They had a good discussion on this on BET Tonight last night. Personally, I'm not that mad about Jennifer using it. Like it was pointed out on BET, nobody got pissy when Chanté Moore said the word about a million times in "Bitter." When we say it among ourselves, it gives others free license to say it too. We can't police the use of the word, regardless of the context in which it is used. If we didn't want anybody else saying such a derrogatory word, we shouldn't have "brought it back", so to speak. I don't really think there's anything that can be done about it now.
One thing I can say is that now is a good time for Puff/P. Diddy/whatever to be disassociated with J. Lo, because you know if they were still together they'd be trying to blame it on him.
There's also a thread about this already in the DST forum with a lot of different opinions.
