In “Imitation sometimes isn’t a form of flattery” news, the big homey Ciara is back at it again, this time she’s responding to reports that she swagger jacked Beyonce.

Oh for real EbenGregory…I guess you couldn’t tell by that picture huh man?

No.

And now…here’s Ciara responding to the naysayers: For the ones that have something negative to say? They must have really enjoyed it that much to go and nitpick it, because it’s something they pulled up and was like, “Yo!” There were a couple of things in there that I’ve never seen. I think that it’s important for us as artists to be original and to create something new, so it would be really silly of me to go and create something you’ve already seen. So not one time were any of my references another artist. My references were clearly inspired from shows that I’ve actually seen. It goes to show how creative we can be and how close the worlds are. I did my first video with my metal outfit. I was inspired by Thierry Mugler. Now, from my understanding, Beyonce is using Thierry Mugler for her tour. It just is what it is. It’s very petty to me. When people nitpick something and they say negative things, my response to that is they really must have liked it that much. That’s also the definition of a person having too much time on their hands to do nothing. That’s how I look at that.

Oh okay. And now…

Another Swagger jack picture.

This is EbenGregory.com…telling you that imitation is at least 50 percent of the creative process.
