Ciara Advises Normani Not To Be Next ‘Bachelorette’ Since She’s Dating DK Metcalf

In this day and age, where the internet likes to pit women against each other because of the comparison culture in music, a prank call showing a sweet friendship between two women in music is a refreshing sight to see. Fifth Harmony alum Normani’s, 27, sisterly bond with R&B superstar Ciara, 38, was apparent when the Wild Side crooner included the Goodies singer on her prank call list for Elle magazine’s Phoning It In YouTube segment.

Although Elle provided the prank call prompts titled “challenges,” Normani had the privilege of choosing who to prank call. When she was challenged to call and tell someone that she had been cast for the dating show The Bachelorette and to ask who she called for “advice,” the Motivation songstress picked Ciara.

Normani admitted that though she was going to call Ciara, she wasn’t sure if the mom of four would “be happy about” the call. Being that the Grammy-winner set Normani up with her new beau, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, 26, whom she also pranked earlier in the video.

“I know this is really random, but I got an offer to be the next Bachelorette,” Normani told Ciara over speaker phone, eliciting a “what the heck from her.”

Ciara exclaimed, “Oh, my lordy,” as Normani revealed that she was strongly considering the pretend Bachelorette offer. The Mama I Want to Sing actress quickly went into big sister mode, asking the former Dancing With The Stars contestant questions about “what was going” on and “why she was considering” doing the show.

“It just feels like the right moment,” Normani said, which made Ciara ask her about what was happening with her and her pro-athlete beau, who she’s been dating since 2021.

“I think you understand, it’s not like we’re[Normani and Metcalf] super, super public anyway,” Normani replied.

Of course, since Normani is with Metcalf, Ciara advised against it since Normani and Metcalf aren’t dunzo.

“I wouldn’t do it,” Ciara said directly. “Certain things can happen, like a kissing moment or [something else] you know?”

Near the end of the call, Normani revealed to Ciara that it was prank and none of what she said was true.

“What the hell? You scared the live out of me,” Ciara said in a motherly tone.

The prank call produced hilarious results once Normani revealed that it was a prank. It also gave fans insight into Ciara as a friend. Fans took to the social media platform X, fka Twitter, to share their thoughts on the sweet interaction between Ciara and Normani.

“This moment between @Normani & @ciara truly makes my day like none other!” an internet commenter gushing over the women’s friendship typed on X.

“CiCi a real homie for that lol she did everything but say Normani, baby, nooooo lmao she always sounded like a southern mother but she REALLY sounds like one now ‘oh Lordy’ had my girl & baby stressed out,” another fan commented on Ciara’s reaction.

Some fans even commended Ciara for helping Normani understand that it would be inappropriate for her to be the next Bachelorette while she’s still involved with Metcalf.

“This prank Normani did on Ciara is SO HILARIOUS but SOO showing the real Ciara!! OMG CiCi gonna guide you right! Love this!” shared another on the social media platform.

Ciara is a woman whom Normani has admired for years as a role model, finding inspiration for her own artistry through the 1-2 Step songbird. Ciara’s advice to Normani shows the importance of women having supportive women in their corner. It’s no surprise that Ciara has settled into her role as the proverbial “big sister,” using her experience to offer her thoughts on the situation, even if it turned out to be a prank.
