Slim Thug Says There’s No Way Ciara Is Happy with Russell Wilson

Slim Thug isn’t buying that Ciara is happy in her marriage to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. The rapper explained his reasoning during a stop on 97.9 The Box Thursday, Aug. 2 saying that the singer’s ex-fiancé exemplifies why she can’t possibly be satisfied with Wilson.

“Do a woman who used to talk to Future really want a Russell Wilson?” he asks pointedly. “I don’t believe it. I think it’s all for financial stability. I don’t think that — after you like the dude who cool, homeboy just … “No hate, I bought his shoes the other day for the Sugar Daddy Slim outfit. I’m just saying, I have no personal issue with him, or her, God bless them.

“He’s just a corny dude, ain’t nothing wrong with it,” Thug adds. “I ain’t gonna say corny cause that’s hatin’. He’s just like a square…I don’t believe that a girl who come from a street dude could even adapt to it.”

Thug stopped short of saying CiCi is a golddigger by acknowledging the “Level Up” performer has earned her own success, but he doesn’t believe their relationship is “real.”

Meanwhile, folks online have been weighing in on Slim’s remarks.

“Darn it, doesn’t Every Gurl deserve at least ONE Thug and a Bow Wow or 2 when they young? Then we grow up, evolve and Level UP. Double standard. Men would never wife up sum of their thots.”

“He a hater and it’s sad that a good guy is seen as soft because he loves his lady right.”

“Russell respects and loves Ciara. Real women want to be protected and to be cared for. Russell is providing all of it and more. Slim whatever is hating hard.”

Ciara was in a relationship with Future from 2013 until it ended in a broken engagement the following year. Before their split, however, she welcomed their son Future Zahir.

Afterward, Ciara began dating Wilson in 2016 before getting engaged in 2016. They famously remained celibate until after they became man and wife and then quickly became pregnant with their first child together.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
