With ‘The Color Purple’ off to a blazing start at the US box office, Ciara has joined her castmates in celebrating the film everyone is talking about.
As reported, the singer – who gave birth to her fourth child earlier this month – plays adult Nettie in the Blitz Bazawule-directed film.
Reimagined as a musical, the latest incarnation of Alice Walker‘s beloved tale also sees CiCi appear on its star-studded soundtrack.
In a touching post, the ‘Level Up’ performer reflects on what the moment means to her and her trajectory at large.

“One of my proudest accomplishments of my career and this year! This was truly an honor to be a part of this beautiful ensemble. Thank you @BlitzAmbassador for believing in me. Me as Nettie! @TheColorPurple Out Now 💜”
