Ari Lennox And Teyana Taylor React To Cruel Tweets About Their Beauty: “People Hate Blackness So Bad!”

Singers Ari Lennox and Teyana Taylor are two of R&B’s hottest divas, and with massive popularity sometimes comes harsh criticism. Unfortunately, the ladies were the subjects of a cruel tweet about how their appearance. @WinEverUwantIT tweeted:

“Ari Lennox and Teyana Taylor’s ability to have dangerously high sex appeal while simultaneously looking like rottweilers will always amaze me”

Ari Lennox called out the tweet as an anti-Black message. She said:

“People hate blackness so bad”

Teyana Taylor also caught wind of the mean message, and agreed with Ari’s response:

“No lies detected.”

Teyana ignored the frenzy, while Ari Lennox engaged with Twitter followers about how Black beauty is perceived. The “B.M.O.” singer said:

“Black women literally the most disrespected. Period…Make it make sense. Black features are royalty.”

Soon after, she took to an Instagram Live session with this tearful account of the Twitter attack:

“I’m not f—in with that s— at all how people hate Black people so much- how Black people can sit up here and say, ‘That’s not my problem.’ Or, ‘She does look like a rottweiler.’ That’s fine. Oh, but you wanna talk about how, ‘People are so sensitive. They want us to cancel freedom of speech.’ Why is this your speech? Why are you so comfortable tearing down Black women and no other race? Look around. When are Hispanic women ever compared to dogs?…When do they do that to white women? When are white men doing that to white women?…they’re not doing that.”

This honestly hurt to watch. Some of you black men have to do better or just shut up. pic.twitter.com/ihyCxq3d4Q

Ari ended the debacle with this message for parents of Black children.

“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.”

What do you think of Ari’s and Teyana’s responses?
