After last week’s rumors around Ciara’s alledged reluctancy to perform for the kids Atlanta Black Pride weekend, the official T is in and Ciara wants the kids to know that she’s IN for the kids and will be performing Atlanta Black Pride Weekend.

The Grammy award winner will be  performing back to back events on Sunday, September 5th in Atlanta, one show for the boys at Club Europe for The Lions Den Atlanta annual “Main Event”, a signature event that has become a staple during Atlanta Black Pride for the past eight years, and one show for the ladies at Mansion Elan aka Atlanta Live for Traxx Girls.

Last week it was rumored that Ciara had backed out of Atlanta Black Pride due to the reluctancy in performing for the lesbians citing her picture next to Amber Rose on Traxx/Traxx Girls pride website and while no official word had came why Ciara picture was taken off of the website, an email from The Lions Den promotional group cleared up things yesterday,

There have been some questions and rumors regarding Ciara’s attendance at Atlanta Black Gay Pride.  Well just to clear up the rumors, Ciara is confirmed to be the Special Guest Artist For The Lion’s Den on Sunday, September 5, 2010, for the Return of Club Europe.  She will also be the Special Guest Artist for Traxx Girls on Sunday, September 5, 2010, at the Mansion aka Atlanta Live.

This is Ciara’s first appearance at a Black Gay Pride Celebration and she is extremely excited about being a part of Atlanta’s Black Gay Pride as Atlanta, GA is her home town.  We are certainly excited to have the opportunity to work with her and make this first experience a very special one for both her and the LGBT Community.  So don’t get it twisted, CiCi lives for the kids.

So there you have it. The kids can “Ride the Beat” with Ciara come Atlanta Black Pride weekend.
