New York Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire and struggling singer Ciara attended the Candie’s Foundation 2011 event at Cipriani 42nd Street on May 3, 2011 in New York City. The couple looked great as they posed for pictures at the event helping to prevent teenage pregnancies. Their romance would explain why Ciara was spotted glowing at several Knicks game when her latest album Basic Instinct was bombing on the Billboard charts.
I think Ciara and Amer’e going public with their relationship will only help her star status and obviously make her more interesting for people who may have lost interest in her talents. Back when Ciara was R&B music’s new “it” girl, she was romantically linked to rapper Bow Wow. That relationship quickly ended back in 2006 and her career hasn’t quite been the same ever since. The recent low album sales have nothing to do with lack of promotion because Cici is one of the most photographed singers and is always seen at various events, running errands, and dancing her tail off at concert performances.
We’ll see how this relationship plays out in the public’s eye and if Ciara will capitalize off being linked with one of the hottest players in the NBA.
