It takes ample amounts of courage to confront bullying head-on, especially on a public platform such as Twitter. But Ari Lennox took action earlier this month after she and Teyana Taylor were targeted for their looks, admitting being labeled a “Rottweiler” was hurtful.
“You wanna talk about how people are so sensitive they want us to cancel freedom of speech,” she said in part. “Why is this your speech? Why are you so comfortable tearing down black women?” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Rather than see that as a sign of strength, the always outspoken Joe Budden decided to label Lennox “insecure” during a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.
“Does anything about the Ari Lennox thing scream insecurity to you?” he said. “Insecurity. How you feel about you versus how what people feel about you versus how what people feel about you does to how you feel about you. Insecurity. And while there may be variations of it or different reasons of why it stems, insecurity is insecurity.”
Budden’s comments weren’t well received. Twitter instantly pounced on the Slaughterhouse vet and called his assessment of the situation “disgusting.”
Check out some of the reactions below.
Ari Lennox IS insecure. There was no point responding. Sometimes it’s best to keep it moving. There are a lot of clowns online. They are not worth giving any airtime.
Mal looks like a Klump for real
Nice try at shaping the narrative by using idiots on Twitter to defend her insecurity. She’s sensitive and tried to play the race card. Ignore the negativity. It comes with celebrity.
This sensitive ass world we live in now is DEAD! Smh
Who are the people “roasting” him? A bunch of ABFs. She IS ugly thats a fact of life. She tried to take her whole race down with her and riled up all the ABF’s so they would fight her battle for her. I cant stand Joe Budden but he’s right on this one.
The bitfh ugly get over it
I guess them calling him names is ok. The hypocrisy is over these folks heads i suppose.
lol no. You brain damaged retards who NEED to derive your self worth from
Anonymous losers on they moms couch is the problem. I fuck wit his point. If you NEED the validation of fucking strangers, then deal the the trolls. And, if you haven’t figured out that the ppl who do that are miserable cocksuckers and most the time insecure lames too, then it’s all on you. Grow the fuck up. K sorry, rant finished. getting off the boat and finishing the last leg of my 6 hour commute hahaha.
I agree with you 100 and ten percent. People’s perception immediately faults to the majority. Joe was actually brave in the situation because I had the same opinion before I heard the episode. You can’t decide peoples’ words but you can control the effect of them. People think they’re so smart they forget to think about things logically minus the sense of pride for a race.
Well said sir 100
Sorry the well said sir was to you I’m not that narcissistic..
Do people actually listen to the joe budden podcast? Must be getting more and more stupid by the minute listening to that clown lol.
I wont often say/type this but i agree with Joe…if someone calls u a name..and it upsets u so much it brings u to tears..and ur out of grade school..then u clearly have self esteem issues and insecure about ur looks. .because someone telling me i look like a man or a dog would never affect me because when i look in the mirror (most days) i think im beautiful..some days im like damn bitch get it together…but overall anothers opinion about me doesn’t cause me to be upset emotionally..talk shit..yes..feel something in the moment yes…what i feel is insulted that someone who is themselves flawed and imperfect has the gall to call me ugly..like if im ugly tf are u son? Disgusting?…and then my day goes on..its called snap back..not post a video crying about how black women are constantly attacked…yeah nah unattractive ppl are constantly attacked and un/attractiveness doesn’t have a color…and myself dont find her attractive…but Tyana is gorgeous and thats why she’s not in a video crying
And just like that… Joe is in the news and people jump on his podcast to hear what he said. Joe is a master vulture of the culture. He knows how people work.
Joe is the Slim Shady of podcasts.
if someone has to go on Instagram live to try to explain to a bunch of people they’ve never met over a comment from someone they’ve never met, yes, they’re INSECURE AF LMFAO.
You lot are a bunch of silly sausages, I knew a girl looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp, white as snow she was. DEBBIE’S FUMING….
I dont give AF if your black, hispanic, white, chinese, alien or a ghost, b!tch if you look like a rottweilder you look like a rottweilder, point blank period. This isnt a black thing, it is an insecurity thing, people get called names every day b (Cam’ron voice), dont use your situation to try to make it a race thing. That like us not laughing a Gump looking like an orange orangutan, get that ufck outta here, imma call a spade a spade!
yeah, like no other women or men from any other race had been made fun of, ever. gtfoh with that bs
Joe Budden has a small bulge but it has a nice smell after a workout at the gym, how big is your bulge?
Human nature would say that she made an impulsive decision based on emotion. You can pretty easily derive that it was an emotional decision and not a logical one. Her point was that the hate on black women made her emotional, joe thinks insecurity was the reason… only one of these logically make sense.
