    To see two black men pour into this young woman in such an innocent way is beautiful. They aren’t flirting. They aren’t sexualizing her. They aren’t condescending. They are legitimately giving her free game and building her up. 👑

      She seems like she might just be really spiritual and introverted, and maybe just isn't so outwardly focused. She seems just so driven by intuition and emotion, and it seems like everything just clicked for her career. Not that she isn't into the lifestyle and all of glam that comes with it, she's just all vibes. I think she just doesn't know how much better/ more authentic she is in comparison to other people in the world at large, not just restricted to the industry (which obviously I know fuckall about).
      It seems like the people she probably would choose to hang out with are just introverted and gentle people who just aren't so hype-y.

    My prayer for Ari is that she truly finds the love she desires, has the family she dreamed of having, really realizes her talent, gift and value to R&B music and regains her passion for it.
    OAN, this sit-down was definitely different. This was probably a conversation that Ari needed from 2 genuine, seasoned and compassionate individuals that understand her pain, confusion and gave her the guidance and mentoring that she may have needed.
    Now that "On It" hit tho...🔥🔥 It didn't come off as inappropriate or vulgar because of the delivery. They sang the HELL outta that song! And sang/performed it tastefully. Not to mention, Plies made us love it even that much more after his HILARIOUS IG post!😂
    I know the EXACT performance/moment Tank was speaking of w/Yolanda😍 And totally get why he lost himself in her and her performance. Yolanda Adams does it to me every time I watcher her perform as well.

    I feel like the Tank mentorship program needs to start( if it’s already open, please sign Ari L. up), Ari will really benefit from this mentorship. So many life changing nuggets.
    She talked about “ having another thing, Rihanna has Fenty”, maybe Ari fleshing out her song writing skills will allow her to enjoy the music and still be content.
    I feel like for her professional life, Ari ought to organically align with Tank’s mentorship and for the personal life, the real 🥷🥷 program with J. valentine to give her the game.

I love the way this whole interview was done. Very lighthearted and fun though straight forward. No games or entrapments. I listened to the whole show and didn't mind the time. It was over before I was ready for it to be. Everything you talked about was straight up and honest, even on the quick mentions then back on topic. Thumbs up. Keep it up.

    I'm so glad Jay and Tank are giving Ari all these jewels. Ari need to connect more with men and women like this in the industry. Reach out to Patti, Anita, Gladys and seasoned entertainers in her line of business. She need someone to help guide her through this industry that does what she does. Her confidence looks as if it's broken. Jermaine Dupree had to help breathe life back into her and tap into her true artistry. That's what Ari need to be around the veterans in this game. She can learn from them and get the insight and power through them to carry on in this industry. Ari said she wants to work with them and I think it would be idea for her.

I hope they get to work with her musically. Her latest album is EXCELLENT. I'M TRYNA and I'M GONE CHAMGE WAS AMAZING and a major soundtrack to my senior year with ol dude lol.

    @Daeshfrommanorrd Před rokem +14

    Its weird but I can understand what Ari tried to get at when speaking about not wanting to be a hopeless romantic. I believe that what she was trying to convey is that instead of being the hopeless romantic who is consistently dissapointed in her relationships she would like to transition into someone who is hopeful that she finds true love one day but does not expect nor get dissapointed when she doesnt find true love in the patrons who she may attract on a day to day basis. A hopeless romantic is someone who is desperate for love because they have no hope that it will come one day, they are not patient for it which makes the desire for love so hasty. With that people tend to to give seasonal people lifetime expectations which then results in dissapointment and heartbreak and nobody wants that. I hope anyone who is reading this who can relate to the dissapointment of being a hopless romantic strengthens their faith in gods plan for their lifetime partner and gives themselves the permission to give affection and recieve affection respectably and responsibly without expectation wherever they may find it fully knowing that in the end they will end up with who god intended for them as long as they are truly connecting genuinely and righteously. Love always wins. God bless.
