It seems the prior reports stemmed from a 2019 Makers Conference interview last week, Ciara mentioned that she now owns her masters, talked about "freedom and flexibility" and stated that ownership has "always been important" to her.

"Being able to own my masters has been really cool," she said during the Q&A.

During the conference, Ciara announced that she's launched her own label, Beauty Marks Entertainment, posting a clip from the event on Instagram and captioning it “'BME'” is where Music intersects with Film, Fashion, Technology & Philanthropy."
