Ciara announced on Wednesday night that she had teamed up with controversial R&B star Chris Brown for her new single, ‘How We Roll’, which official drops on Friday.
Ciara made the announcement with a video from behind the scenes at the shoot for the single artwork.
The video shows Brown resting his head on Ciara’s shoulder as the song plays in the background.
“CiCi X Breezy. How We Roll 8/4. Pre Save vydia.lnk.to/HowWeRoll!!😏🫶🏽,” she shared. Brown also shared the video on his Instagram page.
‘How We Roll’ was co-produced by South African-based Zimbabwean producer Mr Kamera. “I’m celebrating the news,” Mr Kamera wrote on Instagram. “When it’s God’s time”.
Social media has been divided about the new collaboration given Brown’s history of abuse towards women:
@ambular_93 questioned the choice: “Every time an artist(especially female) collab with this man, I wonder how they’re going to explain it to their children. How do you explain to them that you don’t care about his long rap sheet or his victims because he can dance and carry a tune?”
