It seems that the trail of negative headlines about Ciara‘s parental skills may lead to Future‘s front door.

Music lovers who’d written off Grammy winning stageblazer Ciara after the unforgiving dismissal of her third and fourth albums, ‘Fantasy Ride’ and ‘Basic Instinct’ respectively, were in for a rude awakening when her self-titled project dropped in 2013.

A return to prominence of sorts for the dancing diva, the album waltzed its way to a top 5 debut on the Billboard 200 courtesy of the modern-day slow jam ‘Body Party’ and other supporting cuts.  The truest test of her commercial relevance in the day’s music market, however, would be passed if the reignited momentum could carry on to its follow-up.  The answer to the challenge would arrive in a somewhat unlikely single choice:  ‘I Bet.’

Perceived as a clear clapback to her highly publicized relationship woes with former fiance/rapper Future, ‘I Bet’ was greeted with mixed reviews as some praised the singer for the tune’s brazen content while others expressed disappointment over its dated sound.  A slow, but steady climb up the Billboard Hot 100 (thanks to promotional appearances and radio play) would prove ‘I Bet’ a sure bet – a “winner” in some contexts given the unfavorable treatment “pure R&B” tracks were receiving on the pop charts in 2015.

However, that relative “win” would not be enough to launch the song’s parent album, ‘Jackie,’ to the heights of any of its predecessors:

Ciara brought her booming brand of stage-blazing to New Orleans last night as headliner at the final show of the 2016 Essence Festival.

The sassy siren’s set followed previous gigs from Maxwell and Mariah Carey at the three-day event.

During the 30-year-old’s show, which was watched by fiance Russell Wilson and close friend Kelly Rowland, she delighted with hits such as ‘Body Party,’ ‘Promise,’ and ‘Goodies.’

The coveted slot comes at an interesting time for the singer. She recently parted ways with Epic Records and has told fans she’s working on her best album yet.

Future is hot on the charts and hot in the headlines. It’s fitting, then, that he’s scores a spot a-front of the eternally blazing Rolling Stone.

Beyond his music ventures, the turn-up King used the high-profile feature to shatter the silence surrounding his tumultuous break-up with Ciara. And its aftermath.

The latter has fascinated many. Especially following the court drama (Ci sued Future for libel …he countersued) as well as the role her fiance Russell Wilson is playing in the life of their son Future Zahir.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Bow Wow and Ciara were the “it” teen couple of music.

Covering a number of Urban and teen-skewed publications, rumors of the duo’s dating life were hushed when their hit ‘Like You’ dominated the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005 and confirmed they were indeed an item.

Fast forward a decade after the two went their separate ways, they are both parents and seem to have left their time together far in their rearview.  However, thanks to an interview with our friends over at VladTV, Bow admits he reminisces often on his time with the former ‘princess of crunk N’B.’

Recounting a never-before-told run down of what caused their breakup, tuck in to hear the rapper/actor dish on his love for Cici, thoughts on Future and Russell Wilson, and so much more.  If you missed any of part of his heartwarming statements, they all await below:
