What Happened During Ari Lennox’s Performance
Lennox is currently an act on singer Rod Wave’s nationwide ‘Nostalgia’ tour. Additionally, Lennox is accompanied by fellow artists Toosi, G Herbo, and Eelmatic.
According to Rod Wave’s official website, the tour made its most recent stop in Los Angeles, California, Wednesday evening at The Kia Forum. There, Lennox took the stage and began performing her 2022 hit single, “Pressure.”
However, a few seconds after Lennox began singing her introductory verse, a water bottle flew past her frame, fan footage shows.
Lennox promptly stopped her performance, questioning as to who threw the item.
“B***h, don’t f*****g play with me, stop that shit,” Lennox said walking toward the area where the bottle was thrown from. “I’ll f**k you up from here. Who the f**k did it? Who the f**k did it? I’ll f**k your ass up cause I don’t play that. I’m a real ass b***h, and I will f**k your s**t all the way the f**k up. Don’t you ever disrespect a beautiful Black woman on the stage like that. I will f*****g f**k you up. Yes, the f**k right, we get it b***h.”
In footage shared by The Shade Room, Lennox can be heard asking the fan to “come here.”

According to Complex, Lennox’s set was ultimately cut short following the incident.

The Singer Recently Shared Her Sobriety Journey
As The Shade Room previously reported, Lennox shared a milestone moment with her fans earlier this year. In July, the 32-year-old revealed that she was seven months sober.
At the time, Lennox explained that she couldn’t “imagine going back to how things were” and now feels “more in control” of her emotions.
The singer shared that she doesn’t find “interest in partying anymore” and also believed that she’s “changing and that’s deeper than alcohol.”
“I like waking up with no hangover or embarrassment. I like waking up with no night terrors and panic attacks from liquor. I’m so raw feeling everything in this world and my coping mechanisms are only healthier now. It’s nice to remember events as they are happening. It’s nice to be present.”
