What happened to things making sense."https://twitter.com/WizMonifaaa/status/1564762233728602112?s=20&t=0U0TIoRfNWdhvRJMWKvKRwAnother user wrote, "I feel like she should have done something fitness related instead. Like I'd buy Ciara leggings and dumbbells. Face wash? Nah I'm good."https://twitter.com/LaNoireDe/status/1564778159517700096?s=20&t=0U0TIoRfNWdhvRJMWKvKRwOther users defended her and called out the negative comments saying that they are bitter and don't want to see Black women win.Despite the unsupportive users, one thing is true: Ciara is going to continue to do what she wants, how she wants.
