As she was rising in the 1990s, Lopez was colloquially known as “Jenny from the block,” branding herself as just a girl raised in the Bronx who came from a less privileged childhood and built an empire for herself. The singer doesn’t take the privilege she now has for granted.

“For me even in my own business, I was an artist who has making billions of dollars for other people and not really realizing it, just happy to be in the room,” she said onTODAYof how she started out. “And then I started to realize, like, ‘Wait a minute, I can make my own perfume, I can do this in my own way. I can own a part of this business.’ "

She explained that her parents' support and the confidence they instilled in her to own who she is contributed to her success — as did her tenacity to keep going.

“I don’t have any kind of formula for success, what I’ve learned is if you can follow your heart, you can be true to yourself, and you can work really hard,” she said on the show. “The difference between being successful and not being successful is not giving up and I just didn’t give up.”
