New York, NY - Ciara is setting the record straight about her husband, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, and the “corny” label that some have tried to stick to him.In a recent interview on “the Breakfast Club,” the Grammy-winning singer addressed the criticism head-on,choosing to focus on the love and respect she and Wilson share.
