Jennifer Lopez’s decision to cancel a private concert for a Cyprus hotel could cost her millions, according to reports.
The singer was due to perform at the newly opened Cratos Premium hotel and casino on the island.
However, after thousands of people signed a petition begging her not to come because of Turkey’s invasion of Cyprus in 1974, the singer cancelled her appearance at the hotel located in the Turkish sector.

The hotel management is now threatening to sue for breach of contract, a representative reportedly claiming the owners of the property were prepared to ask for US $40 million in damages.
A publicist for the singer confirmed the cancellation was political.
“Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse. After a full review of the relevant circumstances in Cyprus, it was the decision of management to withdraw from the appearance. This was a team decision that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the region."
