‘You Can’t Tell Him Nothing’: Ciara Fans Crack Up at Baby Future’s Game-Day Swag

Excuse me, were you saying something? You can’t tell Future Zahir Wilburn, the son of R&B singer Ciara and rapper Future, nothing.

Ciara uploaded a video of her 5 year old before he headed to his Durham Bulls baseball game rocking sunglasses on Saturday, March 7.

In the video, Wilburn is walking toward his mother, striking several poses as Ciara is hyping Wilburn up, saying, “He ready.”

Stepdad and Seattle Seahawks NFL player Russell Wilson copied Ciara, saying, “He ready, ready.”

Wilburn was feeling himself because his mother captioned the video, “Y’all. I can’t take it. Too much Swag 🤣 #Baller.”

Fans in Ciara’s comment section thought Wilburn’s swagged-out poses were hilarious.

“You can’t tell him nothing 😂💀.”

“😂😂😂😂😂😂 If this ain’t YO CHILD 😂😂😂.”

“I can’t with this young man! He’s growing up so fast…. 😂🤣.”

“The walk had me😩😂😂😂.”

“I’m dying 😂😭.”

Those commenting also expressed their opinions on who Wilburn got his swag from, Papa Future or Wilson.

“That’s Future right there 😂😂.”

“He his Daddy Son 😂😂😂.”

“Well, I guess that’s why y’all named him Future.”

“He don’t even look like Future anymore 😭 Russ clearly his real daddy 🔥 🔥.”

“He looks just like his poppas Russ ❤️.”

“His Got Russell’s swag.”

The comment section was split 50/50 on who Wilburn got his swag from, but this isn’t the first time comparisons were made between the swagged-out style of Wilburn and Wilson.

On Jan.20, Ciara uploaded a photo of Wilburn and Wilson spending some quality time together at Walt Disney World.

“My Heart Can’t Take It. #ClassicMoments ❤️,” Ciara captioned the photo.

Wilburn and Wilson can be seen rocking sunglasses looking cool, calm, and collected while posing for the camera.

Fans fawned over the twinning picture of Wilburn and Wilson.

“Its it me, or do they actually look alike so adorbs.”

“I love this father-son photo. Twinning here.”

Ciara and her ex-fiancé Future welcomed their son in 2014, and she began dating Wilson in 2015 after they broke up.

Wilson later proposed to Ciara, and the pair tied the knot in 2016. The couple welcomed their 2-year-old daughter, Sienna Princess Wilson, the following year.

Wilson and Ciara are now expecting their second child together.

Still independent.

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.
