Ari Lennox made fans’ nights in New York City, Saturday, by bringing out J. Cole during her set at the 2021 BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival. Lennox is signed to Cole’s record label, Dreamville Records.
Cole took the stage during Lennox’s performance of her platinum-selling single “Shea Butter Baby.”
Earlier this month, Lennox warned that she might be done releasing new music on Twitter, shocking her fans.
“I’m content with my discography. Wether top 40 or not. Don’t care. My heart and Soul is in every single joint that’s out. Even my SoundCloud joints,” she tweeted. “So until it feels right there simply won’t be no date on another project. So living my life is what I’ll continue doing.”
Lennox’s debut studio album, Shea Butter Baby, was released in 2019.
Cole wasn’t the only rapper to have a surprise performance, Saturday. Earlier in the day, across the country in Chicago, Machine Gun Kelly did a last-minute set at Lollapalooza.
Cole will be going on tour later this year with 21 Savage and Morray for The Offseason Tour. He’ll also be performing at Dreamville Festival in 2022.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continued their week-long, PDA-filled, vacation along the Mediterranean, through the weekend, when they were caught getting intimate once again on Saturday.
This time around, the press caught the two kissing at a dock in Naples.
The couple has been inseparable since they began dating again in the wake of Lopez’s breakup with former New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez.
Matt Damon recently said that he thinks things will be different for Lopez and Affleck this time around.
“The press was particularly terrible to them 18 years ago, so what’s nice is that at least they’re being nice this time around,” Damon said on Desus & Mero, this week. “They’re on vacation right now, but he still responded when I hit him up about the Red Sox yesterday…You still have priorities!”
Lopez and Affleck arent the only one’s on a boat trip. Rodriguez and sports reporter Melanie Collins were seen vacationing in St. Tropez, Monaco, and Spain this week. The couple was also seen hanging out with former NFL receiver Eric Decker and his wife, country musician Jessie James Decker.

Machine Gun Kelly performed a surprise set at Lollapalooza on Saturday, which was announced just one hour before he took the stage. Billboard reports that the Cleveland rapper performed on the Bud Light Seltzer Sessions stage to a crowd 20 times what the space permitted.
Kelly kicked off the set with his Tickets To My Downfall hit “Kiss Kiss.” He also performed a cover of Paramore’s iconic “Misery Business.” From there he moved through his tracks, “My Ex’s Best Friend,” “Bloody Valentine,” and “Drunk Face.”

In videos from backstage, Kelly was seen with his daughter as well as his partner, Megan Fox. Over the last several months, Fox and Kelly have been inseparable.
Fox recently fired back at fans who criticize her and Kelly’s relationship for their age gap.
“You want to talk about patriarchy? The fact that he’s four years younger than me, and people want to act like I’m dating a younger man. He’s 31, and I’m 35,” Fox explained. “Granted, he’s lived like he’s 19 his whole life, but he isn’t 19. No one would blink twice if George Clooney was dating someone four years younger. Four years? Go f*ck yourself. We would have been in high school together. That’s so ridiculous that women are treated that way.”
