Ari Lennox Isn’t Alone
Ari isn’t the one R&B songstress who responded to having her work excluded from the 2023 GRAMMY Awards nominations, as Summer Walker—her collaborator on hit projects like “Queen Space” and “Unloyal”—did the identical.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Summer sounded off and spoke her mind on the situation.
“& as for the Grammys for a 2nd time, the maths is literally not mathing… I used to be gone post some numbers nevertheless it’s okay, no less than the streets fuq with me,” she shared. “Y’all all the time pack out every show & support everytime I drop so thanks for the love I do receive.”
What do you concentrate on Ari and Summer getting snubbed, and are you looking forward to the age/sex/location Tour?
