Ari Lennox doesn’t need any qualifiers from us regarding her looks, but she is one of the most beautiful singers on the planet. An online troll took a swing at Lennox and Teyana Taylor‘s looks, and she put the clown in place along with several others on Twitter.
The Dreamville songstress was most likely minding her business and getting into the new year just fine when Twitter user @WinEverUwantIT compared the Dreamville songstress and Taylor to rottweilers.
“Ari Lennox and Teyana Taylor’s ability to have dangerously high sex appeal while simultaneously looking like rottweilers will always amaze me,” read the backhanded comment.
Perhaps he was looking for a little attention from Lennox and surely got it after she responded in short order.
“People hate blackness so bad,” Lennox wrote in a retweet caption featuring the offending tweet. She followed the missive with, “Moms and Dads please love on your beautiful black children. Tell them they’re beautiful constantly. Tell them Black people are beautiful. Tell them black features are beautiful.”
Amen to that.
Because Twitter is Twitter, some jerks seemingly threw rocks and hid their hands in support of @WinEverUwantIT’s hamhanded tweet but overall that noise is getting shut down by both fans of Lennox and Taylor, and by Black women period.
We’re pretty sure that if a woman who looked like Lennox or Taylor stepped to the person who made the tweet, he’d swiftly find himself out of his league.
Via Twitter, Ari Lennox’s name is trending along with Teyana Taylor’s name. We’ve got the best of the reactions below.

Ari Lennox will unfortunately always be a target for disrespect because she’s a confident young Black woman that’s intentional on using her platform to make other Black women feel seen and she’s vocal about her feelings.

Protect her at all costs.

Ari Lennox should be trending cause of her bomb ass music and just being a Black woman in general, not cause of some clown shit being shared and RT’d.

and we are the problem—when you engage with problematic content, you increase the likelihood that others will too.

people are missing ari lennox’s point on purpose. she wasn’t just crying about the comments made towards her, she was upset about the disrespectful things black women (particularly with darker skin) hear & endure on a daily basis. why are y’all like this fr lmfao

Ari Lennox is 100% correct black people are the only people who tear down their own race. NEVER have I ever seen a Hispanic man tear down a hispanic women based upon her her looks, NEVER have I ever seen a white man tear down white women. It’s fucking disgusting love your people

Ari Lennox is just another example of how y’all think you can harrass celebrities on a daily basis & think they’re gonna be okay. They are humans. She is a person. Celebrity isn’t a protective shield.

So instead of just standing in solidarity w Ari Lennox .. who has done nothing but celebrate and praise black men and women .. for that comment about her looking like a dog y’all choose to “what about when” her to death. Just musty.

"Ya'll got Ari Lennox fucked up" ???
All of us should feel fed up with how people treat black women. More of us should be vocal about the mistreatment of black women and how the actions of (black) men affect them. https://t.co/BoRLilqN6z

Niggas on this app do be talking crazy about black women on this app so I understood why Ari Lennox was so upset and that tweet in general was just some clown shit.
