American pop singer Ciara Wilson turned heads as she arrived at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Monday. Ciara rocked braid extensions in her hair and an all black ensemble with black furry house slippers. She was all smiles as she headed to catch a flight.

The 32-year-old mother-of-two said Afrobeat star Tiwa Savage inspired her new single “Freak Me” after fans pointed out the similarities between Savage’s 2015 song, “Before Nko” featuring D’Prince. CiCi took to Twitter to praise Savage: “Shoutout to Tiwa Savage in the inspiration and sample used in #FreakMe!” she tweeted. “She’s a beast! I fell in love with the melody when I first heard it in Africa 3 years ago… So Good. @Afrowave”.
