Jennifer had thrown for her \u2014 and everyone was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went over to him and told him to leave and he told me to back off.

The pair hit it off immediately and Ojani packed up his life to move to Los Angeles to be with her.<\/p>\n<p>He famously asked her to marry him with a diamond ring during the crowded wrap party for her breakout film Selena.<\/p>\n<p>Lucrative offers came flooding in for J-Lo from the entertainment industry, including a multi-million-dollar record deal from Sony music mogul Tommy Mottola.<\/p>\n<p>But that meteoric rise to the top was the moment things started to unravel between the newlyweds.<\/p>\n<p>Ojani says: \u201cEverything was great and we were so in love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in charge of launching a nightclub in LA called The Conga Room which was part-owned by Jen, while she went off to make her debut album \u2014 On The 6 \u2014 in New York and Miami. That was when Diddy was drafted in to help produce several tracks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey knew each other way before the media reported they did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe started hanging out with Diddy more and more, and I started seeing her less and less.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the rumours started.
