In our second and final instalment, Ciara talks about Bow Wow, working with Patti Labelle and shares her beauty tips!

Words: Emmanuel J. Ezugwu

Soulja girl: You came out around the same time as Rihanna and Chris Brown. Do you ever feel any competition?
Well I came out before Rihanna and Chris brown and I think that we're all very different from each other. If you want to look for comparisons, I think at least me and Chris Brown dance. Rihanna doesnt. But I think that in the way we do things its definitely different from each other. Especially with me and Rihanna our styles are different and our way of performing is different. Our musics very different too. I have been blessed so far with the success of my record so I dont think too deep into her success.

Chris: Would you ever do a collaboration album with Rihanna like Bow Wow and Omarion have done?
An album? Im not sure. Maybe a song, absolutely.

If you could choose a female artist to do an album with, who would it be?
You know who I think is really talented and amazing? Alicia Keys, shes great.

Carissa: You were very public about your relationship with Bow Wow in your future relationships will you learn to be more guarded?
I think theres definitely some things I could have done different then the last time. I think its also about going with whats genuine too... I cant say exactly what those things would be but there is definitely some things I learnt from the last experience.

Are you still on speaking terms with Bow Wow?
We dont talk like that in terms of conversation but if I was to bump into him I would definitely say hi.

Ezra: You have an amazing figure do you have any diet tips?
Thanks. Its all about drinking tonnes of water. Getting cardio in and also I do weight training.

Weight training? That sounds a little excessive...
(laughs) Its only light weight training, to give me some tone and definition. My dancing also helps me aswell.

Alicia: What is your daily beauty regime?
Hmmm...Washing my face first thing in the morning. Then I put sunscreen on my face, its a moisturiser that has sunscreen in it to keep my skin really fresh and vibrant. Also sometimes I do a face scrub. I dont do it everyday but three days out of the week and that helps to keep the skin glowing and take down some of dead skin cells.

Youre working on a new film with Patti Labelle. What was is it like working together?
She was so sweet and welcoming. She made the filming experience even more fun and her attitude, she was so humble. She was inspiring because I feel humility is the key to your success and I appreciate it because of her great attitude. She has a young spirit.

Have you ever come across an artist you were a fan of who had a huge ego?
Absolutely. That has happened to me before for a person that I really, really looked up to. There arent that many artists that Ive really been in to and I met this female artist and she still was as beautiful as I always thought she was but the way she was with me was very awkward. I was like "wow". I had so much respect for this person and when I go to meet her, she wasnt nice and everything opposite of what I could have imagined. It was defiantly shocking.

Ronny: What is your New Years Resolutions?
Im very stubborn so maybe I can work on that a little bit. Also I want to continue to work out and be consistent with my work out because sometimes I go crazy and eat, eat, eat and eat. I need to stop doing that because I dont think its healthy.

Kyle: whats been youre biggest extravagance apart from a house or car?
I bought a jacket that was very expensive. It was a Gucci jacket and those things can be quite high

How much?
Its embarrassing (laughs). I was thinking what was I doing and I still have the tag on it so I might just take it back and do something else with that money.

Finally, anything else you want to add?
I just want to thank the fans for all there love and support. I think I have the best fans in the world truly. I love you all and hope to see yall soon!
