on her first nationwide tour in five years to support her new album This Is Me… Now.
According to Variety, she canceled seven shows in August in Cleveland, Raleigh, Nashville, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans and Houston due to low ticket sales.
Sources previously told Billboard the dates were scrapped “due to routing issues but that new shows have been added and will be announced soon.”
The rebrand is expected to attract more fans of her older songs who didn’t connect with This Is Me… Now, according to Variety.
The old tour posters show Jennifer posing in a dirty stained vest with an explosion behind her, while the new artwork captures her looking glamorous in a lacy beaded dress.
The updated poster with the new tour name has been spotted at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Last month, Jennifer struggled to sell tickets for her tour and faced backlash over her high ticket prices.
The U.S. Sun can confirm via Ticketmaster many of the tour stops still have plenty of seats available – sometimes even whole rows and sections.
Fans are claiming Jennifer revamped the tour to try to make back the $20million she reportedly spent financing her album, her narrative musical film This Is Me…Now: A Love Story and her documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
“Estimated net worth and what she actually has are two different things,” one user wrote on Reddit.
“I’m not saying she’s broke but I heard she spent $20M of her own money to finance her movie, tour and album.
“Her tour sales did very poorly. Seems like she wants to try and make some of that money back. She doesn’t even need to put out another album/tour if she has all that money sitting in the bank. If she had money like that, she’d take the L and move on.”
“I’m guessing, yes, she is hurting for money,” another added.
“A reminder that fame doesn’t always equal $$$,” a third commented.
“I think a lot of people think this is the case but I’m sure mannyyy famous people build a lifestyle they can’t keep up with and are indebted to trying to maintain it which is why some celebs get older and still don’t stop. They’re just like us lol.”
“The amount of her own money she used for that movie that everyone seem to hate. yeah, I can see her trying to make a money off of this whole thing,” yet another user claimed.
Jennifer’s films were released on Amazon’s Prime Video in February, in conjunction with the album, which dropped on Valentine’s Day.

The album debuted at 38 on the Billboard 200 album charts.
Her musical This Is Me… Now: A Love Story featured famous faces in cameo roles like her husband Ben Affleck, Post Malone, Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, Fat Joe, and Jane Fonda.
The high-production movie was inspired by the Let’s Get Loud singer’s life, with songs from the album woven into it.
Critics slated the project when it was released in February.
“This is the longest, most boring, narcissistic music video I have ever seen,” one said at the time on an online thread.
“The money she spent on this overindulgent production of nonsense could have been used to help those in need,” another wrote.
