Ari Lennox landed in legal trouble overseas on Monday morning (November 29) after being arrested in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The Dreamville singer was detained at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport for disturbing public order, being aggressive toward an airline official and public intoxication, according to Dutch military police.
“Our unit found a woman full of emotions that wouldn’t calm down,” police spokesperson Robert van Kapel told Reuters. “That’s why she had to be taken into custody.”
But Lennox has a different versions of events. The Washington, D.C. native claimed she was racially profiled while documenting her arrest on Twitter.
“Fuck Amsterdam security. They hate black people,” she wrote in a series of tweets. “I just want to go home. I’ll never leave my house again.
“Wow. They’re arresting me,” she continued. “I’m being arrested in Amsterdam for reacting to a woman racially profiling me.”
The spokesperson for the Dutch military police said they are currently investigating threats Ari Lennox allegedly made toward the airline official. Authorities declined to say when she would be released from custody.
The Shea Butter Baby chanteuse arrived in Amsterdam on Monday morning local time following her performance at the 2021 BET Soul Train Awards in New York City on Sunday evening (November 28).

Air Lennox isn’t the only American music star to land in legal trouble in Amsterdam. Earlier this year, T.I. was arrested in the Dutch capital after he collided into a police car while riding a bicycle.
The Hustle Gang rapper was eventually released over the “slight kerfuffle” and seemed rather unbothered by the whole incident — but not before documenting his arrest on Instagram Live.
Every time this women is in the media, she is complaining and pulling the race card. I actually dug her sound for a bit but cannot get over how much she complains and acts like a victim. You can have your perspective, but you must provide strength and perseverance if you want to be a positive influence on people who are going through similar things (but are in a far harder position to cope with it than a celebrity is).
I bet she acted like the typical angry black woman tuting and waving her hands like a ratchet… FOH!
So what if she had her hands in the air hell even if she was clapping i thought that was her right as long as she kept her hands to herself and it’s true if she was White Woman she wouldn’t have had to go thru all of that
Can we stick to the facts and leave color out of it ? Public intoxication in any airport security will get you arrested even if your skin color is green with pink polka dots.
This ratchet h0es stank attitude is what is getting her in trouble. No airport in the whole will tolerate buffoonery when there’s all types of other real threats they have to deal with
Is she balding?
She prob went ahead and brought race into it – she need to get ye on the phone so he can teach her
