Ciara Praises Rihanna / Slams MTV Staff For Trying To Re-Heat Beef

Published: Monday 23rd May 2016 by Sam

Ciara is renown for her pleasant persona, but she also isn’t afraid shut down her critics.

Well remembered is her social media spar with Rihanna several years ago. And with both ladies in the house at last night’s Billboard Music Awards, MTV‘s social media operator attempted to microwave the drama.

See what was said below and how Ci, who co-hosted the show with Ludacris, reacted…

After re-tweeting the 2011 clash, said operator took a more direct approach, writing…

Following the show, CiCi clapbacked with…

Classy.

Being the fair and unbiased outlet we are, we too don’t understand why folk pit acts against one another.

Success comes in many flavours and both ladies are doing their respective thing.

Tidbit: MTV have since deleted the tweet.

    WAIT! Am I reading correctly?
    .
    Is this really coming from the same site that perpetually compares Rihanna and Beyoncé and has been doing so since 2009?
    .
    LMAO.

  5. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? May 23, 2016

    Such class, dignity, and character! Alright, Rih! Here’s your chance to squash the beef, finally extend an olive branch and help Ci out with a feature. PLEASE do it for the sake of black women working together and helping each other out.

    • HailBeysus May 23, 2016

      Well that’s never going to happen. We all know Thotanna is a Twitter thug! Can’t ruin the rep now can we. ?

      • wrosy3 May 23, 2016

        Rihanna left twitter along time ago she stop fighting with people so stfu bald b**** and drink bleach

      • HailBeysus May 23, 2016

        What’s that sis? I don’t speak 3rd world slum ?

    “Being the fair and unbiased outlet we are, we too don’t understand why folk pit acts against one another.”
    Seriously???
    Countless of articles of Mariah vs. Jennifer.

  7. Joan Hackett May 23, 2016

    She still didn’t say her name. I don’t understand this. Why is it so difficult to say someone name. All Ciara had to say was her name Rihanna that it

    • Lake Erie May 23, 2016

      Stfu! That was never the point!

  8. No favs, just here for the music May 23, 2016

    Ciara’s lovely. Nice to know their beef is over with and MTV is shady as hell for doing this

  9. Julien May 23, 2016

    “Unbiased?”

    LMAO! Every article begins and ends with Beyonka this, Beyonka that!

  10. MusicFan103 May 23, 2016

    I love how she still said “she” and not “Rih” or “Rihanna” can’t say it was characters because “Rih” would have sufficed

    • Sai May 23, 2016

      no need to say her name. we all know who they are talking about. no need to hold our hand through EVERYTHING.

      • Lake Erie May 23, 2016

        Exactly! ! Plus that was MTV’s punk ass point! Trying to mimic the future incident. The real point was we hadn’t seen the ladies come close to ANY interaction in YEARS. people be trying it smh ugh.

      • FAF May 23, 2016

        No. Y’all wanted her to say her name so you could make memes and she was too smart so you’re seething kiii

        #Classy

  11. Sai May 23, 2016

    Ciara can’t win. She praised her and some say “well she didn’t say her name” when everyone already know who’s she referring to. If she didn’t say anything, then it would be a problem. anyway, she did a fantastic job hosting and all of her looks were sickening . Her and Rihanna are both grown so hopefully they talked in private.

  12. BeyTheGr8 May 23, 2016

    Of course they would continue to pit 2 black women against one another by digging up old beef. What else is new? Unfortunately we do it to ourselves by pitting Rih and Bey against one another, like only 1 woman of color can be on top…#Sad

  13. Cinnamon Girl May 23, 2016

    Didn’t I tell you folks that people were still picking at Ciara? But she handled it like a classy G, even saying “God bless” at the end. Cici, don’t waste anymore energy on this B.S. Keep it pushing

  14. Fans of both May 23, 2016

    Clearly they wasn’t there to shade each other when they showed Rihanna after Luda mentioned her legs she said I like her legs and when Luda said Rihanna name Ci was next to him dancing and cheerful as in they both aren’t trying to have a 20 year beef for no real reason

    • Lake Erie May 23, 2016

      Exactly!

  15. Lake Erie May 23, 2016

    People know they be trying to reach! The beef is old as dirt. The ladies are over it. They both obviously made that clear last night. I saw rihanna say she liked her legs. It was cute and I also saw Ciara cheering her on. That was cute also. So glad it’s over. Despite MTV and the Trolls on TGJ trying to reach for something last night.

  16. Del May 23, 2016

    Classy read CiCi!

  17. maluce May 23, 2016

    MTV was petty for that however, let’s be clear, there was definitely direct shade…on both ends. Luda included too. They did not acknowledge her AMAZING performance (which os odd, because they DID acknowledge everyone else’s)…I was stunned how good and clear Rihanna sounded. Rihanna had the best performamce on the show. Hands down. Hell I’m still in shock amd awe.

  18. Cinnamon Girl May 23, 2016

    Dear Rhitarded Navy,
    Please stop harassing Cici on her social media account. How old are you folks? Do you even have lives? Do you realize how pathetic you guys look by harassing this woman all day yesterday and this morning? You Rhitards remain pressed while Ciara remains unbothered

    • Sarah Alexis May 23, 2016

      It’s no different from what the C Squad does to future or even on this site. LOL get over it.

      • Sarah Alexiso May 23, 2016

        Ooohh I can’t forget to mention the time C Squad harassed Monica on IG and Twitter. #GlassHouses. Sit down ma’am.

    • Cinnamon Girl May 23, 2016

      What’s the point of harassing Ciara when she has done anything to Rihanna? Get a life, Rhitards

  19. Coolness May 23, 2016

    Their alleged ‘beef’ stemming from that twitter spat in 2011 always annoyed me because I like both ladies. When Ciara was announced as the host of the show (she did a great job) and Rih was announced as a featured performer (she slayed Love On The Brain), I knew someone was gonna try and pull something funny. When Ludacris complimented Ciara’s legs, the camera panned to Rihanna’s face (in an attempt to be shady) and you could see her clearly see her mouth that she too was appreciative of Cici’s gams. I think they’ve both moved passed all that immaturity and pettiness. Chile, these Black women in mainstream music gotta show support for one another because they’re damn near being erased at this point.

  20. josh May 23, 2016

    Fair and unbiased TGJ? Ha-Ha. You ‘pick fights’ all the bloody time! We come here to get the news, not your judgements.

  21. Jay Jay May 23, 2016

    Their beef was so long ago.. Both ladies have moved on and matured since then. I don’t think either will be “friends” again, but I’m sure they will continue to respect each other.

  22. Jay Jay May 23, 2016

    And I think that was Rih’s best performance. She did an amazing job!!! Love her

  23. Jay Jay May 23, 2016

    But I can’t fault MTV for trying to put them against each other, both Stan bases does that daily.

    We all have to do better 🙂

  24. Qaz May 23, 2016

    Look at the size of Rihanna’s forehead compared to Ciara’s! #SORRYBUTIHADTO

    • Love May 23, 2016

      Look at the size of Rihanna’s bank account compare to Ciara, sorry had to do it ??

  25. SoFresh May 23, 2016

    This is so old! Rihanna even mouthed that Ciara legs look nice at the beginning of the show when Luda was complimenting Ciara legs. She said and I quote “they do look nice” with a smile at that.

  26. cocobutta May 23, 2016

    Lmao alright now Sam ?.
    Chileeeeeee here’s a piece of forbidden fruit ?.
    Now if you bite it you’ll relapse like Chris Breezy and those palm trees of the Shaderhood will return.

  27. Smh May 23, 2016

    Lmao MTV knows the real deal. They spoke the truth.

  28. Ayyseify May 23, 2016

    Mtv that was so 2011 STAPH!

  29. FC/JC May 23, 2016

    Ciara continues to exude class & sophistication….. And people including MTV, just cannot take it.
    The incident that took place was ancient and iconic pop culture history, But every time these 2 are named, does it have to be the same thing, they both have done so much after that damn thing happened.

    People just love to live in the past.
    Congrats Ci, And that was actually the first time i can say Rihannas vocals surpassed my expectations of what she would give, Ci told no lies, the vocal performance she gave was amazing.

  30. Reddish tran ivy blokz Need UK timely May 23, 2016

  31. Me May 25, 2016
