American singer and performer Ciara has opened up about her recent trip to Lagos, Nigeria, describing the city as “insane” in a lighthearted chat with British supermodel Naomi Campbell at the CFDA Fashion Awards held in New York.
In a trending clip from the red carpet, Ciara and Naomi reminisced about the singer’s experience at Lagos Fashion Week 2025, where her appearance drew massive attention and excitement from fans and designers alike.
“Nigeria is insane,” Ciara exclaimed with a smile.
Naomi, known for her strong ties to Africa’s fashion scene, quickly asked, “Did you eat the food?”
“Yes, jollof rice,” Ciara replied, prompting laughter from Naomi, who then asked if she had tried Mafé (a Senegalese peanut sauce).
Ciara responded, “No, when I go back, I will do that.”
Encouraging her to return soon, Naomi said,
“You should go in December. That’s when you got to perform. It’s so good.”
Ciara eagerly agreed, saying, “Yes, I will go.”
