Ari Lennox’s opinion on Black-led sitcoms may be controversial, but everyone would agree that she looked “gorgeous” in the hot bikini photos she shared earlier this summer. The 160,000+ users who liked the post seemed to think so. Plus, the comments quickly filled up with praises.

One user, however, referred to her as “another amazing woman going to waste.” It’s unclear whether that sentiment stems from her controversial opinions, the bikini photos, or the general sentiment among fans that Lennox is not being pushed enough in her career.

Ari Lennox brought the heat in a sizzling hot pink bikini, commanding the attention of thousands of fans. Fans loved everything from the “little piece of gray in the front” of her hair to the way the pink color of the bikini complemented her skin tone.

The bikini itself was a simple fit, featuring a classic triangle halter top with a graphic print “Soft Girl Era” on one cup, and matching low-rise bikini bottoms. It had a simple yet flattering cut that showed off her alluring waistline. The set is from her merch for her latest single, “Soft Girl Era.”

Lennox’s pose in the simple bikini was everything. She posed on a boat in all six slides, with the camera capturing her curves from the right angles. Lennox was generous too, giving fans both front and back views of her ‘sexy’ figure. Fans dubbed her a “gorgeous goddess.”

The pink bikini post had thousands of comments ranging from admiration to criticism. Ari Lennox has made specific controversial comments on popular shows like “Martin” that have turned some people against her. One fan commented, “Get attention from the music, not from saying dumb sh-t.”

Some fans of her music have voiced that she isn’t being “promoted like all the others” in her music genre. They claimed it’s because she hasn’t done cosmetic surgeries to fit into the “baddie R&B aesthetic,” comparing her to artists like SZA and Summer Walker, who eventually got BBLs.

The commenter who referred to her as “another amazing woman going to waste” may be a fan who shared similar sentiments. 11 other users liked the comment in agreement.

The “Shea Butter Baby” singer has shared candid opinions on social issues, media representation, and personal experiences that have sparked significant backlash online.

In a radio interview, Lennox expressed frustration with the ’90s sitcom “Martin,” specifically how Martin Lawrence’s character relentlessly mocked Pam (played by Tichina Arnold) about her appearance.

She described the jokes as “wildly offensive” and suggested they reinforced colorist tropes harmful to dark-skinned black women, drawing from her own childhood experience of feeling impacted by such humor.

Many fans disagreed and defended the show as harmless, pointing out that Pam often outwitted Martin. Regardless of fans’ sentiments, Lennox stood firm in her opinions. While some fans have turned, others still express their love for her.

Ari Lennox seemed to have vacationed in South Africa in the spring as she shared snaps at Clifton 4th Beach. She rocked an ombre pink bikini from her “Soft Girl Era” merch, completed with a broad smile that inspired the comment, “Peace looks good on you!”

The post came a few weeks after she parted ways with Dreamville Records, following her wish to be “free” from the contract. Fans remarked that she looked much “happier” after leaving the record label.

Ari Lennox announced the “Soft Girl Era” merch just before summer with mirror selfies wearing a similar pink string bikini. Fans were already hyped up for the “soft girl summer.” They praised her “natural body,” the bikini, and the hot pink color.
