Ciara Has 'Leveled Up' With New Song and Music Video
Ciara finally is coming back with new music, after years of leaving us stranded. I can’t believe that Ciara hasn’t had new music since 2015, with the release of her album Jackie, which we didn’t ask for. But now, as an attempt to revive her career, before she gets lost in our memories, she just…

The Definitive List of People Who May Have Bitten Beyoncé
Earlier this week, after reading Tiffany Haddish’s story about someone biting Beyoncé at an after-party, The Root gathered its NCIS (Niggas [Who] Can Investigate Shit) team together to determine who was the vampire who bit Queen Bey’s face.

NYFW: #BlackElegance at Tom Ford
Last night Tom Ford, one of the sexiest and most highly anticipated runway shows of New York Fashion Week, lit up the runway. But the front row was definitely dark and lovely; including singer Ciara and her hubby, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Time’s Up on Men Telling Single Women How to Be Worthy of Marriage

Over the weekend, singer Ciara caused an internet stir when she posted on Instagram a clip from a sermon by Houston’s Lakewood megachurch pastor John Gray telling single women why they’re not married. “Too many women want to be married but you’re walking in the spirit of ‘girlfriend,’” Pastor…

Perhaps He’s ‘Corny,’ but Russell Wilson Would Definitely Whoop Your Ass (and Future’s Too, if It Ever Came to That)
I’ve stayed away from the recent round of Crunchy Sock Twitter’s discontentment with Russell Wilson’s very public display of affection for his wife, Ciara. Because I’ve written about it before.

These folks are poppin’ em out. Singer Ciara and hubby NFL quarterback Russell Wilson announced the birth of their brown royalty, Sienna Princess Wilson, who made her way into this world Friday night.

Ciara Is a Waste of ‘Crunk&B,’ but Future Is a Terrible Person
Roses are red, violets are blue and Future is a terrible fucking person. This should not be a novel idea to anyone who has ever read a Future interview, scrolled through Future’s social media accounts or listened to most of his catalog. No one should need a member of the Mystery Machine to connect the…

Ciara and Family Pose in New Maternity Shoot
Ciara, Russell Wilson and Toddler Future were all smiles in a family maternity photo shoot. Well, technically, we can’t really tell if Wilson is smiling—because you can’t see his head. The shoot, which was done for Harper’s Bazaar and shot by Dani Brubaker, definitely doesn’t need to be replicated by us everyday folks. But there’s…
