Starting the new year off with a fresh attitude, Ciara is hoping to leave the drama filled blogs in 2013. In an open letter posted on her website, CiCi questions the need for negativity ever present in the blogosphere and social media.

In the letter entitled “What Is Social Media Coming To?,” the “Body Party” crooner notices the switch of creative content to slanderous and hurtful content present in blog posts, comments and social media platforms.

“I used to sometimes like visiting some of the blog sites to see what new things are happening in the world! Things like cool photos, current events, etc.,” she writes. “But nowadays it seems like there’s a competition with sites on “Who Can Tear Someone Down the Most.” The stories are going from cool and creative to pure drama. Even the comment sections are beginning to get out of control and people are using the platforms to exercise a false sense of power.”

CiCi goes on to even blast those on Instagram who use the comment section as an open field to shame others.

“People sure do have a lot of courage when they are anonymous. It’s like a “Who Can Say the Nastiest Comment Game.” I click onto some of the comments from something as fun as an Instagram post that you’re sharing with your fans, and a person finds a way to turn a positive post into a negative,” she says. “I think to myself, “I could pick this person apart so bad but what for? Why act ugly like them?” It honestly takes the fun out of it when people seem so miserable.”

In the end, Ciara is no longer catering to the blogs or nasty comments and will not be visiting anymore, “Now, Off Blogs. Peaceful Mind. Living In My Happiness. Creativity Only.”
