CIARA HAS NOT BEEN DROPPED FROM JIVE, BUT WISHES TO BE

Ciara is denying the rumors that she has been dropped from Jive, but she is wishing that they would. Her past couple album sales have been lacking. Check out the statements she made via Facebook: 

“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.”

I personally do not care if Ciara is dropped or not because I'm not a fan. Her musical talent is lacking and I'm surprised she's made it this far. The fact that she's pretty much BEGGING to be dropped bothers me. We'll see if her music improves in the absence of Jive, but I honestly doubt it. Shaking your ass only gets you so far.
