Ciara Responds To Internet Criticism For Having Son Around Russell Wilson (VIDEO)

Ciara has received a lot of backlash from those who believe she has had her new boyfriend, NFL player Russell Wilson, around her young son with Future too early in their relationship. During a visit to CBS This Morning she finally broke her silence about the criticism that has been sent way.

“It’s been very interesting to hear what a lot of guys have had to say,” she said. “And I feel like in a sense it’s a bit of a double standard because at one point in time when we were together, I took care of his kids as well.”

The Jackie singer said that she tried reaching out to Future regarding the situation but he did not want to talk to her.

“I don’t know what more they would expect me to do than just live my life, and that’s what I’m doing.”

With success there comes criticism. With this said, some critics have noted The Weeknd’s success but also claim he is not authentic R&B. Critics claim The Weeknd fits into the category of new wave pseudo R&B. What are your thoughts?

CiCi makes a great point. She basically says it wasn’t a problem when she was playing step mom to Future’s 1100 kids. There seems to be a bit of a double standard here, and CiCi wanted to make sure she addressed it! If Ciara is in a serious relationship with Wilson, why wouldn’t she have baby Future around him?

The married Mike Epps, was recently busted by his wife for his risque social media behavior. Perhaps in an attempt to deflect some of the spotlight’s glare, the veteran comedian has recently uploaded a YouTube video, where he the spoofs  Ghostface Killah’s message to Action Bronson.

Back in July, Ironman released a video where he candidly shared his thoughts. This response followed Action’s appearance on ESPN’s Sports Nation. Pretty Tony challenged the Queens MC and rhetorically asked things like, “Who gives you the right to even mention my name out your m############ mouth? Boy, you done made a mistake.”

Below, check out the video. Did Mike Epps rendition do the original video justice?

 

Stalley – “Boomin”

Stalley gives us a nice joint to ride to with the video, and spits some real life isht on the track. From having a task force kick the door in to rebounding and making his way back with his BCG crew, Stalley is as real as it gets despite the fact that he’s one of the more quiet MMG acts. This next project Ohio, might the a gem.

Yasiin Bey – “Basquiat Ghostwriter”

Cut between Basquiat clips and Yasiin, this new joint “Basquiat Ghostwriter” is a great take on abstract poetry and rap. What is the artist formerly known as Mos Def talking about? It’s difficult to say but if you run this song back a few times the message becomes more clear. After challenging his fellow rappers to a battle a few weeks back amidst the Meek Mill & Drake beef, it’s possible that this has something to do with money taking over the culture, exploitation, art, and the age old question of whether or not ghostwriting is legit. Def some food for thought beyond the trap.
