Ciara’s New “Ride” Music Video Banned from BET?

Tuesday, May 18th 2010 | Leave a Comment

Singer Ciara is notoriously known and loved by many for her seductive, sexy music videos. However, everyone isn’t finding the singer’s latest efforts worth applauding. According to statements made during a live Ustream video session by CiCi and her grandmother, TV network BET has banned her new “Ride” video.

And now Ciara’s fans have responded with a petition, which was posted on one of her fansites. Check it out below:

“We have been recently notified that Ciara’s new Music Video ‘Ride’ is not being showed on B.E.T because it’s too sexual. Note that they play Trey Songz ‘Invented Sex’ [where he is having sex with a woman in the video] and Trey Songz ‘Neighbors Know My Name’ [Having sex with DIFFERENT woman]. I think that B.E.T is over analyzing this, or is just being disrespectful to Ciara. MTV and VH1 is playing ‘Ride’ and so are other stations. What are you B.E.T going to do about this because as a fan and Representative of Ciara you are being UNFAIR!”

Aww that sucks… guess we’ll watch it online!

    The Ciara video is too sexual!!!
    Thank you B.E.T. for realizing that. What are we teaching our children/girls ?and yet we act surprised that they are so peocupied with having sex and being sexy. I love Ciara but that was over the top selling sex! what happened to talent? Ciara can really dance but what she did in that video
    should only be viewed at a strip joint!!!!!
    Ciara, ethier make better songs that we can jam to to give it up. Less is more. Maybe you should call Janet Jackson and see if she can give you some pointers on being a dancer/singer w/ class.
    And again I ask, what happened to the true entertainers???

    I believe that Ciara’s video is a little provacative at the same time the artist has to get money and have a life. I feel that just because B.E.T. has decided not to show her video nor play her song she will find else where to do so from. Other networks are showing it and she is prob just as satisfied. On the back hand, what is this video saying to the young ladies growing up? Its okay to be sexy, but over the top sexual? is just to much. i stil love yuu CiCi

    Double standard… they play rap videos with girls doing way more sexual thigns than Ciara. And when a girl artist like her gets up and shows something off they ban it… BULL

  • big boi tae

    Bet are some haters because last year they banned chris brown from the bet awards. CI CI’s video should be play because it is intertainment for black people , and you all haven’t notices on 106 & park they have been saying they were waiting to see wat new video ciara has to come. so thats some bull shit cause if the play all those other videos they mite as well stop playing all videos with sexienest in them therfore they should jus play little kid music or just plane rock.:)

  • brittany

    well i think people need to stop hating on ciara because she’s a talented female and do very creative things

  • Mia

    its way to provocative for any teen to be watching. Yeah she’s talented, but she has to remember she has little girls looking up to her. Is that the image she wants to portray?
