Folks Accuse Future of ‘Settling’ for New Girlfriend Brittni Mealy After Ciara Moves On

Future Bought Brittni Mealy Two Diamond Rings

Instagram

A swanky dinner, diamonds, a yacht and a private jet. It’s not a bad way to ring in your birthday. Just ask Brittni Mealy, the mother of Future’s son Prince.

Last week, Future took to Instagram and told all of his followers that Mealy is the love of his life, and for her birthday he really dolled out the dollars.

Among some of the gifts he bought her, were a diamond necklace and a watch, but what seemed to grab most people’s attention were the two diamond rings that Brittni received. Some people believed those rings meant that Future popped the question.

But instead of congratulating Brittni , many threw shade and didn’t wish her well at all.

“Money does not buy happiness, and diamonds won’t make him stay faithful,” one person wrote.

“He’s only settling for you because he couldn’t get Ciara back,” wrote another. “We all know what type of woman he really wanted.”

Meanwhile, Ciara seems happy being married to NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, who she jumped the broom with in 2016. Although according to some, like Slim Thug, she still wants to be with Future.

“Do a woman who used to talk to Future really want a Russell Wilson?” he asked during a recent interview. “I don’t believe it. I think it’s all for financial stability. I don’t think that — after you like the dude who cool … Homeboy just [the opposite].”

Ciara then responded and said she wanted to date somebody different than the guys she’s been with in the past, but she didn’t mention Slim’s comment specifically. 

Future, for his part, hasn’t said anything about being engaged, nor has Brittni so we really don’t know if the rings were for a proposal or just some pricey gifts.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
