As one of R&B’s hardest working women, ‘Don’t Talk About Me’ vocalist Ciara continues to fly the flag for her genre nine years after her ‘Goodies‘ generated debut.
Perhaps, with this in mind, a number of her fans have taken to social media to weigh in on the handling of her latest project ‘Ciara‘, penning an open letter demanding an update on the critically acclaimed project and- rather unfortunately- accusing her of abandoning them in favour of her fiancee, Future.
Their problem?
Read below…
It should be noted that this letter does not reflect the views of all ‘C-Squad‘ members, with some taking to Twitter to blast it.
Some shared…

I think the queen is more focus on her relationship then her career which is ok but it makes me beyond sad 🙁 Cici and Epic please get it together
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL poor ZSquat 🙁
When the website that loves you the most feels like they have to share what your fans are saying about you, that’s when you have to WAKE UP and take matters into your own hands.
LOOOL
Laughing the results of your h***** test?
The struggle. What they don’t realize is the label has given up on her, not Ciara herself. She did all that promo and still flopped harder than a fish out of water. They better hope and pray she doesn’t get dropped in the next year or so.
NO. ONES. CHECKING. FOR. CIARA. ANYMORE. DEAL.
@FierceSasha if thats the case guess no ones checking for Sloppyonce either seeing as tho her and Cici both last top 10 hit was in 09
But Beyonce still sells albums and gross 200 million on tours. don’t EVER compare that flop to the queen!
A top ten single is not the death of a career! kiiii And correction her last top ten was in 2010 bxtch!
The C-Squad and deranged stans are more relevant than she is these days. Truth.
Still mad that ANTM has impact than The Flop.
I actually love ANTM too. So take your crusty ass elsewhere. I didn’t diss your fave, I simply stated a fact which happened to be a complement to the C-Squad, but you obviously fall under the “deranged” stan category. I will pray for you but won’t count on you to see the light anytime soon!
LOOOl don’t blame her flop on Future.. what about the two flop albums before this one. Future wasn’t around then.
No one is checking for her! It’s been this way for years now kii
B**** shut your dusty b**** ass up… Ciara career is doing fine imo . so i honestly dont give a f*** about how you feel.
@Molly b**** you are so delusional.
That bxtch is beyond delusional..she needs medication looool
Ciara is doing just fine, working on a new project. Let her be.
Such a hypocrite. If this was Queen Beyonce! you would be leaving long paragraghs “trying” to shade. FOH
@sass And you b****** in th hive are nothing but low life haters
LOOL
We’re only giving you a taste of your own medicine hun! Arent you ALWAYS on Beyonce’s post spreading BITTER hate?
She either needs to get on a new label or just retire because this isn’t working, in fact it hasn’t been working for years. Poor Cici.
A new label? Didn’t she just get to Epic?
A label isn’t the problem. People just aren’t interested. Be real. If this was Beyonce (who you used to love), you would be shading 😉
The lies. I generally don’t go after the sales and fame of artists unless someone starts it and I’m irritated by it. I mainly go after their artistry and vocals. However, yes you’re right. If this was Beyonce I would be shading the hell out of her. In fact, I’ll continue to do so until you Bey stans stop attacking everyone.
Don’t call anyone a hater, when you are one yourself.
@Sass never a hater mama i just state facts that you queens can’t handle babe.
What facts have you stated??
Death@ no one being able to handle you, when you are dragged daily. I’m surprised you still have the guts to show up! kiiiii
SlayHive your so pressed lovebird can feel however he wants he loves Ciara not the scum thief liar that is beyonce.
LOOOL
How does he love Cierror when he bandwagoned for her before her album came out, THEN started dragging her when she sold 57k! Now he is back stanning for her???
HoeBird is a fickle bxtch and only stans for sells!
“Sells”…..sales???? That alone is reason enough I don’t rate Beyonce fans.
Lmao slay hive is mad more people shade beyonce than Ciara.
That’s because Beyonce is a boss and Cierror is a nobody! It’s too easy to read her.. The only reason she is being discussed is because you delusional stans kiiiiiiiiiiii
You know what they say about people with most haters being on top doll.
It’s so funny isn’t it. When your fav is ducking and dodging release dates, the only thing left for the fans to do is troll the internet and mock artists who actually have music out.
B****, show me Beyonce’s latest single, where is it??? She knows it’ll be a continuation of her swim down the charts like “4”.
Instead of writing paragraphs on Cici, go buy another copy of 4gotten.
*YAWNS*
The only shade you can come up with is her new single!!
*YAWNS YAWNS YAWNSSSSS*
Beyonce’s single can come out in 2016 and you would still be on the edge of your seat waiting for it. More than the Hive. Which is quite sad!
I have a copy of 4, instead of worrying about Beyonce’s album, go and purchases CIERROR she is the one who needs the help 😉
But your fav releases TRASH and your still on the blogs trolling harder than anyone else. What does that say about the sh*t your fav releases?? It’s garbage which is why you come on blogs pressed and worried about everyone else..
I can’t at the pressed Beyonce fan responding to every positive Ciara comment on this thread…ultimate death.
Do you need a tissue babe, I know your morning the trolling your fav is doing?
loooooL no i dont need a tissue , but you can keep them for yourself and the other two zsauat members! kiii
while you’re at it, get you guys some new wigs too 😉 kiiii
Bored with that boring 4gotten album already?? Is that why you have so much time on your hands??
Beyonce fans are nothing but broke miserable hoodrat h***.
Lmao @Lovebird beyonce won’t be releasing s*** until 2015 watch that scary h** gotta wait till all the competition dies out
And iTstill will outsell anything Cierror has released kiiiiiiiiiii STAY PRESSED THAT YOUR FAVE IS A FLOP!!! SHE
Ciara girl, I’ll keep it real. You have so much potential but you need to start thinking clearly if you want to get to the top. I mean, you spend more times talking about haters and your man but never retweet any of the positive s*** that happens for you.
TGJ stan for you so hard it’s disgusting but it feels like you’d rather hang out with your man than interact with your fans or the peeps that be going in for you.
i hate to be the one who has to be real with the c-squad but come on now.. you KNOW this is a one shot business and once you loose not just your “fans” interest but the “general public”,” you’re done. Look at Avril Lavigne, she’s done and all because she wasn’t promoted and the GP lost interest in her… Ciara had not one, not two but THREE chances to get it right…I’m sorry but she’s now an R&B has-been… I’ll see her on tour with Boys II Men…
@Molly
LMAO 2015?? You’re being generous, I’m saying 2021.
Who’s going to buy that s*** anyway? Her most recent song has already been forgotten.
Everyone knows TGJ are the biggest Ciara dickriders so they probably b*** hurt that they want her to slay but she doesn’t know how to.
Ciara seems more invested in her relationship and that’s fine. She seems happy with her current situation and her fans should support that. I’ve been a fan since the beginning and to be honest, Ciara has lost her drive. There are a list of things that happened to her career that led her here, esp not abandoning ship on a sound that died out, but ultimately if she’s not thirsty for it, it wont happen. Considering other urban releases this year, Ciara has had a successful era. How many urban acts have gotten any certifications lately? Csquad can be very proud of that. The reality is that R&B is dead and promo wont make much of a difference. All the promo wasted on Body Party should’ve been put on Overdose so she could’ve had a platinum hit and toured on that alone. But at the end of the day Ciara delivered a great album and the music should be all that really matters.
As a diehard Ciara stan, this is embarassing. We as fans should not be begging Ciara to release info to us about album details, single/videos, tour dates etc. This era was so embarrassing more so for Ciara than her fans tbh. She hyped this era up so much saying she was going to reconnect with her fans and she lied. She got her some d*** and said f*** yall. I bet she doesn’t care her album hasn’t even crossed the 150k after 5 months or that Overdose has yet to really chart anywhere. She had the biggest R&B song of the year by a female and almost paid it dust until the last minute. Beyoncé, Rihanna, P!nk, Katy, Gaga, Taylor, Ke$ha are all performing on major awards shows, headlining world tours and signing 7 figure endorsements while Ciara is on IG posting pics of damn dogs. If she doesn’t care about the current state of her career then why should we as fans. Even if Body Party does win a Grammy, which I’m sure it will, she’ll still be a nobody tbh. Idc what no other Ciara stan says, she is not hot right now. The audience barely clapped for her when she presented at the AMAs. I’m just tired of defending her and she ain’t trying to make s*** happen. If she can’t get s*** under control, then she needs to give up tbh because nobody is checking for her. It’s not industry politics, it’s pure laziness…
I love @Touche put that trash in its place.
Are we blaming Future? Come on now, this has been happening for years. I now have no choice but to believe that Ciara offended someone in the past and this is karma. I really believe it 2bh, because this is crazy.
The label are already flopping and after those first week sales they’re scared to give her any more money but that’s not stopping her from tweeting and interacting with her fans is it?
With all the comments you’ve submitted on Beyonce its probably the equivalent of a few dissertations. And that’s not including the Gaga paragraphs. So not you calling Beyoncé stans pressed. Look in the mirror.
Oh and Ciaras flop that’s why they aint bothering.
Slayhive shouldnt you be taking care of your 3 kids by 3 baby daddys and stop worrying about Ciara.
Ciara i love you so much but you must let us know what’s going on.
Now i’m one who give Ciara hard critic because although she has her limits vocally, she still has enough of to slay stages ACROSS THE WORLD.
Questions:
Who picks her singles?
Where is her ALL YEAR ROUND promo of JUST MUSIC?
Why is she not on more award shows?
Why why why???
This girl has too much talent to be just be wasting away. The hustle is not strong enough and she is not getting those Kelly Rowland checks to be as lazy on album promo.
Ciara even if you have to ask your man to assist you at this point I need a video to your most popular tune. Pay for it, use connections and let your talents shine and go on TV and perform EVERYWHERE!
I like her abilities but she not on it and she’s such a beautiful spirit and person.
Even Tamar is putting this lady under a EPIC table, with her over doing it self….
You can’t blame her for not booking award shows if the award show organizers don’t think she brings in ratings. You can blame her for not talking to her fans but then expecting them to help her when she needs them.
I don’t want to go overboard but TGJ is obviously the biggest black music site and I see the way Nicki used to retweet them all the time when they post good stuff about her because Sam has impact and most of us have been reading this place for six or seven years.
I deadass thought Ciara would retweet them when they kept talking about how well she was doing but NOTHING. Does she not know how vital things like that are for her.
People think you’re a flop but your ass is SLEEPING on your own slayage overseas and instead of talking about it and bringing more attention to it you ignore it.
Hahahahahahaha, did one of the 3 Ciara stans from here write this? Super Cicus, Molly and whatever the other one name is? Y’all look just as bad as Brandy stans when they wrote an open letter to her label.
The album haven’t even sold 200k, it’s done. I can see her team spacing out the OD video til next year. You do know that promo is a budget right? You can throw all the money in the well, if you’re not making a profit, then you’ll be in debt. I hate when people say “oh they need to promote more” when no one cares. Ciara has been everywhere, no one cares to buy her music! Look at Gaga, 25 million in promo, NO ONE CARES TO BUY HER MUSIC.
What’s best for these flops is to work on a new album and set plans. So have the single date, video date, album date, tv appearance schedule, award shows schedule in advance (6 months to a year) so the promo would be right the first time.
What was Ciara doing before on her last three albums? Throwing songs at a wall and hope that one sticks, luckily have a hit, THEN get ready for the album 6, 7, 8 12 months later.
Take note from Rihanna and her team, when she sets a date, that s*** drops on that date. No matter who else is dropping on that date. R8h and Bey NEVER had a push back.
yes yes YES!!!!!!!!!! I like Ciara, I really do but THIS is TRUTH!! There’s NO denying a single word in your comment!!! C-Squad be REAL for once, Ciara would be great if people other than the few stans she has were BUYING her music, let alone checking for her…it’s just the truth. NO smart business person would keep investing in a project no one is buying! Ciara DID have promo for this album BUT TWO “lead” singles failed before Body Party…..no more excuses, it’s a wrap….
Maybe she’s going through something she can’t talk about.
Cheryl I’ve been saying its karma for years now but no one believed me. Ciara treated her team like trash after the evolution!!! She became big headed not realizing that her star was diminishing. I think she’s just happy to be in a relationship and have pregnancy rumors floating around. She strikes me as the Hollywood fame hungry type. F*** the music and her crazy ass stans lol.
I honestly think CiCi Could Do much better if she really put much effort to her project. She has so much locked potential that needs to be unleashed. I hope sghe sees the open letter and WAKE the fuq up. We love her, Overdose is amazing…
I’m a little monster by the way, unlike yall pressed beyonce stans I appreciate GOod Music.
OMG ENOUGH with the “effort” talk!!! No ones buying!!! Why go on a world tour or release more singles when no ones gonna buy tickets!!! It’s out of her hands now!! No one cares anymore! No matter how many tv appearances no one will watch anyway!
I feel bad for Slaylisa Ellis though, she’s clearly trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Molly did you write that gworrlll?
grl this f-g is a known troll. SIT DOWNE ! !
I read him on twitter the other week. he’s seething bc his lies about Epic folding wont EVER come true LMAO
do u think LA reid would lose his money ?? these are the same ppl who bankrupted a diamond selling girl group to make their losses.. #NOTHAPPENINGGWORLS
y’all can continue to seethe while that single sells nearly 4mil around the world with ZERO promeaux ! !
YES CI!
At least she’s not as lazy as Kelly.
lol people who write open letters to artist who aren’t even aware of your existence need two things: a job and a life.
The music/album’s quality is all that should matter, I’d be more upset if an artist I supported was releasing empty, generic crap. It’s quite evident the only concern the writer, blog commentators & e-stans have is about promo for sales and chart numbers only; and there lies the true issue in music industry.
I kno wat happend !!!
When Ciara first came out with goodies she had
This fresh tomboy look that suited her good
She was killing them dance moves and she was very
Appealing looks weren’t really an importance to her
She dance more than she sang cuhz lets be honest with out her
Dance moves she really is nothing because her voice is weak
So she was using her talent well (dancing) when evolutions came out
She was doing the same she had a good run the problem here was her third
Album fantasy ride she started doing the s*** thing dancing less trying to sing
More and that’s when she messed up . Girl u can’t sing like that
God gave u the talent to dance if u would of kept it fresh with more dance
Music maybe things would have gone differently u should of kept ur swag
From the get go .
She saw that beyonce was doing great being the s*** diva she is but that
Doesn’t work for everyone honey u have a more muscular body
Ur not gonna rock it with a tight dress but if u would have kept ur original
Style then maybe u will still be hot .
S*** doesn’t work for everyone
Just look at Rihanna she was the girl next door cute innocent but
A nobody she change it up became a good girl gone bad and it worked
For her .
People miss the old Ciara the dancer Ciara not the Ciara trying
To sing .
1 thing that is very important god gave us all a special talent in the case
Of Ciara ( her dancing ability )
So u have to use more of wat ur good at n less of wat ur not
. My tip would be dance more sing less . Or maybe people just
Got bored .
My personal opinion.
Evolutions is not for enveryone imagine beyonce doing electronic
Music ?? That would not work
She keeps to her genre witch is contemporary r&b . But she always
Come bigger and better
Ciara needs to believe I’m her self again
She’s just not the same performer that she was when she first started .
they’re crazy she got like 4 videos a whole lot of promo and the shyt still have not sell close to 300,000 as yet.
don’t they see that Epic label is going bankrupt her ass my get dropped. that’s the only thing left of this era
The problem isn’t that people aren’t interested…The out pour of LOVE and RADIO PLAY that Body Party proves this..The problem is how things were managed after Body Party was released (Bad follow up singles, LACK OF PROMO on behalf of Ciara and her team..) But if she gives upon her career that’s her.
No, people don’t care, the general public likes SONGS and don’t really care about who the artist is anymore. You make a good song, people listen but that does not equal sales by any means anymore.
noone is checking but you clicked on the post, read everything, scroll down and click comment to comment on it lol ok……
AND ITS NO SHADE!!!!
I ENDORSE THIS LETTER.
radio, social media and TOURING are best promo … best way to build movement is on the road with tours, meet greets with fans.
I mean…. CiCi girl…. even SEVYN STREETER is on tour.
SEVYN STREETER… she doesnt even have an album yet …
she put out a mixtape this week but took her a** on tour to promote it a month before it dropped.
She has been doing summer jams, etc… this girl is hustling with a mixtape.
I dont understand why CiCi cant do tour ?????
Bey, Gaga, Katy Perry all have men … it doesnt prevent them from touring though…. she is just lazy…. no drive…. no hustle…
she could have already been finished with her tour….
she could have gone to Europe to do some of those music festivals like Iggy, and SOlange….
I mean …. they aint even got no albums out. ugh…
i dont understand Ciara.
Lol @ Beyonce fans talking s*** about Ciara. Look i don’t stan for her but at least she dropped a single, and an album even if it FLOPPED! Ciara is still pathetic though because she don’t communicate with her fans unless she dropping something LOL
The fact is that she is still being silent about what’s to expect for #Csquad, I think leaving her fans in the dark about what’s going on is what’s pissing off most of her supporters, and remaining silent is one thing she said has changed with her within this new era. She wanted to be more open and let us really in, hence the reason why she re-titled her album to self named “CIARA”
Me personally, I’m not phased. Some Stan’s are to obsessed with knowing everything when they want to know it. I’m just glad that she’s still getting work, and that she is working on her next album!!!
And that’s what keeps everyone else mad!
I’m just glad we have an album and not snippets or generic David guetta flops 😆
Ciara is FLOP
I think it’s time to admit not everybody can be great.
That there comes a time where the promo don’t matter, the interviews don’t matter, the truth is Ciara missed her chance.
There was a time I truly think she could have been big and been the #3 female black singer, but a lot of things fell apart and in the end the tide missed her. She COULD have gotten it back but we see her? A man and a few albums sold and she’s done.
I think she should move on to a new career, because I don’t see her hunger for music and if she waits too long to transfer she’ll end up being a total hasbeen who can’t get an endorsement deal or partnership.
ciara is obviously pregnant, while I do agree she needs to get it together I like other fans went out in the rain in NY n bought her album. I am disappointed that her attitude is coming off like she doesn’t care about her fans.
I think she can still do radio n interviews but I think she is trying to avoid having a public pregnancy just yet which is understandable but she needs to secure her fans that she actually does care about them.
cuz we are the ones contributing to her success.
n for the haters go head n hate,
hope it makes ur life happier
hope u learn that u dont have to degrade others to feel satisfied with your life.
if i was in the C-Squad i would be equally frustrated. lets keep it real, Ciara has the potential to be big. She is a fantastic performer, with the right team, she MIGHT even stand a chance against Rih. delaying the OD video has been a big mistake, it basically killed the chances of the song becoming a major hit for her. she needs to get her ass out to promote her singles even AFTER the album drops, go onto Ellen, David Letterman and etc. she cant sell off her name cos the GP has lost interest in her, she needs to put herself out there to get back the attention of the GP. by constantly leaving her fans in the dark, she is risking losing her core fan base, which lets face it, isnt that big anymore
I absolutely agree with this letter. Ciara is a slacker and I’m done with her she’s a disappointment and I have had it with her. I’m up to the point where I’m about to burn her damn CD. SHe has so much potential and she just wastes it. Pathetic just pathetic I’m done defending her career. The truth is CIARA is sucks and she’s got only herself to blame. Stupid b**** UUUUGGH! SO MUCH TALENT SO MUCH TALENT WASTED!! Give me your Talent and I’ll show you what the f*** to do with it! Dafuq!
ANTONIO I THINK YOU SAID IT BEST LIKE SERIOUSLY.. SHE’S A GOOD FOR NOTHING LAZY SLACKER
