You know what gets me about these men that call Russell square? They are the same men that say we women, especially black women, choose the wrong men.

Him, Fetty Wap and Nick Cannon are racing to see who can be the richest Pookie out here. So Ciara actually chooses the nice guy and they want to say she isn't happy, she's bored, she misses Future, Russell is square, etc etc. I don't get the logic, she did exactly what they say we should do and instead of them celebrating a win for the nice guy they want to try to bring him down! Make it make sense!! And I know there are men that have issues with Russell playing step daddy and saying that Ciara should have picked him first etc, but do they forget that Russell was married before to a chick that cheated on him with a team mate.

I just don’t understand how people can’t accept that people are entitled to change. You don’t have to keep making the same choices for the rest of your life. I mean, isn’t the point to learn and grow? I definitely wouldn’t date the same type of person I did in my 20s now that I’m in my late 30s. In fact, I look back and laugh at most of my dating experiences. I’m grateful for the lessons and the laughs but chile, never again.

[@nancykerrigan]

Well. Well. Well. That. Unit. Is. GORGE! Edit: I honestly wouldn't mind your take on other hot topics. Maybe on one of your Necessary podcasts but I get it if you don't wanna because there's always something going on.

I like it too 😚🥰

I haven’t finished but I find it so funny that men think a “type” of man you date initially is your “type” forever. Some men I dated because they were fun and had access to resources I didn’t have. But they were not the forever guys. Seems like these guys can’t accept that they can be as equally disposable to us, as they think we are to them. Lol.

[@VaunTV]

the reality of the russell vs future conversation is that ciara actively chose to stop trying to turn the bad boy into the good guy she wants and instead, gave a good guy a chance. russell is a square - especially russell in the beginning of their relationship. ciara and her team did a LOT of work on reengineering his image. which isn't new to her because she did the same with amare staudimire and future. i also don't think the men on the future side of things consider the fact that they might not know who ciara is as a person. her music and visuals have presented her as this sexy girl from around the way but if you read her interview or listen to her talk about who she wants to be in life its more conservative and "square," than most would expect. she's quite literally always wanted to be the powerful man's wife with a few kids and bible study on Sunday afternoons.

[@divatashi]

You post I click!!! ❤️

[@gbefa939]

Great video as usual. I wrote a whole rant about this but decided against it. I'm really trying to not be elitist, but a lot of these podcast folks don't have the knowledge or nuance/range to engage in these conversations. They simply are uneducated and talk more than they listen.

[@toolovely4836]

I love this hair. It looks natural.

[@ayeilak5]

It's giving "Daughters of the Dust" and "Beloved" I love the hair you go girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Russell is not square in my mind at all lol the idea that square means not cheating and not collecting a bag of baby mommas is wild to me

[@Miss-k9v]

Well damn if they like future so much they can leave whoever and go with future jeez i wonder what it’s like for r.w knowing he’s the obsession of so many

[@missye6597]

He absolutely has no idea because he's too busy being a provider and a protector. Meanwhile- these men and their podcast(s) are the real pandemic we are experiencing.

[@scorpioxrocky]

it's because they relate to him so much. A lot of men act like Future so obviously he's going to have a massive following...

[@AddBowIfGirl]

Mayasentia I genuinely believe that most Russle-hating males are speaking from a place of projecting their sexual attraction for Future onto all of womankind. And they’re so myopic and self-centered that they cannot see beyond their own immature and shallow and closeted sexual preference for Future types.

[@Miss-k9v]

@@scorpioxrocky it’s really sad bc like future gets away w this crap bc he is RICH these men are not and still wanna do the stuff he does and still wonder why they don’t have a “good woman”. Like you can’t provide and you’re acting like trash smh

[@qgurl062000ify]

My friends called my husband a square when we first met. He has been the most faithful, loving, supportive partner and friend I have had for 11 yrs and counting. Meanwhile the guys they chose have come and gone.....I also prayed for someone after being led on by a guy who had been sleep with me another female. I broke it off when he refused to make a choice. I was heart broken but ended it, that was the worse feeling in the world but I was not going to be used. Prayer works lol.

This is my favorite hairstyle and makeup look seriously 💜👏🏾👏🏾

[@aissatasy3090]

I do agree with you ! She looks stunning and amazingly beautiful !

[@CMac892]

The look is beautiful. You look so vibrant❤️

[@nawal10]

These men are delusional and jealous! A successful handsome married man to 1 of the most beautiful women is settling but being with a community d uneducated rapper who's cheaply spreading his seed in basic chicks is the prize?? Who's also unmarried. Wow

[@iv1908]

Any time a "grown" "allegedly cis" male speaks so PASSIONATELY about another cis male, it gives hella susssssss energies iyam 😏

[@purplelove3666]

Theres no such thing as a cis male. Either you are a male or you are not. Stop with the useless confusion

[@iv1908]

@Trinity M Being "gay" is def not an insult but it IS a problem when, again, allegedly "cis" males be out here "undercover." Be true to who you are so cis women who aim to date heterosexually have that option versus the alternative. So, really it's the "maturest" route. Thanks tho. 👍🏾

[@mardycv535]

I'm here for the Harlequin Romance reference!!!! And Chloe!! I too am living vicariously thru her.

[@carmay3600]

I think many men realize that they have not handled themselves to the same standard as Russell. They have not been disciplined with their sex. They have not been fully present in their childrens lives and they have not been willing to commit to the women they deal with. It all may even sound overwhelming and requiring of a lot of personal sacrifice because too many men still want to have their cake, your cake, someone else’s cake and some more cake. They can not and will not let go of their greed.

[@loosenuplivefully1089]

"Instead what we found were a bunch of futures"🤣🤣🤣 may God send lots of "square" potential partners my way I'm ready to start dating.

[@thegadflysnemesis4102]

Back when I thought I was heterosexual, the one thing I would say when someone asked me what my type was, was "a gentleman - and a gentle man." Even if one were to take the kindest possible view of the male-gaze masculine ideal, what good is an larger-than-life, exciting man whom you can't /trust/?

[@jessicaairhienbuwa2306]

Settling ≠ Lowering Your Standards

Thank you for talking about your hair because I’m the type of person who always wonders and wants new ideas. That’s what influence is - that’s what you do as a byproduct of your work. We are influenced by what we interact with.

[@kenickay]

You are amazing! Thank you for your feedback!

[@aliviablount]

You should make more content explaining purity culture and politics and how women should consider thinking about that in 2022. It’s an interesting subject to unpack because it’s major in the black community

[@passionatebliss4591]

Ciara didn’t settle. She grew up. Young girls think “Future’s” are appealing. Grown women will dump a Future for a Russel without hesitation. The man insisting she really wants Future actually wants Future himself. If they didn’t have a child together, she probably wouldn’t remember Future at all.

[@truthteller816]

Yes! Celine 🤣👌🏾 The hair & your mini rendition was spot on.

[@CornellG]

No, they don’t want to be the backup choice. That’s the problem. “Squares” are only sexy after pooky has knocked them up with a kid(s). How should squares feel about being good enough as step fathers after the fact only.

@@CornellG ⬆️ *Dusty* *alpha-butt* *detected*

[@chi_7001]

I still am confused how someone who is a good God fearing father, a top 5 NFL football player who takes care of his wife and children id a square. Dating is experimental, you don’t always find someone who is compatible off that bat…sometimes people have to experiment and then they learn from their past experiences. Majority of men who’re throughout their 20’s and sleep with anything because it is glorified to sleep with many women, some of those girls are considered hoes, but then when they want to settle down they out of nowhere become super aware of how many bodies a woman has and Change their rhetoric to wanting a “respectable wife” that’s not “ran through”.

Calling a super bowl winning quarterback a square is the most baffling thing I've heard in a while. Men like Russ built the civilizations that boys like Future get to play in 🤦🏽‍♂️

He has finished last though. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but he factually has finished last.
