Back in April, Gregory DelliCarpini from Billboard Magazine interviewed Ciara. You can find new pictures from that day in our photo gallery (thanks fuckyeahcici!). The latest issue will be available to buy on May 11.

The show is over! Ciara didn’t say nothing new during the interview, but it was definitely worth to watch! CiCi talked about working with Nicki Minaj, her love for Future and her friendship with Kim Kardashian. I will update this post when somebody uploads the video :) Watch the interview above!
CiCi posted a beautiful photo before the show on her Instagram, click here to see it!

Check out videos of Ciara arriving to the studio and meeting the fans:

Listen above to the Ciara’s interview with Rod 2.0. She discusses “Body Party”, “Ciara” album and many other things. She said she’s getting ready to shot a music video for the next single! We also need to keep checking her official webiste OnyCiara.com where the information about the tour will be posted “not too far from now”.

I have a couple of questions, mostly around the music video of “Body Party.” Four point five million views in one week. How do you feel about that?

It’s definitely pretty cool to be loved by fans and to see that they love what you do. That feels great.

Did you come up with the concept for the “Body Party” video?

I had in my mind the idea and the feeling for what I wanted to accomplish with Director X. We spent literally hours talking about it and fine tuning the concept. We both wanted to make sure that everything we needed was there.

It’s a beautiful video and of course the song is very nice. It reminds me of MJ and the 1990s. Is that what you were going for?

Well, I won’t say I was trying to go for anything that I’ve seen—but I wanted to feel that funk. It makes me feel good that you think that. I do [believe] that with that song there is an expression of where I am. I wanted to go back to when guys weren’t too cool to slow dance and everyone had the best time. A great house party—not the largest house party but just fun. (more…)

Jazze Pha could be the one who did the remix, he wrote “#CantWaitTillYallHearTheREMiX!” on his instagram before Body Party video premiere.

Ciara will be a guest on The Wendy Williams Show on Wednesday, May 8th! She will tell Wendy about her new single, “Body Party” and upcoming album. CiCi’s appearance was announced today on Williams’s website with an attached photo from “Ciara” promo shoot. Love it!

Last time Ciara visited Wendy two years ago to promote “Basic Instinct”.

“Body Party” made its official debut on Billboard Hot 100 at number 35 this week! It’s time to celebrate y’all! So proud of you, CiCi ❤

Hot 100 – #35
R&B/Hip Hop Songs – #8 (+33)
R&B Songs – #2 (+14)
R&B Digital Song: #17
R&B Streaming: #1

As you can see above, “Body Party” is also the most streamed R&B single, mostly because Billboard counts Youtube views, and the music video of “BP” has over 5 million views right now! Keep watching! And don’t forget to:

Via MuuMuse.com: Earlier today, I got on the hotline and spoke with the Thrower of Body Parties, Giver of Fantasy Rides and all-around Crunk-R&B Queen herself, Ciara. You know, as one does.

Why? Well, I wanted to talk about her upcoming record Ciara, obviously—but mostly because I had to get to the bottom of this whole “He Reads” business from the “Body Party” video. I also wanted to know why she’s apparently featured on her own song (“Super Turnt Up”). Oh, and to demand that “Overdose” be released as a single.

I managed to accomplish all three. Let’s get it started.

Hi, Ciara!
How are you?

Good, how are you?
Awesome!

Perfect. I just want to thank you so much for joining me and having this little body party with me right now.
(Laughs) That’s hilarious!

So, the new album is finally coming in July. My question is, at what point did you realize that the album is no longer One Woman Army, but Ciara? Like, was there a certain song that did it?
I feel like it was, more so than anything, a feeling. (more…)

On Tuesday (April 30th), CiBandz were seen at King Of Diamonds strip club in Miami:

Future called in to Hot 107.9 on April 30th and spoke to Emperor Searcy, Mz Shyneka and Mister Smith about a Necole Bitchie article written by a fan that claimed Future refused to take pictures with children when he took his girlfriend Ciara to Andretti Indoor Karting & Games in Roswell over the weekend.

The ATL rapper explained that he wasn’t trying to be rude, but he had promised his son that he would not take any pictures with fans that day and that he was on “daddy time.”

Future also discussed his upcoming album, Future Hendrix, working with Miley Cyrus (ATL’s own Mike Will Made It is producing the majority of her new album) and the ongoing feud between Ciara and Rihanna.

Ciara even joined the discussion in the second part of the interview! Check it out below!

Great news Russian CSquad! You will have a chance to see Ciara live at Gipsy in Moscow for PMS Marathon on May 18! For all the details visit the club’s Facebook page.

VIA MTV NEWS: Nicki Minaj and Ciara had such chemistry creating for the Young Money Barbie’s “I’m Legit” that they decided to do it again on Ciara’s upcoming self-titled album. The as-of-yet unheard “I’m Out” once again pairs Nicki and CiCi, and if you let the Atlanta singer tell it, it’s worth the wait.

“The energy of the record is so dope, and it’s really for the ladies, and Nicki she just killed the verse,” Ciara told MTV News on Monday. “She literally murdered it, like she got that throw-back, that thing that she does that’s so special. She went in.”

Nicki also gushed about Ciara’s upcoming album when we spoke to her at the top of the month. “I was supposed to only do one song for her album and I think I’m going to end up doing two,” Minaj said. “I just love what she’s doing and I’m so proud and I’m really excited for people to hear it.”

On Nicki’s “I’m Legit,” the pair rap and sing about being at the top of their respective game, even when they aren’t in full makeup or diva garb. It’s quite the girl anthem. As of now, only “I’m Out” is the only Nicki-collab slated to appear on Ciara, but CiCi confirmed that there may be another. “It’s looking like it. She’s actually finishing up one now that’s really it’s a monster too,” she said. “The moments that we have had so far have just been crazy. It’s just been magical, it’s been something special and I feel like the fans have always wanted to see she and I rock together.”
