3. SHE IS SIGNED TO J COLE’S RECORD LABEL

Ari signed to J Cole’s record label Dreamville in December 2015 after releasing her music on the internet in 2012. The singer admitted to thinking J Cole would not be keen to sign her at first. 

“I didn’t really think Cole was into me. He was cool, but he was talking about Earthgang the whole time. Earthgang is probably one of the most brilliant groups out, so I was definitely honored to be learning about them through Cole, but I was jealous. I was like, ‘Damn, he loves them! I wish he’d love me like that! Damn the shade.’ But it wasn’t like that at all. Cole is just hard to read sometimes,” she said to Billboard. 

4. SHE USED TO DISSECT FLIES AS A CHILD

Ari confessed that she would cut off the legs of flies when she was a child, in an interview with BuzzFeed. 

“When I was little, whenever there was a fly in the house, I would catch them and take their legs off. I can’t front, it was relaxing for me. I don’t know…back in the day when I was a little weird child, I liked when the flies would land on me. It felt nice on my skin. But I would end up catching them and taking their legs off,” she said. 

5. ARI LOVES INSTAGRAM

Ari also told BuzzFeed that the first app she checks in the morning is Instagram.
