Future has lit up the rap world this past month, dropping the self-titled “FUTURE,” a certified banger and the more emotionally driven “HNDRXX.” Both albums reached the #1 spot on the Billboard US Top 200 chart and there’s no debate right now he’s at the top of his game.
Behind all this, his driving force may be the split with his former fiancé, singer Ciara. “HNDRXX” has strong undertones of his failed relationship although he never specifically refers to Ciara. It shows a different side to Future, helping attribute to the success.
Ciara on the other hand, now married to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, has just announced they’re expecting their first child. However it won’t be the first child they’ve been taking care of as Ciara won child custody to her and Future’s baby, virtually stealing Baby Future from the Atlanta-born rapper.
The former Super Bowl winning quarterback hasn’t been shy about posting photos with Ciara and Baby Future, calling them his family. These posts have been met with torment by Future fans, commenting “Where’s Future?” or using the rain emoji (a reference to Future’s mixtape “Purple Reign.”)
I understand where people are coming from, Future probably wouldn’t be the best father as he is traveling the world, making music, and partying and Wilson is a good Christian man but it is Future’s biological child and Ciara is not allowing him to see his son.
If Ciara and Wilson want the online abuse to stop, I suggest allowing Future to see his son. If not, the Seahawks shouldn’t expect a warm welcome against the Atlanta Falcons (who thrashed them in the playoffs) anytime soon.
