‘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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
