A former NFL linebacker incited backlash over the weekend after weighing in on the authenticity of the marriage of Russell Wilson and Ciara.
Channing Crowder, now a host on the ‘Pivot Podcast,’ waxed honest about his thoughts on the power couple (just three months shy of their sixth wedding anniversary) – taking to a recent episode of the platform to discuss Ciara’s dating history.
Needless to say, his statements – which included suggestions Cici only married Russell for his money – didn’t sit well with the diva’s supporters and fans (affectionately called the #CSquad).
Look inside to see the hoopla that erupted as Crowder’s comments began making their rounds on the net.

As seen in the clip above (captured by our friends at TNT), Crowder claims Ciara’s history of dating rappers doesn’t align with Wilson’s persona.
“If Russell if ain’t have that bread, Ciara ain’t gon be with him,” the former Miami Dolphin declared. “Russell [is a ] ‘square,’ Ciara has a good situation, but you don’t leave Future and get with Russell Wilson.”
Channing’s assertion set off a firestorm of clap backs on Cici’s behalf. See highlights below.
This is exactly why Will Smith broke character. Russell stays in his lane yet ALL these guys keep attacking him & his wife.
Who the f*ck is he to say what Ciara should be into?? Men can date all FLAVORS of Women but Ciara can only like a certain type of man?? GTFOH! These guys are so bothered Ciara see Russell as desirable & no longer see Future as the epitome of MANHOOD. It’s called growth dumba$$.
Talk about ALL these grown men dating women barely out of High school since you’re against GOLD DIGGERS.
You are you right! They act as if 1) women can’t change their mind, and 2) that the choices they made before were actually “their type”
Diva loves some Ciara💅🏾 It’s a shame that she ain’t Beyoncé and Rihanna’s level. She’s the whole package that Normani wishes she can be🤣😂🤣 Diva is doing my happy dance to 1,2 steps👠
STFU tranñy. Don’t nobody give a s**** about what yo disgusting h***** infested mouth got to say 👄🦠 .
Flop a s s Ciara 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL!
Is your Queen still farting on IG LIVE??
They say “birds” of a feather flock together.
Ciara’s biggest flop sold more than 460 first week
We don’t know how much Beyoncé sells since tidal been exposed for fraud numbers 😂😂😂 but the gift tanked so bad even the hive forgot
Ciara gets paid for her personality and ability to sell products as well. Beyoncé dry ass could never
Who was she supposed to marry? A n**** who works in a call center? Y’all h*** mad cus CiCi is a KEPT woman😭
Ciara may not be on Beyonce’s level, but she has problems and her marriage isn’t one.
We have this idea that Beyonce is living the dream. IS SHE? She’s with a man who is SIGNIFICANTLY older than her, who cheated on her despite being out of her league….
I’d choose to be a “corny Ciara” over a “Boss Beyonce” everyday.
Y’all have an interesting idea of “winning”. Beyonce won with some lovely kids, but her man? Come on. What really matters isn’t album sales, but TRUE LOVE and genuine happiness. Jay-Z does not love Beyonce. She is a trophy to him.
Crowder wants to date Future, just say that and leave Ciara and her happiness out of your pinned up aggression and jealously towards Russell Wilson. Doesn’t Crowder have to cosplay as Catwoman or something for his wife. That’s where his energy should be at.
