Los Angeles, California - Jennifer Lopez has sounded off on the one gig she took against her team's wishes!

During the 55-year-old hitmaker's chat with Nikki Glaser for Interview Magazine this week, J.Lo spilled the tea on her career journey.

The Let's Get Loud singer admitted that she took a huge risk when she became a judge on American Idol's tenth season.

Jennifer explained, "I'll do things that could be risky because I believe that they're going to turn out OK. I'd done all these big movies and made these albums, and now they're asking me to do reality TV."

She noted that her advisers were against the gig because she would be "reduced to just a reality star" since such shows were "looked down upon" at the time.

The Maid in Manhattan star added, "I love music, and I love mentoring people, and I wanted to share the things that I knew about the business. So it became more about, 'What do I think I can do with this?'"

Elsewhere in the interview, J.Lo also briefly touched on her divorce from Ben Affleck, saying that her world "f**king exploded" after their split.
