To my fans:

This week the net has been a buzz of the rumor that I have been dropped from my label. At this point that rumor is false.. It is true that I have asked and I pray that my label will release me. I have had some great times and success with my label, but sometimes like all great things, its at that point where I feel we don't share the same views on who I am as a artist. The past two albums have been very frustrating for me. At times there were songs I chose to lead a project and I was ignored! This project, I even tried to get Gimmie Dat started I spent tens of thousands of my own money only to hear the radio pds tell me my label didn't want the song played. I even spent more than one hundred thousand dollars out of my pocket on the video to bring my vision to it and still no label support. I do understand that some labels are not financially supporting their artists and I have become one of them. You, my fans, know that I strive to do my best to deliver to my you the best songs and creative vision I possibly can. I'm dedicated to my music, performance and to my fans! I've tried to be a team player with the label only to have compromised what I truly believed.. And was not given the right opportunity to promote and inform my fans of the release of this album..I have so much of me as a artist I still want to give to the world and my fans. A release would allow me to go be creative with people who care and understand me as a artist. In a short time, I will be able to bring to you a new music energy and a visual excitement! Thank you so much for standing by me through the good, bad, and the confusion. I love you all.

Love Ciara

I love how she is blaming all her problems on the record label She can't accept the fact that people simply don't want to buy her music.

in the states, but i don't watch television, nor do i listen to commercial radio. i do radio, but it's on a non-commercial station which doesn't play top 40. so i don't really know much about a lot of modern popular culture.

CHIIILE! Well I am glad she actually came out and said something. Sad that she is moving downhill..she had alot of potential

Career-wise,she is headed down the same path as Mya and Ashanti....two heavily hyped female artists who bored listeners after a few albums.

They all just need to have modeling careers. Their careers in music are over.

I hear you on Mya and Ashanti. Mya never quite made it as big as Ashanti was in her prime but always had potential. Mya's probably one of the best dancers on the scene but haven't been able to get that big breakthrough song or album.

Ashanti fell HARD!

I remember the 2002 controversy. Patti LaBelle of all people was bigging her up the most saying she had a bright future. Nine years later and Ashanti hasn't had a hit in five years.

In 2002,people were acting like Ashanti was the new Queen of R&B/pop/hip-hop I can't believe how much she was being hyped up.They made a big deal over the fact that she wrote her own lyrics.One of her songs consists of the phrase "awww baby" over and over

LOL! It's like the equivalent of writing a term paper in school and using one word over and over just so that you could meet the word requirement.

Yep
