Ciara has had quite the weekend. After posting a sermon from Pastor John Gray that essentially told single women to stop acting in the “spirit of girlfriend”, the internet had a field day for what they felt like was the singer judging those that weren’t married.

Check out some of Black Twitter’s reaction.

Ciara telling women to “Level up” and live “like a wife” so they can b married is astounding to me. Didn’t you need grace, mercy & compassion when you were being dragged up and down the Internet for the Future situation? How quickly ppl forget when they reach a perch of privilege

I got married, not because I stopped 'walking in the spirit of the girlfriend' or changed my character to 'start carrying myself like a wife'
I just met a dude that I could really vibe with. Don't know why Ciara wants to make it more complex.

Ciara didn’t “level up” after future tho lol. She found a young square that she can control that’s all.

Hours later Ciara released a statement clarifying what she meant.
