Ari Lennox Details Her Excruciating IUD Experience

by

It’s always a good idea to keep oneself protected with some form of contraception, but according to Ari Lennox, it doesn’t always come without a cost. The performer recently took to social media to share her own traumatic experience of getting an IUD inserted. Unfortunately, she wasn’t informed of the potential side effects that could arise after the procedure, which turned out to be incredibly painful for her.

“I almost collapsed. I did collapse. The little insert joint, collapsation,” she begins in a new clip. “First of all, I went by myself. I’m talking ’bout the sh*t women go through, y’all. Birth control is hard because you can do the hormonal ones; now you’re dealing with all kinds of hormonal stuff and you’re gaining weight and there’s a lot of emotions — I already have a lot of emotions.”

Ari Lennox Claims She “Collapsed” After Getting IUD

“The idea of like birth control on top of that? Oh my God. It’s literally giving The Purge,” she explained, further revealing why she opted for a nonhormonal birth control option. When she got the device inserted, however, it ended up being “the most painful” thing she had ever experienced. She then had to drive herself back home after the procedure, and was forced to make a pitstop at a nearby CVS to wait for the pain to subside.

“After that, I thought I could drive myself. I was in so much pain, I drove into a parking lot of the CVS,” she said, “I couldn’t move, I couldn’t drive home. I was in so much pain, I had to lay down until I felt better.” Luckily, a friend was eventually able to Uber to her to take her home, as she was in too much pain to do it herself. What do you think of Ari Lennox sharing her excruciating experience of getting an IUD? Do you agree with her take on birth control?

Star 2 Connects With Lil Poppa For New Song, “Pain”

by

Star 2 is well on his way to becoming a household name in music. He effortlessly blends elements of hip-hop, R&B and pop into a sound that’s all his own.

On Friday (January 6), he dropped off his first release of 2023, “Pain.” The song marks the second collaboration between him and up-and-comer Lil Poppa. The first of which is 2021’s “Real Life.” The new track arrives alongside an accompanying music video.

On “Pain,” the duo further showcases their undeniable chemistry. The song finds both artists addressing their respective pain and trauma, as well as their vices. “This pain I’m feelin’ inside, it comes and goes, the nightmare / If you were in my shoes, you’d feel the same way / It’s OK, it’s my pain, I’ll find a way to fix it,” Star 2 sings in the melodic hook.

Lil Poppa follows suit, candidly rapping, “I be tryna find myself ’cause I’m missin’ / Probably won’t be proud of myself ’til I fix it / I can tell I’m walkin’ through hell, but can’t feel sh*t / Probably from all of these drugs that I’m mixin’.” The twinkling piano melody and 808s provide them with an appropriate soundscape to express themselves over.

Although Star 2 is yet to release a full-length project, he’s continuing to stay relevant through singles like this, which flaunt his emotive lyrics. Furthermore, the list of the names he’s collaborated with is rather impressive as well, including Soulja Boy, Mozzy and Luh Kel. We’ll certainly be sure to be on the lookout for his debut project, which will hopefully arrive in the near future.

Quotable Lyrics:

Gotta roll me a wood just to feel good
Don’t ask me why I’m smokin’ hella kush
‘Cause this sh*t helps me cope with my pain
I don’t like takin’ drugs, but I feel like it’s the only way
