“But for me the love is always going to be the same. The support is always the same. When I went in the store I didn’t buy a copy, I bought the rack. That’s what I’ve always done, though. Since the very first album because the Ciara I met was not an artist. So I love her from a place far beyond the media or the mess. But I can tell you that none of the stuff is true. You can look at me and tell I’m not the friend that’s going to know something and not let you know. So all that stuff is untrue and it hurt a little bit when her fans were on my page saying you’re this, you’re that. Because I knew it had no truth. It hurt a little bit, but you get up and you get over it. I know everything I did and everything we shared. It’s not to say that it may never come to that again. So, I stand on the sideline. I pray and I push. You push the people you love, you lift them up, you don’t bring them down. That’s just how I roll. How anybody else feels I can’t tell you, but I can tell you everything you read is untrue.”
