New Achievements: Ari Lennox’s ‘Pressure’ Certifies Gold!
Singer Ari Lennox just announced her newest certification.
‘Pressure‘ is officially a gold record, selling over 50,000 copies!
This record was birthed by some heavy hitters. The song was written by herself, Anthony Parrino, Bryan-Michael Cox, Jai’Len Josey, Jermaine Dupri, and Johntá Austin — and produced Cox, Dupri and Elite. With Ari’s vocal prowess, this record was destined for many accolades.
“So fine and spicy, baby
Jump up on this (pressure)
I guess that’s why you like it, baby
Come and get this (pressure)
Takes a lot to excite me, baby
Give it all you got (pressure)
I’m a tough cookie, baby (come on)
Hit the right spot (said you better)“
The entire production, including her live performances have definitely brought listeners back to that classic R&B feel, all while still sticking to today’s lingo.
Speaking of classic R&B that’s infused with the current times, I’m sure you’ve already listened to her singles on D-Day ‘Blackberry Sap‘ and more specifically, ‘Coming Down,’ which samples Mary J. Blige’s classic!
“It’s been my dream, ever since high school
You havin’ me, me havin’ you
But we ain’t sixteen and this ain’t high school
Me lovin’ me“
With every new certification and every new single, supporters can’t wait for her upcoming album, which she’s been teasing for some time now.

Saweetie Posts Receipts of Quavo Sliding into DMs Following New Chris Brown Diss
Saweetie took to social media Tuesday morning that her ex-boyfriend Quavo reached out to her via direct messages, following his mention of her in his latest diss track aimed at Chris Brown, titled “Over Hoes & B-tches.”
In the song, Quavo raps, “I can take a model chick and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” which Saweetie didn’t take lightly. She shared a screenshot from January 2024, showing Quavo’s message on Instagram, which she hadn’t opened. The preview read, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie’s caption for the screenshot humorously suggested she hopes the model Quavo compares to her.

The history between Saweetie and Quavo dates back to their relationship from 2018 to 2021, which ended amid allegations of infidelity on Quavo’s part. Chris Brown didn’t hesitate to leverage their past relationship in his own diss track, “Weakest Link,” claiming to have been involved with Saweetie while she was still with Quavo.
“You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” he rapped.
Quavo previously dated Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who filed for a restraining order against Brown after their breakup in 2017.
