Ari Lennox recently shared a personal story about experimenting with same-se*x dating, which ignited widespread discussion on social media. Known for being open with her fans, the R&B singer revealed her brief attempt at dating a woman earlier this year and explained why it didn’t work out. Her honesty sparked a lively conversation online.
During a live Q&A session on social media, Lennox recounted her short-lived and uncomfortable experience of exploring a same-se*x relationship. When asked by a fan whether she would consider dating women again, Lennox responded candidly: “Quasimoto asks, ‘Would you still give dating a woman a shot? Thirsty?’ Yes, thirsty—no,” she replied with humor. “I tried for a moment earlier this year, but it quickly got weird.”
She admitted that the situation left her feeling insecure, prompting her to retreat from the experience and return to what she was more familiar with. “I felt unsure and thought, ‘Let me stick to what I know,’” she said.
Lennox also addressed the ongoing speculation about her se*xuality, playfully questioning why fans often assumed she was a le*sbian. “Why do y’all always try to make me a le*sbian?” she joked before acknowledging her own role in fueling those rumors. “Because I’ve made myself seem very le*sbian.”
Reflecting on the comlications of dating women, Lennox admitted to feeling confused, adding, “I find women difficult to understand, and I don’t even fully understand myself.”
After audio clips from her livestream circulated on platforms like Twitter (X), users began to poke fun at the situation, with some humorously acknowledging the shared confusion about women. “Women don’t even understand women, we’re doomed,” one user tweeted. Another commented, “Ari Lennox had me rolling with her livestream.”
However, the lighthearted banter took a turn when Lennox recalled a strange interaction with a follower who seemed to reduce her to her biological traits. “‘Why aren’t you out there procreating?’ What does that even mean?” Lennox vented. “Am I just a womb to you? A giver of life? It’s ridiculous.”
Lennox’s raw and unpredictable livestreams have brought her increased attention lately. Just last month, she went viral for jokingly claiming she’d do bizarre things to pay off her debt to the IRS.
