Ciara breaks silence on rumored Rihanna rift

Ciara says her bad blood with Rihanna is water under the bridge – or off the singer’s umbrella.

The 39-year-old vocalist, appearing Thursday on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, revealed that past tension with the Barbados-born beauty has disappeared since a testy tweet exchange 14 years ago.

‘CiCi got a lot of love for RiRi,’ said the Austin, Texas-born beauty, who is married to New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson.

The feud between the stunning singers started in February of 2011, when Ciara admitted she and Rihanna hadn’t been on the best of terms while appearing on the E! series Fashion Police.

‘I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn’t the nicest and it’s crazy because I’ve always loved and respected what she’s done with fashion,’ said the Ride singer. ‘I’ve ran into her before, but this time it wasn’t the most pleasant run-in.’

The Oh singer said that she and Rihanna have both matured and traded their youthful rivalries for parental responsibilities.

Ciara is parents to four kids: son Future Zahir 11, with rapper Future; and with Wilson, daughter Sienna Princess, eight, son Win Harrison, four, and Amora Princess, one.

Rihanna is mom to two kids with ASAP Rocky – sons RZA Athelston Mayers, two, and Riot Rose Mayers, one – and expecting her third.

‘Oh my gosh, we were babies – now we’re mamas doing our thing – it’s all love,’ the 1, 2 Step singer said.

Ciara said that she recently crossed paths with Rihanna at the Met Gala last month.

The skilled singer-dancer made clear she’s on good terms with Rihanna, as they ‘got to have a good conversation.

‘She’s now having her third baby, which is so cool – so shout out to mamas out here doing everything!’

After Ciara was critical of the S&M singer on the E! series, Rihanna replied to the onscreen snub tweeting, ‘My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme.’

Ciara replied, ‘Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off the stage’ to which Rihanna said in reply, ‘U gangsta huh? Haaa. Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.’

In the appearance, Ciara fielded a number of other questions from host Andy Cohen about the state of the music and entertainment industry.

Ciara said she ‘of course’ was happy for Taylor Swift after the Grammy-winner bought back her master tapes, adding that it was an ‘exciting’ development for artists.

The singer, looking stunning in a blue suit with her dark tresses down and parted, said that she felt concert tickets were rising in price at an ‘interesting’ rate, and that she hoped to keep costs down for her upcoming tour.   

‘Crazy, right? When I do my tour, I’m gonna make them as low as possible,’ she said. ‘I want everybody to come.’

Asked by Cohen what she thought this summer’s biggest hit would be, Ciara replied, ‘My song – Ecstasy; remix featuring my girls Teyana Taylor and Normani.’

She said she and Taylor and Normani have been ‘working’ on putting together a memorable video in support of the track.

‘Us ladies got to get together for the fans,’ Ciara said.
