AceShowbiz - Ari Lennox would not let anyone ruin her New Year's Day, not even her haters. The R&B singer caught wind of one Twitter user who dissed both her and Teyana Taylor's appearance on the micro-blogging site, and she totally didn't let the said user get away with that.
The comment that irked Ari so bad read, "Ari Lennox and Teyana Taylor's ability to have dangerously high sex appeal while simultaneously looking like rottweilers will always amaze me." Not having any of it, the Washington D.C native quote-retweeted the post in question and added, "People hate blackness so bad."
She later shared a PSA in a separate tweet, "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.
Her response prompted a number of people to come and support her, with one saying, "Damn, it's so sad people really don't have respect. Ari and Teyana are beautiful black women and great representations for women everywhere! Sucks to have so much self hate when you come from a black woman." Answering the fan, Ari wrote, "Black women literally the most disrespected. Period."
Someone pointed out, "The fact that people associate black features to being 'ugly but sexy' is weird," to which the "Up Late" singer replied, "Make it make sense. Black features are royalty."
This isn't the first time for Ari to clap back at trolls criticizing her look. Prior to this, she called out one user who made fun of her nose and made it clear that she's proud of her feature and will not ever get under the knife. "Also I would never get surgery and I love my nose," she said at the time. "I just feel this is a conversation that needs to be had. There are black babies that have insecurities cause culture says it's funny to insult black features."
