After applying the ‘Pressure,’ Ari Lennox is gearing up to unlock new music aplenty.
Full story below…

And it’s coming sooner than folk may think. For, the song will be released this Friday (August 12).
But that’s not all!

Ari Lennox is way too underrated.
When artists like Taylor Swift start taking over R&B, DO NOT COMPLAIN!
Y’all disrespect her West African features, call her ugly, clown her music when she’s an insanely soulful singer.
I don’t blame her for retiring.
The industry doesn’t deserve her and Jazmine Sullivan.
I don’t understand the ugly comments at all she is absolutely stunning. Her album is also a gem i keep New Apartment, Up Late, Whipped Cream, and Chicago Boy on heavy rotation. Perhaps she needs better management team
I LOVE Ari
Soul singers haven’t been a thing since the 70’s/80’s. Most ppl simply do NOT care for Southern Soul Music and prefer the more easy listening style R&B. It has nothing to do with her facial features.
Even when ppl support DARKER skinned women in Hollyweird, we still complain about how they don’t look West African enough, as if ALL West Africans look one way, lol
Isn’t “Tems” NOT West African?? Ari Lennox music is basically “alternative” R&B and SZA has this market on locked thanks to records such as “Good Days”.
The nit picking of DARKER skinned women facial features is extremely racists in itself.
Because they’re ugly, that is why
How the hell did you do that Shayla? How come it took you so long to use ou avatar?
You can impersonate me as much as you want Shayla, people know who you are and you do here.
@True Tea, be careful Shayla the troll took the time to find a way to steal others avatar to impersonate them.
Wasn’t you just saying it ain’t possible to do that?
So you are the one that helped her to do it 😀 I believe that name “Jynkx” has that picture attached but how are you gonna use the name Shayla and the dragon avatar? Show me 😁

😂 that’s all you found once you hit a wall? When people are using fake accounts to impersonate someone they have a different picture, we already saw that and i’m sorry but you can’t fool anyone 😘 you wanted some go hard playa? You got it.
If it’s so easy to use any avatar with any name then show us, use Shayla with the dragon 🙂 I wanna see that.

Look how pathetic you are at this point 😂 you hit a wall girl, we ALL know we just can choose the name, give an email and eventually a website but there’s no way to copy an avatar to replicate an account 😉 each account attached to a different IP will have automatically an other one, you just can’t assume what you did, once again you can’t fool anyone now 😘

Even just a different device generate a different avatar, stop fooling yourself girl 😉 you exposed yourself and you can’t do nothing about it.

Tic-tac, tic-tac 🕜
Why is it so hard for you to use Shayla with the dragon avatar? 🤔
So? 🙂
Ari’s music is NOT alternative R&B 🙄 her music is traditional/soulful R&B.
Maybe her NEWER music is more Traditional R&B but a lot of her older music wasn’t.
Her music wasn’t well received until she linked up with Jermaine Dupri for “Pressure”.
Even her EP “Pho” had a traditional R&B/soulful sound. When I think of alt R&B; SZA, Jhene, Frank Ocean and the likes come to mind. Ari isn’t giving that. One could say Pressure is her most “mainstream” offering but even that has a throwback soulful sound.
All they care about on here is sales. Talent doesn’t matter. I hope Ari continues to make great rnb music. I’m looking forward to the new album. Pressure was a great lead single and I’m glad it experienced the success that it did. Shea Butter Baby was one of the best R&B albums I’ve heard in a long time.

The 1st Ari song I ever heard was “Yuengling” and it isn’t given Traditional R&B/Soul. Now I agree she does have a very soulful voice but I never heard her sing Soul ballads like Fantasia or Ledisi.
I would categorize Ari’s music as contemporary soul. She considers herself to be a soul singer. With a ratchet twist lol.
Actually Ari reminds me of a modern day Betty Wright
At the end of the day, you can call it Traditional or REAL Hip-Hop…but if the music doesn’t resonate with the culture, ppl want support it. That’s all I’m saying.
Someone brought up her facial features as the reason why ppl don’t stream her music.
Her music resonated with who it was supposed to. I blame it on poor promotion. All the newer R&B girls aside from SZA and Summer Walker are struggling. Pressure did become her first and only Hot 100 hit.
Well SZA’s older music was considered “weird”.
SZA’s music wasn’t always well received either. Maybe it was poor promotion, who knows. SZA’s breakthrough of course is “Love Galore” with Travis Scott. So promo could be the reason.
However we know it wasn’t her DARK SKIN.
I loved her debut!
What are you waiting for using my avatar girl? What’s going on? 😀 isn’t so baaad that you can’t help but to expose yourself more and more without me doing anything special? 😁
Now i want you to do the same but with your original account , keep Shayla as name and use the dragon 😀
Shayla taking the time to show us how she emulates others account, I love it 😀
You said it ain’t possible dude. Going out real sad.
What’s funny is that you can’t seem to use Shayla name with the dragon avatar? How come if it’s so easy to change it? 😀
It’s ok Jynkx. She stole your account, so I stole hers!!! Two can play that game. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🫢
For real? 😂
Yup! For real for real 😂. We got your back Jynkx 🤭🤭🤭🫢🫢🫢
So you just exposed yourself for stealing her account. Real sad dude
I TOLD you I was RIGHT! 🤳🏽
You are crazy as hell Shayla 😅 did you escape from an asylum?
I TOLD you I was WRONG! 🤳🏽
Do you realise how sick you are actually? You use your own account to pretend someone else is using it? F*ck I never saw such a level of madness 😅
I’m only man enough to bully black women 😅
Devonte = Shayla. You ain’t slick bro🤣
I asked him to create an account, dummy!
@Shayla troll, can you imagine being so f*cked up in the head? 😅 she really thought she could trick everyone, gagging.
Ok…so Shayla is Davonte and the fake Jynkx and the fake Shayla pretending to be the real Shayla?? Got it. LMAO!!!!!!!!!
@WTF can you imagine? Seriously? Vos mad someone has to be to play that game? That’s why she expose herself sometimes, there’s toi many tricks 😂
So, he says it’s impossible that he used my name and avatar… but is now accusing me of using his name and avatar? Who’s REALLY exposing themselves?
Still yourself girl, now that you showed everyone that you’re able to use the right person to help you emulate others account, what are you waiting for using that dragon with your name? 😀 Nice try girl but you’re still being exposed and more than ever now 😂
I’m a dummy and a troll and I steal the account of other TGJ readers because they exposed me and I’m trying to deflect. Everything you said about me is true.
Omg that girl is crazy as F 😂
I am smelly French gay who only bully to woman and girls
LMAO who would believe I would use my account to insult myself? 😂 keep on exposing your trolling role Shayla
It’s NOT ME!
You are really crazy as f Shayla 😅 I hope everyone is watching this now
The same as I wouldn’t use MY own account to call MY baby ugly! You dumb or what?
Of course you did, that’s the only way you found to play the victim card 😂
Huh??
I think it’s funny how you never reported any emulation of your account recently but you had to do it when I started to say you were using fake accounts and give receipts of your comments? 😂
I only bully black women. I’m not able to bully man
LMAO 😂😂😂 and she keeps on trying in vain to make something but she still not able to use my avatar with her name 🤣
I’m sorry Shayla I want to start again to be a friends with you. I’ve been worrying too much for school starting again as I get bullied 😔 Start again?
FÛÇK NO! You’re TWEAKED out of your GOT DAMN MIND!!!
How can you be so sick in your mind to emulate my account and say things so stupid that nobody will ever believe I said something like that? 😂 and you also do the answer, you’re creating your own scenario like a real psychopath 🤣
LMAO you’re dreaming awake Shayla 😆 you can keep on using my account but how come you’re still not able to use yours with my avatar? 🤔
Mention my kid and think we ever can be cool?! Crazy FÛĆK!!!
Are you trying to convince yourself that you didn’t do it yourself to play the victim later? 😂
@TGJ – are you guys not going to do something about this ret@rd3d mess in every comments section?
I’m off to SandraRose.com.
Right, how many people complain about Shayla and since how long? This has to stop, we come here for the music, not being bullied by a troll who’s desperate to be someone online.
And plays the victim when she gets what she gives.
EXCUSE me?! In the last post alone you came for ME, Marilyn and UHoesFunny! And you don’t QUIT!
Grow up. Your whiny essays and redundant quotes of other posters are part of the problem
That last comment was to miss rat with wings and not to Shayla just to clarify before it gets confusing lol
@Shayla, I think it’s funny how you never reported any emulation of your account recently but you had to do it when I started to say you were using fake accounts and give receipts of your comments? 😂 And she keeps on exposing herself.
Miss Rat with Wings lmaoooooooooo!! 🤣
Isn’t it funny girl? You claim that somebody used your account but you waited until I started to talk about you using fake accounts and giving receipts? 😀
Now why did I know all these 60+ comments weren’t about Ari 😅 messy! Her music never really got me but wish her success
I try to get Shayla all worked up so I can sit and play with my tiny winky to her comments 😅
Sounds about right!
I said : Isn’t it funny Shayla? You claim that somebody used your account but you waited until I started to talk about you using fake accounts and giving receipts 😀 and here you are using mine proving everyone who you are 🤣
I also said it was impossible to use anyone else’s account and now I’m claiming someone else is using mine 🤣
I was wrong? Damn, that’s hot, what else? You took the time to show us how you were able to do it while I was asking you how you were doing it 😄 now we all know what you are all about, do you even realise that you just exposed yourself again? If somebody used your account you would have hit the comment section and claim someone is using your account but you didn’t, why? Because it was you all along of course, another mistake you will learn from 😘
Because I’m used to it, dummy! You’re new and not from these parts so you know NOTHING 💋
And still you exposed yourself earlier and this time again using fake accounts and being the one that emulates others 😂 you refuse to talk about the fact that you didn’t report and emulation from your account recently until I made you hit a wall 🤣 i’m just gagging.
Cool 👍🏽
If you don’t want any beef you have to stop talking bad to others so you won’t have to complain when they’re coming at you. It’s that simple, respect us and we will respect you. Don’t respect us and you won’t respect you, easy.
I’ll do whatever the f***, speak however the f***, and to whoever the f*** I want. Got it?
And there is no “us,” you have no crew, there’s only you. You’re not speaking for anybody.
See? You really do have a huge problem Shayla. You clearly saw in the recent comments that I was not the only one being fed up about your nasty attitude, do I have to enumerate all their names? Me plus them equal US whether your ego can take it or not, you have to deal with it and you don’t have a choice. I told you gently to respect people in the first place if you don’t want them to disrespect you but you don’t give a f and you really expect the next comments to gets better as if you could do whatever you want? Sorry girl, you’re gonna be sad.
I don’t give a flying f*** if EVERYONE on here is fed up of me! LMAOOOOOOOOOO! 🤣 It’s a blog, it’s not my life! Everyone seems to hate you TOO!
You have a hell of a lot to learn, lil fella.
And be sure of one thing, you can emulate my account as much as you want, I don’t care and you know why? Because people knows i’m not a b*tch that doesn’t give a f about disrespecting somebody for fun and plays the victim when I hit a wall.
You have proven enough how good you were from trolling through fake accounts and emulating others so who would be surprise to see that these ones are never far away from you in the comments. I thought I told you? You don’t have the level.
Isn’t it getting late in France? You’d better get on to bed. Goodnight 👋🏽✌🏽
Don’t you have a baby to carry about instead of spending your life on TGS?
Are you still banging on? You’re like a man with a tiny c0çk who won’t admit defeat in being unable to satisfy his woman and still just keeps on banging away, never taking the hint that he ain’t making that p**** drip!
Did I strike a nerve? 😬🤭
Oh playa please. It’s takes a lot more than that and you’ve become boring.
Really? That’s why you’re talking so dirty just because I said the truth, don’t you have a baby to carry about? 😌 okay girl 😂
I have a live-in nanny. I also have a big family. I’m good, darling.
Oh so you prefer to spend more time here than with your own baby, I see.
Je t’aime Shayla!
😂 as if I could ever say something like this, i’m so glad that you’re exposing yourself like this, you have no idea 🤭
Yawn 🥱 Stop trying to make it look like I’m using your tired, stank account. Loser.
Please play with my tiny winky! It’s so tiny that you can’t see it’s hard but it is! Please just touch it!
Eugh!!! You’s a nasty ass mf!!! It’s gotta be you because I don’t chat like that, b****!
You are deeply sick Shayla but nobody will be surprise by your little scenarios, in fact it’s you that we are all tired about darling 😘 it’s always the same tricks, I think you’re tired and you should focus on your baby, he deserves better.
Me so horny 😅
You so desperate, AKA poor Shayla keeps on exposing herself more and more as who she is 😂
You don’t fool anyone Shayla. I never get any d*** 🥵
As you just said girl, you don’t fool anyone and I never talk about my sexuality so go ahead and show us your fantasy through my account if they can help you having some pleasure in your life 🤗 that’s probably all you got and it’s sad but we ain’t crying. Keep on emulating if it’s what you’re the best at in many ways 💁♂️😘
Did you guys see when I changed my avi to match the real Jynkx? And now suddenly there’s a fake Jynkx commenting everywhere. Things that make you go 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hey guys. This was me yesterday. I got caught pretending to be latonya hood b****
Shayla Queen™ 👑

why shayla go u so mad? just stfu ang go get a life outside this blog crazy b****
So now the scenario is me being supposed to emalute you again? LMAO 😂 you are so sick it’s almost alarming at this point. And you have a baby? Hum… 🤔 scary.
The most funny is that if I was emulating you earlier and would be right now, how come I never talked like this? Pretending to talk like you were giving some apologise and other bullish? 😂 that doesn’t even make sense sis 🤣 you’re so dumb that you got yourself exposed again 🤡
You’re just not at the the level Shayla, you don’t have the I.Q that’s required to impersonate me and play your weak and same old same tricks 😘 you’re just a disappointment in too many ways.
Ms. Ari I am so ….awaiting your sophomore album…
So, proud of you with those words of relationship……. #represented us chocolate drops
