With a new album reportedly on the way and the general public still head over heels in love with her smash hit single ‘Body Party’, Ciara has taken the time to pen an open letter to her fans today.
Yes, in an unlocking the oft guarded book that is her life, the mild-mannered maestra held nothing back when thanking her ‘Squad’ for their support and the friends that are helping her to find inner peace and joy amidst the insanity that is the music industry.
Warm words from the bold beauty below…
Pointless crap
The beginning of what?
LOOOL
She obviously has alot of time to write these letters!
Beginning of what? The End?
AWWWWW, THIS WARMED MY HEART!
Csquad LOVEs YOU Ci, CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS IN STORE FOR 2014
Im glad shes happy people like @Slay_Hive really need stfu and get off Ciaras c***. Go listen to that rip off Beyonce album and leave Queen Ciara alone biitch boy.
ciara, ciara, ciara……Why don’t u just tell your fans what is going on with the album, video for overdose or just anything relating to your music! I am not a fan and it is pissing me off. You seem to be worried about who is your friends and who isn’t. You keep saying for the last 3 years “it’s only the beginning”. You start things and don’t finish and don’t let your fans know what is going on. You owe that much to your TRUE fans. You are so right about if the industry was the only thing you ha in your life, you won’t have anything, because it looks like you don’t have anything any more. Just tell you fans something, anything. The fast way to lose fans is to not let them know what is going on.
Is Sad To be Honest, I will admit she has some potential, but something is always F***** up for her.
Loved her words though.
*sigh*
C squad will always love Ciara we have such a strong amazing and REAL connection with Ciara unlike other Artist who only use their fans (Beyonce Gaga Rihanna)
@FutureCiara love your avi.Ciara is so gorgeous
Ciara needs to step it up. I listen to a lot of artist and enjoy their music like the Janet Jacksons, Beyonces, Whitney, Mariah and etc but when you put out a crappy album like the recent one with the crappy pop songs that did her no justice.
I like Ciara but perhaps building a brand, promoting yourself properly in the public eye should be more of the focus for her.
I just hope that she comes out with a better album and better singles because while releasing a big song like “Body Party” and just to have poor follow ups…… smh
“It is only just beginning” , “We’re just getting started”
REALLY!! 10+ years into your ‘career’ and your just getting started? What the hell have you been doing then . Were all those flop albums warm up for THE ultimate flop?
@TheTruth b**** go f*** yourself its not my fault Vh1 named Lana the 2nd biggest flop of 2013 Lmao.
Ciara has real fans, especially if you’ve been supporting her since the Goodies era. If you can still love an artist through all their BS and flop eras, And still enjoy everything the artist puts an effort in, Thats what defines a real fan to me, Through the thick and thin…
Most stans jump on the bandwagon of an artist simply because its easy to brag about album/ or single sales… (i.e When Rosie and 50% of TGJ commenters hopped on the Beyhive after she dropped her suprise album)
Its a talent to be able to notice the true stans from the ones that decide to jump on the bandwagon for the ride just because it looks promising with bragging rights and winning stan wars online….
Thats where most of the Beyhive and Navy come in… Because God knows The Navy act like Rihanna’s career didnt begin until GGGB, they somehow seem to have amnesia when it comes to the era before GGGB.. Its no shade though.. I like them all, and I used to be a die hard Bey fan and I still live for Bey, but the Hive and Navy F**** know they give much sometimes!!. Especially on this blog
Lol this letter made me laugh so hard. Yes all 57k fans are appreciated for making Ci-error the biggest flop ever lol.
Great letter. But it’s pointless to say Its just the beginning if you won’t promote anything and just sit on your potential
STFU u freakin f***! You kno damn well yall was dancin to Ciara at one point so stop it! Its always beys insecure dilusional ass fans coming for every other female artist smh you can love beys boring ass all you want but there is no need to diss others unless of course you feel threatened!
@Iconic Ci, Thanks babe… I love her recent photo shoot she did!! they got some really amazing shots.
When are you going to get one sis?
@FutureCiara your right the hive and navy definitely over hype there fav especially f** navy.
@FutureCiara idk how to get on
one*
why does she keep dropping the ball on promo every era, but had time to write pointless drivel. she needs a real team to guide her. Geez
Oh no! vh1 which has been completely irrelevant for several years called Tropico a flop whatever will I do, lana is DOOMED *sarcasm*. I fail to see how a MUSIC VIDEO can be a bigger flop than albums like BRITNEY JEAN or AZEALIA BANKS. It’s a half hour music video with 5 million combined views , most people do not have the attention spans to last more then 5 minutes. Tropico was made for the fans to close off the born to die era and signal the new ULTRAVIOLENCE one – a purpose it has done perfectly, I fail to see how it’s a flop.
STFU u freakin f***! You kno damn well yall was dancin to Ciara at one point so stop it! Its always beys insecure dilusional ass fans coming for every other female artist smh you can love beys boring ass all you want but there is no need to diss others unless of course you feel threatened!
The hive mad because all Beyonce does is uses them they are f****** pathetic and nothing but slaves to that b****.

Awwwww i love you CiCi, im sure next year will be an amazing/successful year for you c squad got your back babe, f*** all you h*** who think otherwise.
lmao @ ‘after 10yrs plus of doing this’…. sis you’ve been in the industry a good 9yrs, and made some sort of impact for about 4 or maybe 5 of those years. don’t act like you a vet or achieved some noteworthy s***. 5 records & almost a decade in the game and you done sold a measly 7million albums WW.
do better, put your all in this s***, leave the hollywood socialites alone, leave the fashion industry alone, develop your f****** craft! Rih came after you and she’s already at Icon status, let that be your motivation to work harder. smfh
I’m not even a part of the C squad and I have enough patience to wait for Ciara’s next move. I think we need to cut her some slack! We don’t know what obstacles she’s facing. It could be anything from label trouble to being reluctant to announce that she’s pregnant (because she’s still in the early stages). Ciara doesn’t owe anyone anything, but her music. We are not her friends or family and we don’t have a right to know anything personal that she does not wish to divulge yet. This reminds me of how everyone complained about waiting for Bey’s new music, but didn’t understand the wait until she explained it all in the end. Sometimes you have to let people be. Ciara’s happy, so just allow her to sort everything out on her own! If your not even a fan none of this should concern you at all.
10 years into your career and you’re just getting started. LOL.
Dead at y’all using an irrelevant VH1 (who?) list to call Lana a flop. I doubt they have any credibility. Still doesn’t change the fact that she outsold Cierror’s last three albums combined.
Chile I’m not even gonna do it. Good luck Ciara.
The beginning of what? Another flop year? lololol.
Flop.
Last 3? You mean 4, and she’s on course to outsell her entire discography. 7million albums WW are ciara’s receipts, and she and her fans swear she been killing the game for a smooth decade. embarrassing

LMAO @ SMH. Lana will easily outsell his discography worldwide with Ultraviolence.
Dead @the Ci-flop stans claiming that people are hating on Ciara when all these flop stans do is drag other artists. did it ever occur to you that Ciara gets dragged because yall come for everybody elses favorite as if its our fault that her career is struggling. yall like to drag Beyonce and Rihanna, but at least they can still sell albums, while Ciara has some of the lowest album sales of the year out of all the other R&B artists. She still hasnt even sold 200k yet and most of these “so called stans” probably dont even buy her music themsleves.
I respect you for that @ROYALKEV
As for that b**** @Rosie, kick rocks! Its a shame to see you back on Lana’s p**** when you just switched sides to the Beyhive earlier this month……you were riding HARD for Beys success and you dont even get like that for Lana..
Im curious as to what you’ll do when Ultraflop bombs!!
Lana doesnt need fans like you doll, Hang it up….. And what a f****** coincidence that you are lurking yet again in another Ciara post..
She loves you to though, You see, this letter also included you @Rosie, your her #1 FAN b****! I don’t know whether to welcome you to #Csquad or not.. Im soo confused
don’t blame the Business blame your wack ass self. biting the hand that feeds you.
U acting like u got inside info lmao gtfo wit that mess!

I honestly feel sorry for her. It seems like she is always penning letters of excuses to why she barely gets by. She hasnt done one thing to make sure she will be remembered years from now. The beginning needs to be a new team…new marketing strategy, new everything. Maybe she needs to create an alter ego, and go bananas crazy…..it helped Bey and Nicki.
Good luck, Ciara!
Girl good bye. Instead of continuing to promote her album she decided to be Future’s call girl, Goodbye.
I think what Ciara is trying to say is that her personal life comes first … and that it is important to balance ur professional and personal life…
It is fine to make ur personal life a priority but here is the problem with CIARA …
Lots of BIG artists like Beyonce and Alicia Keys balance personal and professional lives well.
the difference is that when ALICIA, KEYSHIA COLE, BEYONCE etc… decide to drop a CD, they WORK HARD and go all in….
If u committ to something then give 100 percent!!!
I mean Keyshia Cole only sold like 370,000 CDs but she made her money on tour… She even did a European tour.
Alicia & Beyonce balance their lives out but when they punch in that clock they are not HALF A**… THEY WORK!
If u are gonna drop an album then work ur songs… promote ur album more than one week after it is dropped and then do a tour.
This sounds like nothing more than excuses.
It is soooooo sad to see the most talented stage act out there not do shows or promote her music.
She should be an arena artist by now. I mean even Keyshia Cole is doing 3000 – 5000 seat venues… SIGH
I just don’t know how many time she’s gonna write the SAME letter of “hope in the future” every time her album(s) flop. I like Ciara, I truly do but it’s the SAME thing every album era; she hypes it up like it’ll be THE BIGGEST AND BEST ERA ever, shuffles through countless singles in hopes of one sticking and even if one does, she STILL drops the ball after he album comes out, MOSTLY DUE TO HER STANS NOT BUYING SH*T! I just don’t know anymore….
Seriously, I thought I was the only one that thought Beyonce ripped off Rihanna, Tamar Braxton, K. Michelle, Ciara. I would never deny Beyonce’s talent. However, I recognized the similarities immediately.
Idk why people dislike Ciara. I think she is so talented. Her music is refreshing and funky and fun. Her looks are a solid 10. Ciara puts all types of women to shame. She seems very nice. I just don’t like when she plays shy b/c when she hits that stage ain’t nothing shy about her. I would like to see her act more. I wish her the best and will support her.
