Ciara on "Goodies" to 'CiCi' journey, story behind "Level Up" & Kim Kardashian

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by one of the queens of R&B and pop music, Ciara. They ask the Grammy Award-winning icon about her perspective on life and the industry as she hits the 40-year-old milestone, what went into her decision to go independent with her 2019 album 'Beauty Marks,' her most recent album 'CiCi' that dropped in August, executive producing the film 'Sarah's Oil' with her husband Russell Wilson of the New York Giants, her friendships with Kim Kardashian and La La Anthony, how Michael and Janet Jackson influenced her as a dancer, and who would win in a dance-off between herself, Chris Brown, Usher, Normani, and Teyana Taylor. Joe and Jada also talk to the "1, 2 Step" singer about discovering Frank Ocean and Justin Bieber early in their careers, Hailey Bieber's influence in Los Angeles, and how hip hop has been co-opted by every other music genre.
