Victoria Monét surprised Ciara with an emotional on-air tribute during a recent “Level Up Radio” conversation and fans are calling it a long-overdue moment of recognition for Ciara. Midway through the sit-down, Monét told the veteran singer, “I want to give you your flowers. I do not feel like the world is giving them to you enough. We've given you flowers, but you need more flowers. More flowers.” 

Monét praised Ciara’s career arc and role as a mother, saying she’s watched Ciara evolve “from the Ace hat all the way to the motherhood hat to the wife hat to the God-fearing woman hat,” and called the singer’s journey “so beautiful.” Ciara responded with gratitude and a few tears, telling Monét, “That was really sweet. I really appreciate that so much.”

Monét’s praise quickly made its social media rounds and the clip also sparked chatter about a possible collaboration between the two bop stars. HelloBeautiful reported a wider conversation the interview opened up about motherhood, body image, and career balance — themes both women have explored wholeheartedly and publicly. 

Beyond the flowers, Monét and Ciara’s conversation gave a glimpse at how impactful peer recognition and love can be. There’s something so special about a newer-generation artist literally giving flowers to a star who helped shape R&B and pop for two decades. 

With both artists teasing new music and their shared respect on full display, many fans felt as if they were witnessing not quite a torch passing, but a torch-sharing moment between the two.

One fan said, “She’s a legend man. And Victoria had [a thank] you God moment. Seeing her, watching her at 15 to sitting in a room with her? That’s what that was.” Another said, “This is so beautiful and TRUTH; Ciara been that girl. Shes so amazing, thank you Victoria (all queens in my book).”
