Ciara has insisted she’s just as big as superstars such as Beyonce and Jay Z, and instead believes her biggest competition when it comes to music is herself.
The ‘Love Sex Magic’ hitmaker said: ‘Everything’s about timing. I’ve had records just as big as those artists, I’ve had No. 1 songs around the world. My biggest competition is me.
‘I faced those challenges. I don’t see myself beneath Beyoncé and Jay Z; I don’t see myself above them. I’m in my own world, hungry to grow.’
The 29-year old star originally topped charts around the world with her debut single ‘Goodies’ a decade ago and with the release of her sixth album, Jackie earlier this month, she believes she will continue to become even more well known.
She told The Guardian newspaper: ‘There’s no doubt in my mind how high up this train can go.’
However, after 10 years in the music industry, and having recently given birth to her son, Future Jr, Ciara confessed she is unsure how much longer she will be making music because she has dreams of becoming a businesswoman.

It's been 25 years since Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait

A quarter century ago, after Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army successfully invaded and took over the tiny Persian Gulf nation of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors. The Gulf War begat the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which begat the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which begat ISIS, which begat a potential future war with Iran or Syria or even what remains of Iraq. At the time, however, Bush said standing up to Hussein's Iraq was necessary to protect neighboring Saudi Arabia, a key US ally and the world's largest oil producing country, both then and now.
