She said that she did some self-reflection and realized that it was time to move on from that relationship.“You gotta also sometimes look in the mirror and reflect on yourself," she explained. "Like what are things that I could be doing differently in my life? I’m looking for a change, but what does that mean?”The relationship between Ciara and Future began in 2012. When she ended things in 2014, she realized that parenthood was a large reason why she left the rapper. “When you have a child, it’s very important to me; it’s no time to play around,” Ciara shared. “I am now responsible for another life, so what am I doing? How am I thinking that through?”She says she found her power to leave. “When you're tired, you're tired and don't nobody want to be tired all the time," Ciara expressed.

<a href="https://www.wbls.com/tag/ciara">Ciara</a> calls out commentator Jason Whitlock for his insensitivity toward the death of Tyre Nichols.While on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Whitlock spoke about Nichols’ death and put the blame on single Black mothers. “There is a racial element. And this is a story about young Black men and their inability to treat each other in a humane way,” he said. Whitlock also said, “Everybody involved in this on the street level was either 24 to 32 years old. Everybody. It was a group of young Black men, five-on-one. Looked like gang violence to me. It looked like what young Black men do when they’re supervised by a single Black woman.” He added, “And that’s what they got going on in the Memphis Police Department. They’ve elected some, or put some Black woman in charge of the police force, and we are getting the same kind of chaos and disunity and violence that we see in a lot of these cities run by single mothers.”Ciara quickly went on Twitter to call out Whitlock on his insensitive comments. The singer wrote, “.@whitlockjason as a black man to get on national tv and say something like this is irresponsible. A lot of amazing kids have come from single mothers. For you to also undermine single black women in the midst of this tragedy is so sad. This woman just lost her son! Do better!” https://twitter.com/ciara/status/1619425399766917122?s=46&t=b8ikoCkFC2ipjfHVvzm4vgOthers were quick to also put Whitlock in his place on social media as well. Bishop Talbert Swan said in a tweet, “White boys go into churches, supermarkets, schools, malls, and nightclubs, and violently murder innocent people. Jason Whitlock never blamed white women for this.”https://twitter.com/talbertswan/status/1619506068035624960?s=46&t=b8ikoCkFC2ipjfHVvzm4vgPoliticians such as Oklahoma State Representative Monroe Nichols and New York congressman <a href="https://twitter.com/JamaalBowmanNY/status/1619496687957065729?s=20&t=e6bRZq6BQnl7407U7hBQGw">Jamaal Bowman</a> also had some words for Whitlock. https://twitter.com/monichols/status/1619246013927264258?s=46&t=a-AzCyFsS9l7AnOkpkNY4QFive Black Memphis Police Officers fatally beat Nichols during a traffic stop. The Memphis police department released the<a href="https://vimeo.com/793456055"> bodycam footage</a> of the brutal attack, showing that he was beaten, tased, and pepper-sprayed. The officers were fired and charged with second-degree murder and other charges. Our thoughts and prayers are will his family and loved ones.

Ciara Receives Media Backlash Over New Skincare Line

The Grammy-winning singer released a booty-bouncin’ single that will surely be the hottest music video of the summer. Bringing back the essence of the 2000s and featuring her voluptuous body in butt cutouts, bodysuits, and leather bras, Ciara definitely got her audience’s attention. Just a couple of hours before the video premiered on YouTube, she made an Instagram post teasing the music video with the caption “18 years later… Back on top of the hood again. CiCi 2.0. Make That Thang #JUMP”. The picture showed Ciara showing off her colorful booty shorts that had her nickname “CiCi” written on the back as she sat on top of a car hood.https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwUywBLGmu/The twerk-alicious music video that featured the hip-hop group Coast Contra gave us a similar feel to her hits like “Goodies” and “1,2 Step.” While promoting her newly released song, Ciara told her Instagram audience that her mission is to make the world dance. The video starts off with Ciara dancing with the Winston Salem State cheer team. Once the song begins, Ciara dances throughout different scenes (too many to count!) for the duration of the four minutes. Different scenes include parking lots, power lines, the beach, street intersections, and other aesthetically pleasing locations. It was difficult to keep my eyes off of the screen because of how engaging Ciara’s music video was. With the smooth transitions and how seamlessly the camera moved with the dancers, it is no surprise to learn the amount of work that was put into the video. “Jump” is the R&B singer’s first single after signing a new label deal with Republic Records and Uptown Records in partnership with her own Beauty Marks Entertainment back in June. In a press statement, Ciara expressed that this new project marks an exciting new chapter in her music career. She stated, “I am grateful to be able to continue my mission of making the world dance with a team I admire, who are at the forefront of empowering artists.” With that said, let’s make sure we help Ciara reach her goal and make that thang “Jump”! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OByv5luEjc
