Singer Lloyd has left Murder Inc recently, and now he has the nerve to talk about my girl Ciara. According to his recent interview in Hip Hop Weekly, he and Ciara were high school friends but are no longer in contact because he feels she has changed:

“I don’t f**k with Hollywood b**ches and she’s like one of the chicks that’s just changed along the way with the fame and the money and all of that. I don’t really get down with her anymore on some real s**t. The truth hurts, but it will set you free. But I wish her all the best.”

I have to say that Llyod has lost his ever-loving mind coming at my girl lol. How about you get your money and career up, you can't hang with people who bring you down...only people on your level or higher so they can motivate you to do better. Cici has always helped this fool by bringing him on tour with her, cameo in his video, and whatever else. Sounds like he's just bitter that he's in a career shamble. Anyway, in other Ciara news...she is currently working hard with her new album; details below!

Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and his songwriting partner The-Dream have been secretly spending the summer in the studio producing the entire follow-up to Ciara’s Fantasy Ride. Stewart broke the news to Rap-Up.com in an exclusive interview.

“We’re doing the whole project,” he reveals. “We’re pretty good into it at this point. We’re about 14 songs deep right now.”The 23-year-old ATLien relocated to the West Coast to work on the album with Tricky and Dream, who crafted “High Price” and “Like a Surgeon” off this year’s Fantasy Ride. “She came out to L.A. to work with us. We’re out here making this record ’cause it feels good and the vibe is good,” says the Grammy-winning producer. The as-yet-untitled effort will feature danceable tracks that have become Ciara’s signature.

“This record obviously is gonna have tempo to it, but I think it’s gonna have even more substance than the last record,” Tricky discloses. “She dances and we always want to bring out what she does that other people don’t.”Although Fantasy Ride boasted collaborations with a who’s who of the industry including Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, and Ludacris, the “Love Sex Magic” singer will be riding solo this time.

“This album we wanted to take a few steps back and make it more about her, so the only feature is Dream. But the features that we do on this record will be remixes.”The hitmaker even shared a couple song titles with Rap-Up.com. “I love ‘Speechless.’ I love this record called ‘Gifted.’ Those are two of my favorites. ‘Speechless’ is the record with her and Dream together.”

While there’s still the possibility of a release by the end of the year, it’s looking like 2010 will mark Super C’s return. “It’s a little up in the air, but there’s a chance that it might come this year. That was the goal, but at the same time, we didn’t want to rush anything. I think it’s looking more like a next year thing.” Ciara is pulling out all the stops to make this her best work yet.

“Right now, she’s on her grind, coming back, trying to make a better album than she made last time and get back to that mark where everybody knew that she was in the top tier of the female business.”

I can't wait to see and hear the new music CiCi will have, even though her last album Fantasy Ride didn't do good in the U.S it did extremely well overseas and garnered her a Platinum album even though she is expected to sell well over that. When you think of top black females in the music business you think of Alicia Keys, Beyonce & Ciara. She's not going anywhere and I can't wait.
