‘This Why Future Mad:’ Fans Applaud Ciara and Russell Wilson Moonwalking Past Future’s Gibes

Last week Future opened up about his ex Ciara and her football-playing hubby Russell Wilson during an interview, and he admitted to being annoyed that Wilson posted photos of his son without talking to him first. The rapper also said Ciara controls the NFL star, and he does whatever she says.

Future really heard it from the singer’s fans after that, and some accused him of being jealous of Ci-Ci’s union. Now fans have pointed to a particular clip that Ciara posted on Tuesday, Jan. 22, that shows her and Wilson moonwalking to Cardi B‘s “Bartier Cardi.” The theory is the dancing represents Ciara and Russ’ fun, happy life, which has Future hot.

People are accusing Future of being mad at Ciara and Russell Wilson after the couple posts a video of them moonwalking.

The superstar couple recorded the brief video on an airport runway as they were about to board a private plane to the NFL Pro Bowl in Orlando, Fla.

“Moonwalking with Bae. The best times. #ProBowl Here We Come. @dangerusswilson,” wrote Ciara. 

The comments about Future being upset by the clip came immediately after it was shared.

“This is why Future mad,” one person wrote.

And one person felt the video was the couple’s way of responding to the rapper’s dig at them last week, and she applauded them for not retaliating in any way.

“This is how you respond to a bitter [ex]. No response, just living your best life. Continued prayers and happiness,” someone wrote.

In the wake of the flap over his criticism of Wilson, the “Hndrxx” rapper addressed it again on Wednesday, Jan. 23, on his Freebandz Radio program.

“We don’t have no problems,” Future said. “It’s a social media problem. No, I don’t hate him. Totally not the deal. It was just the way we were carrying it, as far as being handled with baby Future. I don’t have nothing against [Wilson], and I’m happy for them.”

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.
