Ciara’s back with her latest studio project. The album includes the fuull Cici EP, tracks she’s released since and 4 new tracks! In fact, she also dropped off a new video for the track Dance With Me (feat Tyga).
Ciara took to her social media to announce that she has things that she’d like to do for CSquad before the album drops, and therefore she is pushing the album back until August 22, 2025. We look forward to what she has in store.
Ciara and her daughter Sienna Princess Wilson made a stylish mother-daughter appearance at The Connie Orlando Foundation’s inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner, held on June 3, 2025, in Los Angeles.
The duo turned heads in matching black and white pantsuits, showcasing their fashion sense. The evening served as a celebration of Black women’s contributions to the music industry—and Ciara was one of the night’s honorees.
The singer was recognized for her accomplishments and lasting influence on music at the inaugural event, which was established to honor the Black women who continue to shape the industry. Joining her on the list of honorees were Sylvia Rhone, June Ambrose, Phylicia Fant, DJ Kiss, and Flo Ngala—all recognized for their impact on music and culture.
In addition to celebrating trailblazers in entertainment, the evening marked The Connie Orlando Foundation’s first official fundraiser. The event supported breast cancer awareness and research, with a mission to equip women with essential knowledge, resources, and support. HarbourView Equity Partners, led by Sherrese Clarke, partnered with the foundation as a founding sponsor.
“Black women in music continue to be a transcendent and driving force of creative expression, shaping the musical landscape and enriching diverse cultures worldwide. Their contributions are not just transformative; they are the heartbeat of innovation and culture. It is an immense honor to celebrate the trailblazing careers of Ciara, June Ambrose, Phylicia Fant, Sylvia Rhone, DJ Kiss, and Flo Ngala at our inaugural event,” Orlando said in a statement.
Ciara shares Sienna, now 8, with husband Russell Wilson. The couple, who wed in 2016, also share son Win Harrison, 4, and daughter Amora Princess, born in December 2023. Ciara is also mom to Future Zahir, 11, from her previous relationship with rapper Future.
Normani did a recent interview with Elle Magazine, and during the interview she calls on Cici for a prank, telling her she will be on the next season of “The Bachelorette”.
Today’s solar phenomenon was eclipsed by the supernova announcement of global superstar Missy Elliott’s history-making debut headline tour, OUT OF THIS WORLD — The Missy Elliott Experience. Continuing her stellar dominance as one of the most significant artists in music, the pioneer of female Hip Hop/R&B will land in arenas across North America this summer with Hip Hop legend Busta Rhymes, Multi-Platinum selling superstar Ciara, and mega producer Timbaland.
“This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour,” shares Elliott. “Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family! So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!”
This summer’s hottest ticket is produced by Live Nation in association with Mona Scott-Young, Elliott’s longtime manager and CEO of Monami Entertainment, and represented by Seth Shomes through Day After Day Productions (DADP). The 24-city run blasts off on July 4 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, making stops across North America in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and more, before wrapping up in Rosemont at Allstate Arena on August 22.
Scott-Young adds, “Missy has always been an iconic groundbreaker and continuously pushes herself to be bolder and go where she has never been before – and surprisingly, one of those places is headlining her own tour! For decades, fans and peers worldwide have clamored for Missy to tour and they’re finally going to get what they’ve been asking for as she teams up with Ciara, Busta, and longtime partner-in-rhyme Timbaland, to deliver a start-to-finish, nonstop, high-octane, OUT OF THIS WORLD concert experience. This will be one for the books, so trust me, you don’t want to miss it!”
Always on the cutting edge, Elliott conceptualized an OUT OF THIS WORLD visual to skyrocket the tour announcement when she reunited with longtime collaborators – director extraordinaire Dave Meyers (“Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” “Pass That Dutch”); celebrity super-stylist and 2024 NAACP Image Awards Fashion Vanguard Award recipient June Ambrose; and acclaimed creative director Hi-Hat (The Voice) – to bring her intergalactic vision to life.
