Ai Lennox wants to be a Disney princess and we are here for it!
According to Vibe she put in her bid “audition” for the role of Princess Tiana in the rumored live-action version of The Princess And The Frog.
Lennox tweeted, “Hi @Disney I’m Ari Lennox and I would love an opportunity to audition for Princess and The Frog in person. Here’s #AlmostThere by Anika Noni Rose.”

The Girls Night Out collaborator, who was among the first batch of recruitments, was said to have “an important voice,” according to Babyface.
He explained on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast, “I think that Ari’s voice is a voice that she can sing about many things that matter to a lot of people.
Her voice is an important voice, and I think that it’s just the beginning for her.”
Lennox isn’t the sole contender to portray Tiana in a remake of the Disney film, as Coco Jones, who also appeared on Babyface’s “musical gumbo,” is also on the list.
With the Disney kid’s return to fame as both a star on Bel-Air and as an award-winning singer, Lennox could face strong competition in her fellow R&B songstress.
Twitter has been retweeting the audition and pinging Disney since she dropped it.
Eat that up, Ari!!! ? pic.twitter.com/qhLmJVCxCl

Ari Lennox pulled up a mic and said let me show you how a real singer does it when it came to that princess & the frog convo. And I know that’s right.
