Unhappy J-Lo and the N word?

I'm sure everyone has heard the recent controversy or at least the the new song of Jennifer Lopez (featuring Jah Rule) where she uses the "N" word. After discussing the topic with some friends of mine, do you think that she is getting this backlash because she is not black (even though she is a minority) or the acutal origin of the word? I agree that the word should not be used at all, but it is especially in hip-hop. But why do you think people are making such a big deal about one particular artist using it over another?
