That Grape Juice caught up with Bow Wow late last week. Here in London town for his ‘Underrated Tour’, the ever-candid Cash Money rapper chatted it up with us about many a topic including the label drama of former beau Ciara, Chris Brown’s new hair, music, movies, and more.

Good interview. Genuine for the most part lol. Surprised you didn’t ask him to state why Ciara is a hands down better performer. I mean the answer is obvious but I know yall like that shade.
ugh, he is TOO cocky! i used to love him so much, but his attitude/personality is such a turn off that i don’t even wanna support his music anymore. he needs a huge slice of humble pie. and i hope he soon realizes that a bunch of movies means nothing, he acts like he won an Oscar. the only smart thing he said in this whole interview is about Ciara’s label situation.
btw, he’s out of his damn mind if he thinks he’s better than Jay-Z. GTFOH.
CIara went too hollywood and shes a flooooooooooooooooop! Cant sing to save her life , cant beleve she messed up mjs song heal the world , major fail
yes CIARA will kill riri on stage!!! bow wow got that right HANDS DOWN!!!
GaGa B****** 2011!!!
“HANDS DOWN CIARA!”
I Wonder who he was shading with that ….”I have friends who can sell records, but cant tour” comment?? hmmm i think i have an idea lol
and did he just call Ciara a young legend? o_O

Yass i love bowwow f*** what ppo have tew say if u don’t like it move around. Love ciara,rihanna both but if i had tew choose it would be cici hands down!
It’s funny people are mad that he’s telling the truth. Ciara is more talented than a lot of chicks out. But, people want to hold her to her record sales like it’s her fault. People act like she doesn’t have the potential. Even in this era, she has “Ride” as a hit, without major promo, & it being banned. I mean you ever heard what a real singer is? Someone who can sign without all the gimmick, glitz, glam, background vocalist, layering, etc. & still whoo you. If you take away what all these top selling artist have BACKING them right now, what could you really say for them? They look good? If they had none of that & went to a talent show, would they still be that “it” factor? Probably not. So people can shade her all they want too, but truth is truth. & Bow was speaking great for his behalf & hers. I actually like him after this interview, not even on the Ciara tip. People kill me thinkin a newbie comes in, & what someone has worked so hard to accomplish now means nothing. Bow is out there grinding, he’s became a better person, & so is Ci. I wish him much success. DEAD @ him thinkin about Lil Wayne & Jay-Z, & now he said Nicki. I was dead on that tip. JAY-Z >>>>>>>
Umm..No way is he on or near the level of Jay z..I give it to him when he says no other rapper is doing movies as much as him but he also has yet to drop another hot album..Ciara I would agree is a good performer..Rihanna still needs to perfect hers but they both can’t sing to well.
I also think he threw shade at Rihanna by saying Ciara was better due to his 1. friendship with Chris Brown 2.He at one point in time like Omarion and Chris Brown (who ended up with her) was trying to get with her and she wasn’t feeling him. 3.due to the whole Chrihanna gate.
I can’t see anything
RIHANNA IS A FACE. RIHANNA IS A BODY. RIHANNA IS AN IMAGE. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT SHE’S DONE. SHE’S ONLY SOLD AROUND SIX MILLION RECORDS IN THE US AND LADY GAGA HAS SOLD MORE THAN HER ON ONE ALBUM. CIARA IS MORE TALENTED THAN RIHANNA, LOOKS BETTER THAN HER BUT HER TEAM ISN’T AS STRONG AS RIHANNA’S. IS CIARA MUCH MORE TALENTED? NO, BUT, HER VOICE IS DECENT AND IT IS PRETTY. FOR EVERYONE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT RIHANNA’S MANY AWARDS, ACCOLADES, AND ACHIEVEMENTS, CHECK OUT THE BILLBOARD 200 THIS WEEK. REAL TALENT IS ON TOP. ADELE HAS BEEN #1 FOR TWO WEEKS. SHE SNATCHED THE BEST NEW ARTIST GRAMMY A FEW YEARS BACK. SHE’S GOT NOMINATIONS FOR VOCAL PERFORMANCES. DOES RIHANNA? NO. EVERY GRAMMY AWARD SHE HAS IS BECAUSE OF RECORDS WITH JAY-Z AND THE NEXT ONE SHE GOT WAS FOR A DANCE PERFORMANCE WHICH TECHNICALLY IS ABOUT THE PRODUCTION OF THE SONG. HAS RIHANNA EVER HAD A NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN SIX YEARS AND WITH FIVE ALBUMS? HAS HER ALBUM EVER SOLD THAT FAST? AND YET, SHE’S GOT NUMBER ONE SINGLES BUT LESS THAN STELLAR ALBUM SALES. ADELE DOESN’T NEED TO DO ANYTHING THAT RIHANNA DOES TO SELL RECORDS. ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS SING. RIHANNA HAS TO BE NAKED AND HAVE A WHOLE TEAM PUT HER CAREER TOGETHER. WHY? BECAUSE SHE CAN’T SING OR DANCE. AT LEAST CIARA HAS A DECENT AND PRETTY VOICE AND AMAZING DANCE SKILLS. SHE CAN PUT ON A SHOW. WHEN YOU CAN SING WITH NO MUSIC AND HAVE EVERYONE LOVE IT, THEN YOU’RE A SINGER. RIHANNA IS A MODEL WITH A MIC. I DON’T CARE WHAT HER STANS SAY. SHE’S A SINGLES ARTIST AND NO ONE IS TAKING HER PERFORMACES AND VOICE INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE HER SONGS ARE ON TOP AND THEY’RE CATCHY BUT THEY’RE ALSO CRAPPY FROM TIME TO TIME AND SHE CAN’T PERFORM THEM LIVE AND HER VIDEOS ARE ALSO GARBAGE TO MATCH. KEEP LOVING THE IMAGE, THE NAME, THE SINGLES, THE LOOK, THE BODY, BECAUSE THAT’S ALL SHE’LL EVER BE. MS. MODEL WITH A MIC DOESN’T HAVE A VOICE. PERIOD. SHE NEVER WILL. SHE CAN’T SING.
@k! im not mad at her success but who was talking about sells thats all you got? lol
stan wars not fun or funny anymore its annoying now yall took the fun out of it………..
Is anybody else having trouble seeing the video? I can’t see anything 🙁
CANT VIEW
The video isn’t working for me too 🙁
It’s not working for me
@IKnowTheTruth
So true! Rihanna is jus an industry chick. The black Ke$ha.
@IKNOWTHETRUTH
Darlin, are you ok? Calm down….you seem a little pressed?? Just Sit Down next to Cedric, You’ll be fine. rofl
http://twitpic.com/2h2q45/full
And DEAD at some people responding to themselves, its obvious your more then one person boo. its ok.
…and ive heard the Black Madonna, kesha? not at all.
!not working?
Even though i can’t see the video but from what i’m reading from other responses yeah this dude right here is straight up delusional. He really needs some help. This n**** walking around thinking he’s better then JAYZ???? Ciara, Young LEGEND that’s what he said???? yeah he’s a n**. Something is seriously wrong with him. Either that or he must be really high that day. And i used to love and support that dude for 11 years but s*** no more…… Too evil and cocky for me. And most of all he’s a liar and especially when it comes down with his personal life.
Whenever he decided to sit his evil ass down and get a piece of humble and graceful pie that’s all he needs. I agree with that other comment. That’s all he needs.
and the sad part, i used to be one of his biggest fans and his true fan and his only true fan. He really needs help seriously. But i still love him i really do deep inside i really do but his attitude and his evil ways that really turns me completely off. And he’s a heartless cruel person. He is soo evil. Whoa he really needs to stop. That’s why i stopped supporting him. So sad but it’s true. I don’t think he will never ever change.
Yawn…Bow wow is far from humble. He’s overly cocky and thats why he couldnt give away a mixtape nowadays. This whole ciara vs rihanna thing ugh!! Leave it up to bloggers to pit everybody against each other like usual. ciara can dance her ass and atleast she sounds the same. rihanna is okay her fashion is the only thing that saves her plus her personality.Not that I have anything against rihanna. I still like GGGB. But her stans make it horrible honestly numbers and hits mean nothing when the there clearly is a big flaw in the talent
First off, this has nothing to do with the post, but my heart and my prayers go out to everyone affected by the earthquake and tsunamis.
Now, on to the topic of the post, Bow Wow is kind of cocky, but I guess that is how pretty much every rapper is really when you think about it. I just hope that he comes out with better music, because, to me at least, I haven’t really liked much of what he has came out with lately. I can’t wait to see Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Big Happy Family” though!
Like his opinion on Kim and Nicki.
lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rihanna stans are maddddd lol choke b****** hands down ciara Rihanna you dont wanna see ci on or off the stage lol
He thinks he’s better then Jay Z or Wayne is he outta of his f****** mind???? WTF?????
“lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rihanna stans are maddddd lol choke b****** hands down ciara Rihanna you dont wanna see ci on or off the stage lol”
*DEAD*
UGLY F**.
IRRELEVANT FLOP.
DISGUSTING LOOKING TROLL
AND HE NEEDS TO JUST COME OUT. F****** LOSER.
YOU STILL RAP? AHAHAH F*** OFF
Finally saw the video. Well at least he got my Girl Nicki right!!!! If he said Lil Kim he would have been slapped. Back to Bow he needs to start acting humble. I just wish the old Bow Wow come back. I’m not feeling this New Bow Wow. i’m not feeling him at all. If he keeps acting like this he going to lose alot of fans but let him keep on.
damn Bow Wow eyes r too damn s*** 🙂
lol i totally agree with him hands down Ciara is a better performer:)
Bow Wizzle keep ur head high n keep bringing out good music n
F*** THEM HATERS CAUSE THEY BROKE
Why in the f*** would Grapejuice do an interview with a has been rapper???? He’s career is done!!!! Bow Wow is finished. All them movies he be making don’t mean s***. He’s done. I can see he won an oscar or something but this dude can’t even Act. I saw that Lottery Movie is a waste of money. His music i can’t even go there…. Bow Wow is done enough said.
1). Bow is so damn cocky lmao, i love him anyway though. and 2). Someone please tell me Mr. Moss got a hair cut since this interview was done? Because i simply WILL NOT deal with him walking around lookin like he just woke up and didnt bother brushin his hair.
Other than that, great interview! 🙂
Ciara is great, I wont deny that! But honestly she isn’t the BEST in the game! I’m not going to say any names but there are artist out there whose talent is so good they sell albums and sell-out tours……There are chicks out there that WOWS people with their music enough it makes people buy the cd and want to see them LIVE – and not running out of breath and sounding like they having a asthma attack! He was right albulm sales dont mean too much but then he brought up the whole tour thing…..Its sad when someone sells more dvd copies of their tour than someones albums….throw that shade! Round 4 – Get Ready!
lol and bow wow picking the whisperer
criticial acclamied riri vocals>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reviews stating thin vocals cici
lmfao at “hands down Ciara” hahaha soooooooooooo funny
he was looking like u really asked me that…rihanna live is a joke.
lmao
ooo mannnnn
I’m with @Keesha. Pray for everyone in that situation. Not only was it unfortunate, they lost people they truly love and care about…
Okay, I enjoyed the interview. And I agree with the others. Ciara has the talent, body, personality, its just her team sucks ass. If Ciara had Rihannas team, trust me she would be in a bigger position shes in now…
when will you lie bow!!!!!! about ciara u are right no chick can perform the way she does at the level she does
Bow Wow is too cute. It’s a damn shame he’s a pocket with his little self! 🙂
Ummm, Tyler Perry is a whiny little b*+@% but I’m sure the movie will offer some comedic moments! That Chris Brown question was RANDOM…LOL! What was he suppose to say about his hair??? You better tell these FOOLS about record sells vs. TRUE DAMN TALENT! You can say whatever you want about Ciara but that girl can dance. She puts on one of the most entertaining shows of any (besides Beyonce) female artist in the business!
Answers:
1) LOL….Chris Brown stop playing! Although when he was doing his thing O was good!
2) Lil Weezy stop playing! Gayz is no MC he’s barely a rapper!
3) Lil Kim!!
4) Finally he got one right, CIARA!!
5) Kanye!!!
@SAM, that wasn’t a half bad interview! 🙂
okay now that i have listed to the whole thang…i dont think he cocky…
and he aint said he betta than JAY…he was just tryna avoid the Q.
If he feels that Ci is a young Legend, that’s his opinion, which he is entitled to..
I dont know why people stay hating on anything other people say or do.
U think Ri is, then yes thats how u feel/see it.
Filming “Recalled” and another later on, that movie money keep piling up , u aint gotta care about haters.
Bow do your thang, keep getting money and let the haters stay throwing shade…
u getting money though, and THATS wassup!!!
@Tae Madden
There are chicks out there that WOWS people with their music enough it makes people buy the cd and want to see them LIVE
********
I think he means as far as a live performers! Ciara really can dance. She like Janet Jackson and Beyonce, can really entertain a crowd via singing and dancing!
However you are right, there are chicks who “WOW” and fool the masses into buying their music with industry tricks (synthesized voice machines, voice overs i.e. another singer actually sings the lead etc) and favorable media attention. The problem is that once you see them live you want to burn both eyes and cut off both ears!
Its bedtime Young Lady
Bow wow doesn’t think he is better than Jayz or lil wayne.. He was simply trying to avoid the question.. Place yourself in his shoes, you will realize just how difficult those questions where..
LOL……Wait, is someone really quoting what’s her name’s fixed media created, sympathy receiving so called accomplishments? The only person that would call that Grammy “performance” critically acclaimed is Ray Charles and he’s blind and dead!
Ciara is a better performer period! Who is allowed to perform on award shows has nothing to do with talent! The fixed media and tightly controlled music industry dictates that!
ppl r hetting this damn whole interview twisted BOW WOW never said he was better than JAY Z or LIL WAYNE. jeehz stop hating
IDK why I laughed when I saw his TGJ Pics… 😆
How Sam does it is beyond me, This is a great blog but Its not even that popular 😐
I guess this site is big enough to fill 1 or 2 arenas though 🙂
Still waiting for Sam to finally land a Beyonce or Mariah Carey, The best person he ever interviewed was FRANK GATSON & hes not even a real Celebrity 😐
@Dave
100% cosign every word before the Joe Camel reference! 🙂
He said Ciara is the only female that can perform and take it to the next level. Really?
Because the Queen would put her to shame. Ciara may be a better dancer. But the QUEEN is a way better vocalist and she can also dance making her an overall better performer.
I think he put Ciara WAYYYY TOO HIGHLY lol
There are better Female performers, bigger & better talents than her namely BEYONCE & JANET!!!! Ciara is just a DANCER & shes FLOPPING for a reason.
LOVE BOW WOW, still has a S*** voice. Been following his career since 99 lol…
& @Rihanna Fans PLEASE DO NOT put…
Rihanna & “criticial acclamied” in the SAME sentence! ESPECIALLY when you CANT EVEN SPELL IT!!!!
@K…I don’t know if you killed the haters….But you definitely killed those of us who love correct spelling:
“critical aclaiemed”
“sould out dates”
“LA STAMPLES” Center
“200 million$ budjet”
My fave…..”critical acclaimed by the TIME” ( You mean The Time with Morris Day?)
Thanks @K……That was RICH!!!!!!lol
Bow Wow is a has been and is way too cocky.
I am sick of TGJ interviews being shady. You guys are such messy queens. Stop trying to get people to talk s*** about each other. I liked how Bow Wow avoided some unnecessary beefs with his answers. Of course he would say Ciara he has loyalty there.
That Ciara sooooo got Bow Sprung!!!!!!! It’s like everrrrr since she came to his premiere. Lawd!!!!! If he thinks Ciara is the young Legend in the f***** game then ask this question Bow Why the hell she flopping then????? Also did JIVE records dropped her????? On top of that he thinks he better then JAYZ ????? And another thing when you do interviews look more presentative. You look like you just came out from a f****** bed and haven’t comb/brush your hair in years. What is wrong with this dude?????
I mean he’s talking like Ciara can have a worldwide tour hell Ciara can’t do a 3 CITY Date Tour. BOW WOW why don’t you go bump p****’s with Omariorn you hairy b*** F**!
why TGJ ALWAYS DO INTERVIEWS WITH HAS-BEENS OR IRRELEVANT PEPOLE THEY ONLY ARTIST THAT WAS RELEVANT OR LEFT HUGE MARK IN POP CULTURE THAT YOU GUYS INTERVIEWED WAS SHAKIRA SMDH STEP UR GAME UP
“Mr. 106” looks like a child.
I was a little excited for “Underrated”, not sure now.
@S***
I thought you only make unnatractive pictures of Bey your Gravatar? Lol, that’s actually a good one.
S*** was dry!!
*laughs at the rhifund stans*
All i can do is think about why is he bleaching his skin so much everything else i can careless about he is more eye candy than any thing else put him on mute cut his hair and that is all
Ciara shits on BeYAWNce bottomline.
Riherpe has NEVER had a great performance…. Hell even Present-Day Britney shits on her.
Stay mad at the fact that Ciara has sold records went on tours while you are sitting behind your PC on a blog doing nothing with your life discussing her.
Ciara is way better then rihanna So BOW WOW HAVE THAT RIGHT HANDS DOWN CIARA
@CI MINAJ
How in the WORLD does Ciara s*** on Beyonce?
@KAVION MY OPINION f**.
DEAL WITH IT.
ALL THIS TALK ABOUT CIARA IS THIS AND RIH RIH IS THAT, BUT WHO IS ON TOP? IF CIARA WAS ALL THAT, THEN WHERE WERE HER FANS WHEN SHE NEEDED THEM? HOPPING AND GRINDING ON STAGE DIDN’T HELP HER ONE BIT. WHAT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO IS THAT THE MUSIC IS WHAT COUNTS. IF IT DIDN’T THEN CIARA WOULD BE ON TOP NOW WITH HER DANCING .
@ please and if talent mattered Rihanna wouldn’t be where she is now
First, all of Rihanna’s Grammy’s are for being a featured act. None of her tours gross that much money like Beyonce, Gaga, Britney or Pink. She’s not a great or good performer. All of her tours get average reviews. Just because Rihanna has headlined a lot of tours, sold a lot albums and has a lot of hit singles, that does not make her talented at all. Yeah Ciara may not be as big as Rihanna, but talent wise, Ciara shits on Rihanna my miles. Ciara not only sings and dances at the same time, which is something Rihanna cannot do, she also writes and produces her songs, choreographs her dance moves and has written for other artists [Fantasia, Tiffany Evans, MJB, ATL]. Rihanna fans are cocky because Rihanna is the biggest female in the world right now, but once Beyonce and Gaga come back around and show her who’s really #1, they’ll get quiet again. Ciara is a young legend. Ciara really had to and has to work for success, while Rihanna’s was and is still being handed to her. We all know why Def Jam has her release an album every year, because the moment she starts to fade out of view, her popularity and success will drop like raindrops. Ciara is far respected as a singer/writer/performer and overall artist than Rihanna. You know what, let me stop, because I don’t want a Rihanna stan to get upset over the truth.
this wasn’t a bad interview i don’t know why people are so quick to put this man down.
@CI MINAJ
Lmao, I was just curious 🙂
Did I p*** you off? LOL
While Ciara is often mocked because of her record sales, that solely isn’t the reason why she isn’t successful very successful with her music ventures.
wow, xclusive pic of christina aquilera very drunk at http://www.kelsnetwork.b*******.com
@ Keesha Yes! Definitely, keeping Japan in my prayers! Thanks 4 reminder ! 🙂
@ Dave, You are always 100! I agree, that Ciara is honestly the better performer. I’ve liked Ciara since “Promise”, but I’m not biased. Her talent is undeniably awesome. Her energy, her abilities and level of entertainment is difficult to match. She deserves so much more success. I’ve developed some respect for what Rihanna bring to the table musically, but she’s not the artist Cici is, in my opinion. Still many people focus on sells and forget that label support for certain artist in this industry is EVERYTHING! It can make or break you!
Bow wow’s crazy to think he tops Jay or Weezy. He’s too cocky and him and Trey are two peas in a pod sometimes! I do consider what he’s done in his career, he’s had his moment – a few hits and some light roles in a few movies. He’s right about having longevity, but he does need to humble himself. Still like someone said earlier, it’s awful to just praise the newbies that come along as if no one has done what they have before and forget about the artist that put in the work and manage to buid careers and remain relevant. Staying in the game 10,20,30 years is the biggest achievement an artist can have. Some people only have 2 big albums and are label Queens, then fall off! What’s legendary about that?
This was a good interview! (Just don’t know about the hair question though…)
@ Dion-ish, I was wondering who sold the 10 million copies too (that can’t tour)… Idk, why Usher comes to mind – but that makes no sense at all.
ThePagewithroyalkev.b*******.com
ciara is a better performer than rihanna hands down! And thats a FACT not an opinion. Rihyodel stans stay delusional. Queen bey will wipe the floor with both of them put together.
@TONES
Chileee PLEASE!
First off, Rihanna has a Grammy for Only Girl (thats not a featured track boo boo) and um Umbrella was HER single? she wasnt the featured artist. And Yea She won grammys off Run This Town as well (which she was a featured artist) BUT she also wrote her verse in Run This Town so uh yea? Its still HER grammy! So were is Ciara’s Grammys? What are they for? Does she even have one for her records? OK.
And Far as Touring, Dont TALK if you cant put YOUR fav up against her Boo. This is about Ciara/Rihanna not Pink, Gaga, Selena Gomez, Tyra Banks, OPRAH or anybody else! Rihanna does well with her tours? And didnt Ciara open for her during the GGGB Tour? Chile SIT!! And Lets not Forget She’s JUST now wrapping up the LGOE Tour and Starting the LOUD tour soon which is already sold out in more then half its dates and a Record EIGHT FREAKIN SHOWS at the O2 Arena Schedule’s? Can your fav? Like seriously this is TEW easy….Just Stop!
And Far as Singing, No Question Rihanna has wayyy more vocal talent then Ciara! I Cant even remember a single Live performances were Ciara hasn’t lip singed! And when she doesnt lip sing she sounds like a fukin 10yr old Chorus student w/ no range! *How DARE she butcher MJ’s song* at least when Rihanna sings songs from her idol (Bob marley) she does it justice.
And Gaga And Beyonce have no effect over Rihanna’s Success boo….She has a solid spot in the Pop Industry….its Rihanna, Gaga, and Beyonce’s careers that puts Ciara’s AWAY in a manager! ….Ciara prob had the oppurtinity to have a spot, but Gaga straight dominated it!
…And Rihanna is surely Loved and Respected in the industry by Plenty! Madonna, Prince, Adele, Beyonce, Brandy, Britney Spears, Mary J Blige, Xtina, Bon Jovi…Just to name A FEW!!
IM DONE.
some of yall are so dumb and cant hear well he only said himself becuz he didn wanna choose between the two! not becuz he thought he was better then them. and while yall always comin for ciara she is a better performer. and of course yall gotta bring up other people when it clearly was about ci and ri lol pathetic. dont get mad at him becuz u dont agree anybody in the world (except rihanna stans) will agree ciara is a better performer!! rihanna i just a pretty face. tell me this what is rihanna known for as artist?? being a vocalist or a performer or both?? when she goes to interviews what do they say besides your so pretty??
I will not have his flop goblin lookin ass shade Rihanna AND Beyonce in favor of Ciara’s stiff ass, recycled backbend and choreography from 2004. How can he say Ciara is “on another level” with a straight face? Girl, what level is that? Because these days Kim Kardashian can chart higher than her. The true tea is that neither him or Ciara can sell records or tour so he can sit down. And who cares if you’ve been in the game for a long time? Nobody can tell because you’re the same height you were when you were 12.
Chile………..and can Sam please sit down with someone relevant? Or are you going to interview Teairra Mari next……….
why is it that every rapper out here….good or not, can talk about themselves and their greatness all day but becasue of one or two comments you didnt like Bow wow is coming off cocky??? Bow wow is CORRECT He has done alot in his 11 year career. These new n***** have NO staying power. The problem with bow is his albums, he is a singles artist JUST LIKE RIHANNA IS who i like. Bow is still loved and still has fans. I hate when people think because THEY arent checking for someone that EVERYBODY isn’t. There are millions upon millions of people in this world………50 or 50 comments on TGJ dont solidify whether or not he has fans. If this was coming from someone else noone would have anything to say. Bow has had some arrogant comments in the past so but now he has to pay for it everytime he makes a comment about anything like he isnt allowed to have an opinion. He bigged himself up in this video but he gave major props to others as well and keep his responses mature. The Bow wow shade is getting old…….Bow has come very far and made it longer then alot of rappers. I sound like a stan (which i am far from) but you all kill me, now had he said Rihanna hands down somebody would have a problem with that, if he said f*** nicki i got kim someone would have a problem with that. You can’t win for losing and all for a bunch of non important, no life or career having losers. Thats why i could never be a celeb, its hard trying to impress a bunch of bitter b******.
@ROYALKEV
Im Not Going to say WHO i think it is because i dont want to start ANY drama with its stans and i actually like it a little as of now…but he did say ONE of HIS friends, sooo….
http://i25.tinypic.com/30kznr8.jpg
he is looking A MESS! …..And he is too arrogant. lol sdfsdfsd
and he never said he was better then Wayne and Jay-z……he just didnt want to choose between the two. TGJ was being messy asking him those questions anyway, and he answered them now he has to look like the bad guy….get the Fiduck outta here
“& @Rihanna Fans PLEASE DO NOT put…
Rihanna & “criticial acclamied” in the SAME sentence! ESPECIALLY when you CANT EVEN SPELL IT!!!!”
*DEAD* EXACTLY!!!
i just gotton through watching the interview from the teaser i saw. I don’t know what’s with this dude. Bow Wow AINT S*** NOW and that’s all i gots to say. He went from multi million selling to a struggling has been rapper. That’s right he’s a has been. On this interview he talks about NO RAPPER CAN’T DO WHAT I DO RAPPING PLUS ACTING. Ice Cube does it, Common does it, even Queen Latifah does it even though she doesn’t rap as much. What the hell he talking about. He thinks he better then JAYZ what???? This n**** is a f****** has been and who gives a f***. He be twitter tweeting absolutely nothing. He’s all washed up and i don’t give a damn what his fans gots to say. He’s finished. He really ruined his life. With that movie Tyler PERRY his characters happens to him in real life. He doubt with 3 women Ciara, Angela Simmons, Then Miss Joie chick and she is carrying somebody’s baby. all that at the age of 24 years old. He really has fallen. Can’t get over his ex, still f****** with Angela knowing his baby his on his way. Once again that chick is carrying somebodies baby believe that. This n**** still crying talking about he don’t get respect. This n**** was the one who never writes his damn lyrics but yet he still wants credit GTFO. Why he hating on Rihannia for??? She very popular and talented and can sell more records then Bow and his ex Ciara combined so why he thinks sooo damn highly of Ciara??????? This n**** is straight up crazy and delusional but God Bless Him.
Ci Minaj.
Beyonce has a record deal WITH 16 Grammys Ciara works at McDonalds with GREASE STAINS on her shirt DEAL
Interesting Interview all of his answers def had me wondering!
He’s on or better then Wayne or Jay?Strike One
Ciara(who I use to love) a young legend? Strike two
Ciara is a better performer then Rih and can take it to another level?
STRIKE 3
Sit down! Ciara can dance(no question) but vocally Rihanna will/has slayed herr! Have you not watched her 2010 AOL sessions?Her performances of Russian Roulette, Hell some of her earlier performances of What’s My Name? Stfu if Ciara was such a better performer then shed surely get more support for that! People give her cred cuz she can dance but she can’t outsing Rihanna and that is a Fact! Where is her AOL sessions? Has she ever performed a slow(midtempo/ballad) on late night television? Thank You! Rihannas voice is Mediocre!(Truth) but she’s versatile unlike Ci! #thatsall#
He spoke the truth, haterz are hearing something else! IBow- wow is cocky but he is intellegent—-> he could be a politician…tactical answers and smart ones too. Hi can’t obviously answer the question about Breezy & Omarion; those are his homies. Dilemma to be honest about lil Drake / Kanye and Kim /Nicki…I know what his problem is—> record label
The easiest for him and any honest artist is that of RiH & Ciara & i 100% agree with him. I am not a fan or a hater of either but Bow Wow…..i wish him the best.
@DION-ISH
b****, you need to stop riding ciara’s ass. you look pathetic
i love how the rihanna navy cant spell 🙂
Dont like Bow Wow, but that was a good interview, except for the Jay Z part.
Bow wow has been out for awhile and hit his peak almost 10 years ago. Not sure why he’s so cocky. And anyone can do the type of movies he does. He’s not on no “Black Swan” type s***! So bye! Common does it better!
Ciara is obviously a better entertainer then Rihanna. Its also obvious that millions more would love to simply watch Rihanna walk back in forth. I’m a fan a both. Now to the Rihanna fans. Don’t get mad when people say Cici is better then Ri. Let them think it. However if they do that. Then attacking her double flops are fair game. Rihanna’s lowest selling album “Music of the Sun” has sold more then both Fantasy Ride, Basic instinct, and both of Bow Wow’s recent albums combined. Ciara’s first album was a success tho!
@Dion-ish I think he means can’t tour like is not a good performer and can’t hold there own during a tour. not sales wise
F*** RIHANNA AND THE GOAT SHE ROAD ON TO AMERICA
i cant stand cocky people like him
Ciara is a great performer no one can take that from her. It just seems like beyond the angry hate Rihanna urban crowd, No one wants to see it. LMAO! Bow and Ciara have now had several flops. They will downplay the importance of an album being certified to save face and, That would be the case for alternative, neo soul, or indie musicians. However, Ciara and Bow wow are mainstream artists and “were” considered A list celebrities. In this case having a certified album is very important. No one has to go Platinum but Gold certification at the least should be attainable by them. Ciara recently touted touring as an alternative to selling records. But has yet to headline her own tour. Yet she opened the tour for Rihanna and Britney but could stick around longer then a few dates. Does Ciara really think she will be making Madonna’s 200 million by opening up for Rihanna and Britney Spears? I guess thats Ciara’s definition of “branding herself” “branding” LMAO.
Rihanna cant sing live and can barely dance- you damn right Ciara is a better performer. And for all you lil kids i doubt im sure he knows hes not better than wayne or jay z- he probably jus doesnt want to choose or have to say who the best is!.. and yes Nickis hot rite now and making history kim is outta work lol and shes hating but for no reason cause at the end of the day like he siad shes always going to be a legend so she need to sit down and stop making herself look stupid! ….great interview bow!
@QUEENBEY
ciara has headlined her own tour in the U.S back in 2006
THERE IS A RUMOR IN THE INDUSTRY THAT MS BOW WOW WAS DROPPED FROM CASH MONEY. HMMMMM
Who gave Bow the Omarion and Chris question knowing he is bffs with both? But come on now Bow you know damn well the answer was Chris. I was always sick of Omarion calling himself “KIng Of Dance” I’m like first of all no the king of dance is MJ and then the runners up will defiently not be you! And did he say outta Jay and Wayne he was the better MC so he didn’t have to choose? Then he couldn’t choose between Kanye and Drake. KANYE! Bow if you weren’t cute as f*** I would drag your ass right now for your answers.
Oh and no offense but I think he should focus MAINLY on acting. It looks like it goes better for him then his music career these days. I wanna see that new Tyler Perry movie next month though the trailer had me dying!

“& @Rihanna Fans PLEASE DO NOT put…
Rihanna & “criticial acclamied” in the SAME sentence! ESPECIALLY when you CANT EVEN SPELL IT!!!!”
*DEAD* EXACTLY!!!
———————————————————————–
*rolls into casket* DEATHHHHH!!!! LMAO!
@ROBIER
NOT TRUE!! HE IS STILL SIGNED WITH THEM!!
Cocky = Overly self-assertive or self-confident.
I don’t see anything that bow said that was cocky. I just see a young man who is very confident in himself and his abilities, and for some reason a lot of yall can’t handle that. Whether he’s better than Jay or Wayne or not( he isn’t), if he wants to think that then let him. What you expect him to say? “Oh Jay Z and Wayne are so awesome, and i’m a sorry ass n**** compared to them.” Sorry that’s not how it works. Hip Hop is competitive, and you better believe you’re the best,and have confidence in yourself and your music, or you won’t last long. Every artist should and does believe they’re the best. Jay believes it, Lil Wayne believes it, Nas believes it, ect. Bow is no different. So give the “he’s too cocky” or the “he needs to be more humble”comments a rest. They are seriously annoying.
Love this interview. He’s really genuine for better of for worse.
He showed respect for Drake, Ciara,,Lil Kim, Chris Brown, and Nicki Minaj
He wasn’t being arrogant. He’s right. He’s in a different lane then someone like Big Sean or J.Cole (who don’t have albums out, while he’s had about 5). People say “oh he’s irrelevant” and all that but his last album was number 2 on rap charts, and “Ain’t thinkin about you” currently gets radio and video play.
Bow Wow is right …there were lots of other rappers in his age group that couldn’t sustain a career past their childhood and I think he’s had like 2 platinum albums since his 18th birthday. And hell Young Berg has nice eyes, and Lil Romeo is very attractive while Kriss Kross was with So So Def just like Bow Wow and none of them have sold 10 million records, starred in their own films , or sold out Madison Square Garden like Bow Wow. I’m proud to see a young brother do that.
He is 24 and has already had a great career. He’s had past a “moment”, but a little legacy of achievements.
P.S : His eyes look amazing in this video,lol
And um the commenters who believe he thinks he’s better then Jay Z are DELUSIONAL not Bow Wow. He was saying he can’t choose between GREAT artists so he’ll choose himself.
People play “stan” games and idol celebs so much they don’t know how to put THEMSELVES before an artist. YOU should be your OWN biggest fan.
He obviously respects Jay Z, Nas, Tupac, Biggie, LL Cool J, and Eminem, as he has mentioned them as greats before. But he said he wouldn’t choose between Wayne (His labelmate) and Jay Z (rap icon).
Ya’ll are just…
it sad u ppl really try n clown ciara its cool ..but 1 thing u wnt do is downplay her success just 2 state a Few !.she’s headlined 3 tours 1 with jayz…1 with t.i..n her evolution tour..#1 album(rihanna has yet 2 claim)..billboard woman of tha yr (b4 beyonce even..which rihanna has yet 2 recieve with all those #1’s) 10million sold worldwide…..14rnb top 10s(which she soley is she didnt sell herself short)12top 40’s(8 0f them reaching top 10 on tha hot 100)18 million singles sold worldwide…she’s 3rd with beyonce 4 most gold singles RIAA.com urself 2 see..yall need 2 kno tha difference between opening act n supporting act opening acts get 10 mins she supported britney n rihanna with 30min sets n she get 100k a show clown all u want tho btw yea she supported rihanna but she got better reviews then rihanna on her own tour go ahead..yea Fantasy Ride n BI flopped so its her fault her label neglected 2 promote her becuz they want her 2 be pop.. its her faullt her singles get blocked from radio by her own label…even with all that floppin n no promotion ride still went gold(800k 2 be frank) LSM still sold 3million go Wiki Go Girl..LSM..Never Ever>>Takin back my love>>Ride they all were top 10’s and #1’s somewhere around tha world hell even Work..Gimme dat and turn it up charted with no promo i can really go on forever but whats tha purpose of educating on ciara when u can wiki her n make urself tha fool

excuse tho typos but yall understand
Girl Rihanna don’t need support from urban blogs. It’s obvious she doesn’t f*** with them because they’re all haters who envy her success. And how can you still call Rihanna a singles artist when LOUD has sold already almost 4 million internationally? Most of her peers are not making those numbers so stop repeating what you heard other people say and check the receipts.
Anywho, There are plenty of artists who do Bow Wow’s job 100 times better. He puts himself and Ciara on this pedestal like if they’re breaking records, when in reality neither of them can break the billboard hot 100. Ciara’s flop ass will always just be an opening act. Deal with it.
@Mario
Ok girl, you sound stupid on every level. So you’re discrediting 9 #1’s because airplay has become a factor in making a number 1 after 2006? B**** sit down she’s had #1s since 2005. Stop being so pressed. The Dream also wrote single ladies for Beyonce, which was the biggest song of 2008. Yet Beyonce was on Forbes and not Dream? So again you sound stupid. Name one artist who has had a tour and never had to cancel at least one date? I didn’t think so. Madonna had to cancel dates too and still ended up with a tour that grossed 200 million. And please check the receipts Rihanna’s tour has gotten all types of good reviews. You wouldn’t know that because you let blog dictate your opinion.
You’re so pressed and you’re doing a bad job of hiding it.
*sips tea*
Damn Bow don’t be getting no respect from you people lol but he is a lttle delusional when it comes to his rapping skills and appeal or lack thereof.Bow can rap but nobody is taking you serious cause people still see you as Lil Bow wow.When he was young bow sounded cute but now it just comes off as n**** please.Ciara is a hell of a performer but she has no appeal to her we have been there done that with her.When Ciara came out she was a bad b**** but has stayed in circa 2004-06 era and allow Keri Hilson who can’t dance for s*** to snatch her bald.Bow needs to stick to acting cause nobody is checking for a Bow wow album it is what it is.
@Noodles
People will debate who is the better dancer Omari or CB all day long.Omari can dance you can’t take that away from him but he has no appeal to him.Me personally I think he should have kept his braids cuz that is what made him s***, in his video for “Come and f*** with me” Rosa Acosta was who I was attracted to and i’m not even a lesbian.FYI CB needs to go back to his dark hair ASAP that blonde cutenss is wearing off.
Am I the only one that’s taken aback by how inarticulate Bow-Wow sounds? I’m by no means expecting these entertainers to sound super scholarly, but basic basic subject- verb agreement seems to have alluded him. I’m surprised at this because I remember when Lil Bow Wow first came out and reading all of these articles about how he had a 4.0 GPA in school and what not. If Bow were Wayne, that would be one thing. Afterall, Wayne is a high school drop out, but I expected Bow Wow to sound less ignorant in an interview.
wow, xclusive pic of christina aquilera very drunk at http://www.kelsnetwork.b*******.com
@ THEGOODIES So performing in night clubs a half decade ago is making Ciara that madonna 200 million she claims to be getting since her albums flopped? The poor thing had the chance to be next in line to Beyonce’s throne after Ashanti fell off. However they both decided to make the same crappy music over and over so Beyonce banished them from her court. Rihanna might not be great and singing or dancing. But, she makes music that pleases the Queen Bey and the masses so she keeps her spot. Ciara can back bend and matrix all she wants. She will never again enter the palace with “gimmie dat”. Rihanna will be right here making the music the less bitter people enjoy. Ciara can be the court dancer. Princess Rihanna reminds us all to tip the hired help.
Bow wow girl, BYE! You ain’t s***.
some of yall are so dumb BOW WOW NEVER SAID HE WAS BETTER THAN JAY Z OR WAYNE he only said bow cause he didn’t want to choose between them two not because he thinks he is better than them. to every1 saying BOW WOW IS COCKY can u actually define the meaning of cocky before u call someone cocky. real talk which artists would say some one is better than him. yall need to stfu n listen to the damn interview n stop hating seriously cause i never heard bow wow said anything wrong.
HATERS GET A DAMN LIFE
@GUCCI
UHM Ciara more than can break the hot 100 … every album she does and with this one the only song to do was ride with no promo.. Her label stopped gimme dat from being top 10 on the hot 100 cuz it was clearly a smash waiting to happen. cant believe since ciara has had 2 albums that did not do well.. she is so called irrelevant becuz of Label Issues.. Not Her, “label Issues”.. Anyway when rih pulls a thriple platnium album in the Us then talk to me b****
Thanks @I’M A BILLY GOAT…..YUCK! & @RoyalKev
The even funnier thing is, the post is about Bow Wow for one. 2, he talked about wayy more things than just Ciara. But, the one little Ciara part is the onlh thing that got the most buzz? Can we say mad? pressed? bothered? fans? She’s so irrelevant, but why is she being talked about at all if she’s so irrelevant? Ciara’s in her own lane, & I am happy & very proud of her. Most people couldn’t do what she does, & survive through all she’s gone through. But, she’s still at it. You all have failed, miserably. Y’all doing all the extensive typing, she getting all the extensive digits (000000000 right in her bank account), & living good 🙂

First, all of Rihanna’s Grammy’s are for being a featured act. None of her tours gross that much money like Beyonce, Gaga, Britney or Pink. She’s not a great or good performer. All of her tours get average reviews. Just because Rihanna has headlined a lot of tours, sold a lot albums and has a lot of hit singles, that does not make her talented at all. Yeah Ciara may not be as big as Rihanna, but talent wise, Ciara shits on Rihanna my miles. Ciara not only sings and dances at the same time, which is something Rihanna cannot do, she also writes and produces her songs, choreographs her dance moves and has written for other artists [Fantasia, Tiffany Evans, MJB, ATL]. Rihanna fans are cocky because Rihanna is the biggest female in the world right now, but once Beyonce and Gaga come back around and show her who’s really #1, they’ll get quiet again. Ciara is a young legend. Ciara really had to and has to work for success, while Rihanna’s was and is still being handed to her. We all know why Def Jam has her release an album every year, because the moment she starts to fade out of view, her popularity and success will drop like raindrops. Ciara is far respected as a singer/writer/performer and overall artist than Rihanna. You know what, let me stop, because I don’t want a Rihanna stan to get upset over the truth.
*BOWS!* You just read them all the way back to head start.
@Dave
Dion-ish already shut that s*** down.
___________________________________________________
Chileee PLEASE!
First off, Rihanna has a Grammy for Only Girl (thats not a featured track boo boo) and um Umbrella was HER single? she wasnt the featured artist. And Yea She won grammys off Run This Town as well (which she was a featured artist) BUT she also wrote her verse in Run This Town so uh yea? Its still HER grammy! So were is Ciara’s Grammys? What are they for? Does she even have one for her records? OK.
And Far as Touring, Dont TALK if you cant put YOUR fav up against her Boo. This is about Ciara/Rihanna not Pink, Gaga, Selena Gomez, Tyra Banks, OPRAH or anybody else! Rihanna does well with her tours? And didnt Ciara open for her during the GGGB Tour? Chile SIT!! And Lets not Forget She’s JUST now wrapping up the LGOE Tour and Starting the LOUD tour soon which is already sold out in more then half its dates and a Record EIGHT FREAKIN SHOWS at the O2 Arena Schedule’s? Can your fav? Like seriously this is TEW easy….Just Stop!
And Far as Singing, No Question Rihanna has wayyy more vocal talent then Ciara! I Cant even remember a single Live performances were Ciara hasn’t lip singed! And when she doesnt lip sing she sounds like a fukin 10yr old Chorus student w/ no range! *How DARE she butcher MJ’s song* at least when Rihanna sings songs from her idol (Bob marley) she does it justice.
And Gaga And Beyonce have no effect over Rihanna’s Success boo….She has a solid spot in the Pop Industry….its Rihanna, Gaga, and Beyonce’s careers that puts Ciara’s AWAY in a manager! ….Ciara prob had the oppurtinity to have a spot, but Gaga straight dominated it!
…And Rihanna is surely Loved and Respected in the industry by Plenty! Madonna, Prince, Adele, Beyonce, Brandy, Britney Spears, Mary J Blige, Xtina, Bon Jovi…Just to name A FEW!!
IM DONE.

HE IS SUCH A WASTEMAN, WHAT EXACTLY IS HE DOING THAT MAKES HIM STAND-OUT, YOU ARE BROKE!!!
It must really suck to be a child star. People don’t take you seriously, and want to keep you in a box forever and won’t allow you to grow up. Now i see why these child stars go crazy. Damn the n**** is 24 YEARS OLD! When yall going to allow him to grow up, and treat him like an ADULT and give him some respect? 30? 40? What age, He isn’t cocky, he just confident like i said yesterday. Also for the people who can’t handle the fact that he has Confidence(probably because they don’t have any) and don’t wanna support him anymore then don’t. Don’t comment on posts about him, don’t comment on his youtube page and videos and don’t support his music. It’s not hard. SMH @ people who actually come on blogs( b*****,mediatakeout, ect) and comment on posts about people they DONT like. LOL very sad.
YAAAAAAS @Mari (RIP Dwayne McDuffie) you betta preach. I can’t stand when people compare Rihanna with some random ass artist because they can’t put her up against their fave. Notice how 14 artists names are brought up when talking about the girl and then come to find out they actually stan for Kat Deluna or Kelly Rowland. Chile………
It just makes them look so pressed. Ciara will never be as successful as Rihanna and they’re just going to have to deal with it. You can’t take away her success and it makes you so mad. We get it boo.
*sips tea*
Why do Ciara fans make light of Rihanna’s achievements? She still achieved them. She has out paced Ciara in every way. The label did not support Ciara fully on her Basic instinct project because…. Evolution although a good album, did not sell well. Yes, the album debuted at number #1… in the United States. yea, yea, yea, but after the initial rush. No one else purchased the album… It did not match the success of Goodies. Naturally her budget will be cut back. When Go Girl was released and, did not do well her budget was cut back even more. Now Fantasy ride debuts behind a none mainstream act like Chrisette Michelle. And you honestly think any business will throw millions behind her again? Her label troubles are to be expected. But her name alone should get her gold certification! But, she’s not even doing that! Artists do not have to pay to be on talk show’s etc. You are aware of that right? The label should not be expected to “pay” for Ciara to grind or visit University campuses. You think when actors visit talk shows paramount pictures pay for it?
Rihanna was in the same situatuon. She had a long running #1 song “Umbrella” but her album was not selling as fast as they thought it should. Her budget was cut! Rihanna payed for the videos for “shut up and drive” and “dont stop the music” herself. She did not write a letter blaming the record label. She did her grind and now look at her? She’s the Queens heir apparent. Queen Beyonce needs to teach that b**** a thing or too… but she has earned her place! Nobody can come for Rihanna except the “Neo Queen Trinity” Beyonce, Britney, and Lady Gaga! Ciara fans, Rihanna haters have a seat!
used to be Princesses Brandy and Monica (lost titles in1999) and Aaliyah (died aPrincess)
then Queen Beyonce and Princess Ashanti (lost title in 2004)
then Queen Beyonce and Princess Ciara (lost title in 2007)
Now Queen Beyonce and Princess Rihanna, Rihanna has been the longest runner up to Beyonce’s throne. She might be getting a her own soon. When Britney retires. Thats if Christina doesn’t make a huge pop comeback.
QueenBey
Ciara Has only had label issues and I cant believe you said ciara’s The Evolution Didnt sell well but sold 1.3 million in the u.s alone.. come on.. Like im dead at that. And monica Just made the biggest R&b comeback mof 2010 Being Certified Gold With Still Standing

@gucci
girl? my name is mario i have a d*** and plenty b****** love my s***………………i happen 2 respect ciara n dream about her dnt get mad cuz she still has bigger achievements then rihanna who i dream about as well HATER…..spend that time u do hating n get rihanna 2 contribute 2 her career besides f***** her way 2 tha top
btw catch ciara in austrailia in april @ supafest on a stage rihanna said she cant book
@Keyshia Goodies sold 5 million, Evolution only 1.7 million. Thats not bad but isn’t great either. My point was that the label would have come to expect more from her. Example Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad sold 9 million, Rated R sold 2.3 million, Thats not bad but the label will not give her the same budget. You can clearly see this in the videos from Rated R compared to Loud.
Anyone can get on supafest… Not everyone can headline a tour! Ciara has never done it. Rihanna didn’t say Ciara could not book a stage. She wished her luck at doing so. Honestly she needs the luck. How many stages has Rihanna walked back and forth on? To many to count! Princess Rihanna kills it doing nothing! I love it! She’s such a Princess. She makes the Queen work harder then her. She is that b**** Ciara wish she was! Ciara will dance up storm performing her ass off sweating and get a standing ovation. And not one of us will buy her album. Sad.
@queen bey u dnt wiki much cuz evolution sold 3million worldwide(3.2 due 2 imports) according 2 tha riaa.com that gives out plaques n thats gr8(pre rihanna @ that) even with them 2 flop albums she still sold 10 million worldwide u shud subscribe 2 them it cost money 2 kno what ppl sell…ppl some labels certify albums 2 get paid jive doesnt do that @ all ….writings on tha wall was certified 8x platinum in america but only sold 6.2 …as well as Rated R sold only 893k in tha us but is certifeid platinum…also bday sold 2.6mil but is certified 3x platinum all becuz of shipments but again jive doesnt do that..Goodies sold 2.76 mil but another 300k in imports i hope ur still with me on this which is gonna certify goodies 6million worldwide by tha years end again those r examples…again i dnt hate on artist becuz they doin betta then me u and every1 esle on these blogs i myself dnt have .10% of tha success ciara has n niether do yall so why hate? anybody can be ur favorite but whats tha hate about? thats bow wow’s opinion…everybody says they pay ppl no mind but yet words still affect there judgement
@queen bey she said “good look @ booking that stage u speak of” so that clearly means 2 me she cant book a stage right……GGGB (her 3rd album)sold 7mill worldwide(her album is far from diamond) which is her biggest after ciara’s2 nd album….so the Evolution tour was a headlined Tour?which she sang and sold out tha masdison sq garden in fron of 30,000 fans? again i say u dnt wiki much back up tha things u say mind u this is b4 rihanna @ that…..Supafest is a tour which makes 4 stops n anybody can put a tour 2gether ask lil twist n tyga who dnt even have albums out…..ciara gets 100k 2 get on tha stage call her publicist(11 dates with britney 7 with jayz an easy 1.8) ciara is a performer ppl pay 2 see her thats why even tho her albums havent been selling she still making money…now lets not forget tha mil she got 4 being Givenchy’s muse n gracing tha covers of damn near every magazine(she get 80k for mags we can start from jan 2010 if u like) she gets money other ways like 300k 2 perfrom in spain…another 300k 2 perform in khazastan shes not hurtin financially @ all becuz shes and entertainer…Rihanna sold 4 million worldwide last yr(rated r n loud combined) big hits and a tour but all she made was 4.5 million dollars(Via billboard.com go see 4 urself) that why i say u can clown ciara but rihanna is tha fool n missing out on money so if i were def jam id milk her 2…all my facts r real go check all tha sites i mention
@queenbey n ur comment just proved why music is s*** right now u just said so urself that rihanna does nothing but sum1 like ciara can work her ass off on tha stage but get nowhere Thanx 4 proving alot of ppls points
so why dnt u do some math ciara has written alot of songs 4 ppl(ill use 1 song)
2 every album theres 100points 1-point equals 5.6 cents ciara wrote u got me waitn 4 fantasia she gets 2 points becuz jazze pha only produced tha song fantasia sold almost 3million worldwide 4 her 1st album so i want u 2 multiply 11.2 cents times 3million…Ciara has money she clearly doesnt do it for that…..its not her fault her label didnt promote her or back her financially(wud rihanna or bey have used there money for studio time..radio play,,videos) why be a fan of a person who wudnt give f**** about giving there all not sayin u cant like who u like…if i spend my money on u i need my moneys worth n Ciara gives me that….thats why i love n respect her(and also love 2 date her)
ppl clowing ciara’s sales but only 6 albums got certified gold n platinum last yr that means every1 with ciara flopped..just cuz ur song was hot n charting dnt mean u sold any records ask taio cruz…diddy..jaime..i can go on but yet ciara is tha poster child for floppin smfh ppl
YES Ciara is a better live performer BUT Rihanna puts out better songs and has more swag. Ciara decided to go Hollywood.
I wish Ciara the best. She was also signed by L.A. Reid before he went to Def Jam. If she had him helping her pick music and running her career she would be on top and headlining arena tours right now. Remember tha L.A Reid picked SOS for Rihanna and helps pick Beiber’s songs …. He also started out Pink, Avrile L, Usher, and TLC……. he knows what he’s doing…. you need to have the right team ….. Even Shontelle’s people pick better singles for her…… Ciara’s songs are poorly written and too sexual or immature….. I loved Promise, Never Ever, Goodies, and Like a Boy……. she needs a new team.
Daymmmm right!
Ciara IS a legend in the making, you gotta open your eyes people. Why the Rihanna stans mad? Face it, your girl is a JOKE. As one of the earlier coments said, she’s just a face with a mic, no talent, no voice, no stage presence.
Hvae any of you hating fuckers seen Ciara performing live? SHE KILLS THAT STAGE.. every time!!! You seen Rihanna perform live? Yawn b****.
F*** everyone saying Ciara ‘went Hollywood’, naww she didn’t – you just hating cos she took a route you didn’t like. And if Ci is Hollywood, what the f*** is W****-anna, Rihanna, RiMANna aka FOREHEAD?
Ci has NOT finished.. Watch her jump onto a new record label and SLAY your lives. The comeback is inevitable.. and Ci, all your fans will be waiting for you. RIGHT HERE.
HONEY, BOW WOW IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. HE SAID OMARION DANCES BETTER THAN CHRIS BROWN NOW HE CAN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION HE IS LATE. WHY IS HE COMING FOR RIHANNA, THE WAY IS SAID HANDS DOWN CIARA ITS LIKE HE CAN’T STAND RIHI. IF YOU DON’T LIKE RIHANNA AS A PERFORMER THATS FINE BUT THE WAY PEOPLE SPEAK OF HER IS LIKE THEY CAN’T STAND HER AS A PERSON BECAUSE SHE IS BALLIN IN THE GAME. ARE YOU JEALOUS BECAUSE HER EYES ARE GREEN? LIGHTSKIN? MODEL? BECAUSE SHES TALL? BECAUSE SHE HAS GRAMMYS? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? HOW DID THIS ENVY BEGIN?
All I and millions of people have to say is , Once Ciara handels her Jive business and Gets Right Back On top, Yall haters will be Riding That D*** again….
damn i skipped passed half the comments cuz its nothin but rihanna gibberish. Her fans are so annoying.
As far as bow wow goes, hes feeling himself way too much talking like hes relevant in rap right now. We’ll see how much he exceeds in movies cuz… hes a real joke
And him saying he has friends who went diamond and cant tour, what tour is he on again? and is he referring to Nelly because who else sold that much and can’t tour.
They should have mentioned souljah boy’s sells to because everybody is clowning ciara when he did worst and he was one of bowwow’s peers, touring together and all.
This whole debate about Rihanna and Ciara is really stupid, all the Rihanna stans know that Rihanna cannot sell out an Arena she need to to have other artists join her on tour in order to make something out of that tour and it usually is the artist that is hot a that time. Rihanna = Gimmick.
His Ciara and Rihanna comment was the truth.Ciara dances her b*** off, so Rih stans need to sit, always bringing up record sales. Just because it was a hit, doesnt make it good music.
DELUSIONAL. and he wasnt sayn he was better than jay or wayne he was avoiding the question because he is on waynes label and probably thinks jay is better. he didnt want to put his feet in his mouth. and chris brown over omarion any day! Omarion used to be amazing, but chris has surpassed him.
Rihanna eyes are green it don’t matter she already won. deal with it.
I hate people like this dude that think they’re all that. cocky ass b******. I would rather throw away the money than support your ugly ass. Your done my dude, the only reason why you still out there is because this dumb females think your “cute”.
point is neither of them can sing let CiCi hit a note live she cant all she got on riri is dance cici 2 busy being seen on reality shows & being hollywood riri stays on the charts when was bow last successful album

4 once i have to say i don’t think he’s was overly cocky he handel this interveiw very well like it or not.
You can have the best songwriters in the game, but if you cannot sing, nothing can help you, not superb choreography or well directed videos especially in the field of singing, as people will start to see through that, no one says you have be a Whitney Houston style vocalist as not everyone can sing like that, but come on you need to be able to carry a tune Rhianna has a nasal tone to her voice and her Bajan accent is still quite strong however she can sing in more than two registers, use her head voice (no not falsetto) vocal runs and vibrato.
Ciara tone is very weak she has no head voice, she sings from her diaphagm and if she does hit a high note which is rare she drop them instantly she cannot sustain them.
It is not professional to rant and hate on your label because you didn’t get your way. who is going to touch this girl now what label wants an artist who will air dirty laundry when things go sour not Interscope or Epic Records.
Ciara really need to humble herself, talking about about another celeb on a C-list Chat show is so lame hanging out with p*** star Kim Kardashian is desperate.
What did Ciara expect Jive to do just keep throwing money at her when is not making the label money, money talks in this business Ciara took it personally and handled it badly, which is surprising since everyone knows in this industry how media-trained Ciara is when the Dream said something about her music a while back is took it politely and gracefully even when people claimed she was transgender she ignored them haters, recently homegirl be tripping cracks are showing hating on Rhianna, rolling with a c-list p*** star and dissing her former label.
I agree with most people, Ciara is indeed magnificent at what she does, but where has she been ? She produces a few songs and god knows where she dissapears for like awhile and than she comes back and makes a couple more and dissapears again, she’s a on and off kind of singer. For those who are dissing Rihanna, it’s called being a low life and just taking your anger out at a innocent human being. Boy, most of you would really hate it if only what you were trying to do was make music and people who don’t even know you personally judged you and talk s*** about you, they get so brave behind the computer screen. Rihanna has this individual voice, it’s different and new, it may not sound as good as people like Beyonce and Mariah Carey and so on, but it’s different and it’s an amazing voice. Rihanna has a different look and style of doing things, if you don’t like it than just f*** off, she dosen’t need haters she’s been through heaps s***. Chris brown attacked her and i still love him he made a mistake and thats what people need to understand, humans make a mistake and matter fact some of us are destined to make huge mistakes that will some how have a impact on our lives. Leave rihanna out of your bullshitting.
Your all arguing over nothing, their all involved in illuminati ? dosen’t matter how good they are, their possessed and their working for the devil. I rest my case.
