Ari Lennox may be enjoying watching her latest single, ‘Pressure,’ become her biggest hit to date (as we reported here), but the rising R&B diva’s learning the hard way that success can be a double-edged sword.
During a recent interview with South African podcaster MacGyver “MacG” Mukwevho aboard his show ‘Podcast & Chill,’ Lennox was stunned when the host asked her a wildly inappropriate question about her sex life.
The misogynistic inquiry rubbed the songstress such the wrong way she later took to social media to announce she’s done doing interviews.
Look inside to see how the drama unfolded:

As seen in the capture by our friends at TSR above, MacG quizzed Ari about the sexually explicit tone of her musical content and live performances.
“And where are we at right now?” he asked. “Is someone f*cking you good right now?”
Visibly uncomfortable, the singer responded:
“That’s a wild question. Why ask it that way? Whoa.”
Shortly after the interview, she took to Twitter to denounce future interviews. Over a string of tweets, Ari revealed:
“I’m just like…why was I alone on a call full of people? Why didn’t anyone intervene?” she wrote in a string of tweets on Friday. “And why wasn’t parts of the interview destroyed like the team promised? Why did it happen to begin with? I just feel slow and ambushed and blindsighted. Just because I happily and freely sing/write about sex don’t make any kind of creepy disrespect warranted. I clearly was in immense shock and hate that I didn’t react differently. But fuck it! I don’t want anyone feeling sorry for me. I’m tired of the narrative. Exhausted. I’m good I promise. But as for interviews I’m not doing them anymore. There’s enough lives and interviews out there already.”

Is it just me or does she seem to take offense with something new each week?
I feel the same way bro💅🏾 Typical Black woman thinking
A Black woman needs to beat yo ass b****
I can’t help it for stealing all their men💅🏾Ashy h o e s are jealous of me all the time. I get used to it. Diva remind unbothered👠 mmm hmm, I know that’s right 💋
#remains. Jeez I can’t type… let’s blame it on my man humping my a s s 💅🏾 Men are acting like h o r n y dogs sometimes.
She should be happy she got interviewed in the first place with her irrelevant flop ass.
Well, you should be happy if someone actually interviewed you! It’s too early for you to pull a Diva image, hunnie.
Maybe she’s not good in bed… that’s why she is too embarrassing to admit and was offended by the s e x questions 💅🏾 There’s nothing to hide when you are celebrity. You chose this career so deal with it!
She Can’t even remember what she singing about!? Clearly she didn’t write her music or just hiring a ghost writer like Nicki💅🏾 No shade, no shade (Nicki’s voice) 😂🤣😂🤣
This the same girl that said she was quitting music and joining the army? I mean you gotta stand by your lyrics sis. As hoeish as they may be
She is annoying af
Ari Lennox deserves RESPECT regardless of what the hell she sings about. She’s not the first or last female artist to have sexually suggestive or racy lyrics. That doesn’t give anyone permission to treat her like that!!!! All Meg the stallion sings about his her p**** and sucking d***. No journalist has ever treated her this way. Ari Lennox actually has talent and sings about a variety of subjects. It’s the misogyny and unprofessionalism for me!!!!!!
MacG is such a creep! no matter it is female or male, i don’t think it is conformable to address those sensitive questions through radio broadcast.
She’s always complaining about something. She’s very talented and she has a great voice.
