Ciara's back, and she's definitely a force to be reckoned with!
In a recent interview with The Guardian, CiCi discusses the revamped success of her sometimes overlooked music career. According to the "Body Party" songstress, she's just as important and influential as other big-name female artists including Rihanna and Beyonce:
"You know what I think? Everything's about timing. I've had records just as big as those artists, I've had No. 1 songs around the world. My biggest competition is me... There's no doubt in my mind how high up this train can go... I faced those challenges. I don't see myself beneath Beyonce and Jay-Z, I don't see myself above them. I'm in my own world, hungry to grow."
The 29-year-old R&B darling does perhaps deserve such recognition - out of six total studio album releases, 2010's Basic Instinct is the only record NOT able to reach the US' Top Five.
And the "Goodies" beauty still has faith that things will only get better:
"I don't know if I'll still be doing music 20 years from now. It's the foundation of my business, but I want to be a successful entrepreneur. I know I'm gonna be it... I'm on videotape aged 17 at high school graduation saying, 'I'm gonna have a No. 1 song in the Billboard chart and sell 3m copies of my debut album.' One year later I had a No. 1 song in the Billboard chart for eight [actually seven] weeks, and I sold 5m copies of my debut. Now I'm on this next chapter in my life and I can assure you: give me 10 years, it's gonna be great. I believe it."
So, do MstarsNews readers think Ciara's bragging just a tad bit too much, or is she just happy and proud to have such a strong and prosperous career?
Maybe such remarks will end the ongoing feud between RiRi and Bey... don't steal their shine!
Ciara's latest album Jackie was just released on May 4 [2015].
