‘Category Is Mind Your Business’: Ciara’s Spicy Instagram Video Sparks Debate Among Fans Who Claim the Singer Is Showing Too Much Skin

Ciara caused a commotion under her recent Instagram video after some fans claimed the singer showed too much skin. 

The 37-year-old singer rocked a black cut-out midi-styled dress with a sheer bottom and a slit making its way to her hip. Wearing black sandals with heels, she walked down a flight of stairs like they were her own personal runway.

While Ciara’s bone-straight, honey blond hair helped her melanated skin to pop out, it was her little surprise at the end of the video that tied her look all together. 

As Ciara was about to enter her vehicle, she walked past the camera, exposing her double cheeked-up cakes to fans.

The singer simply put a black heart as a caption for her video that received over 2.5 million views.

Ciara’s spicy look sparked a debate in her comments section between fans who claimed that the singer was showing too much skin and fans urging folks to stop policing women’s bodies. 

“She’s beautiful but she needs to stop showing skin on the gram”

“Wondering why people feel the need to tell a grown woman how to dress? Why?”

“You’re beautiful but doing too much!”

“Category is mind your business [heart eyes] she looks amazing!”

Ciara’s body never strays from being a popular topic of conversations for fans due to her toned physique. In November, the “Body Party” singer left folks speechless after showing off her athletic build while promoting “Better Thangs,” her hit single with Summer Walker.

Rocking an all-leather attire consisting of a black bodysuit, black thigh highs and a black jacket, Ciara put fans in a trance as she posed in an assortment of places.   

In a 2021 interview with Oprah, Ciara opened up about joining Weight Watchers to help her lose 48 pounds. 

While she shared she was super close to reaching her goal, she also expressed that she recognized the importance of showing her own body grace, especially after birthing three babies. 

“Love every step of the process, embrace every step of the process. And I just feel so much more empowered because of that,” she shared.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
