‘Imagine Disrespecting the Man That’s Raising Your Son’: Future Gets Clowned By Ciara Fans for ‘Sneak Dissing’ Her Husband Russell Wilson

Rapper Future is at it again, disrespecting the man helping to raise the son he shares with Ciara.

The two Atlanta natives began dating in 2012, got engaged in 2013, and ended their relationship months after welcoming their son, Future Zahir Wilburn, in 2014 due to numerous rumors of infidelity.

Over the years, the rapper has called out the mother of his 9-year-old son and her now-husband, Russell Wilson, in various interviews and songs over their ongoing custody battle.

Now, he’s back slamming Wilson on Quavo’s track “Shidd,” where he raps, “I got it out the field, f—k Russell.”

The “Body Party” singer and Wilson recently celebrated their seven-year wedding anniversary, though it’s unclear exactly what warranted this particular bashing. However, Ciara fans and other social media users are not here for any slander about the Denver Broncos quarterback.

“Imagine disrespecting the man that’s raising your son.”

“Not you sneak dissing the man who raising your child.”

“Russell is going to handle it with class and not even respond and take his son to Disney World.”

“He really mad cuz Ciara got away and his son call him dad.”

“Future, you gotta stop living in the past.”

Most fans believe Future is still “hurt” that Ciara moved on and found a man who loves and supports her son from a previous relationship. One individual joked that the self-proclaimed “Toxic King” deserved the same treatment as Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

They wrote, “I know it will never happen, but i wish Russell would Will Smith Future one time. But run fast because Future got guns.”

Regardless of how “hurt” fans say Future may be, Ciara and Wilson have been living their best lives unconcerned about his behavior. Many have applauded the NFL player for stepping up and playing a huge role as a stepfather in little Future’s life.

The married couple has since welcomed two more children, a daughter named Sienna and a son named Win. Meanwhile, Future has eight children with eight different women, four of whom were born after Ciara’s son.

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.
