Ciara is considered one of the baddest and gorgeous women in black entertainment, she is definitely supported by these white fashion designers, her team is made up of white people. I think the problem with Ciara's music success (or lack of) is her struggling to land on a sound that's right for her. She's experimented with Pop, just like Janet did in the 90s and 00s but the industry changed too drastically and too soon, she was trying to incorporate marketing tactics that worked for Janet in the 90s - All for You era but these tactics don't really work in the newer era. She simply struggled to stay ahead of the curb. The moment 2007 came, crunk was over. She has enough songwriting and vocal talent to do different sounds and pull them off (Love Sex Magic, I'm On, Overdose, Give Me Love) those are great pop-leaning records as well as her r&b mid-tempo love songs (Promise, Can't Leave Em Alone, Body Party). However she paid $100k to get the video done for Gimmie Dat, her label wouldn't back it and they even had the song removed from urban radio, so she struggled with label support for many many years, if you don't have a machine behind you, you're not really in the competition.
