In a shocking turn of events, Ari Lennox, the mesmerizing R&B sensation, found herself at the center of an unsettling incident during her opening performance for rapper Rod Wave in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

While delivering affirmations ahead of an electrifying rendition of her hit song “Pressure,” an unexpected interruption disrupted the show when an object, later identified as a water bottle, was hurled in her direction.

Lennox, whose real name is Courtney Shanade Salter, halted her performance and turned her attention toward the source of the disruption. The D.C. native didn’t hold back as she unleashed a fiery tirade against the individual responsible for the disrespectful act.

Don’t you ever disrespect a beautiful Black woman on the f***ing stage like that,” she added, as a security guard swiftly joined her on stage to maintain order.
