The-Dream Explains Ciara Snub

The-Dream revealed a little while ago that he wasn't working with pop/R&B star Ciara in the near future. Some interpreted that declaration to be evidence of bad blood between the two, who formerly collaborated on her hit song "Promise."

But, according to The-Dream, the rift is purely contractual.

“I have a contract under Def Jam so it’s only certain people I work with," The-Dream told Tim Westwood. "[The executives] were real smart by putting that in there, I made them pay for it.”
