Ciara Reportedly Sues Future For $15 Million
The slander and libel suit was filed today.
In interviews last year surrounding the release of his DS2 album, Future went out of his way a few times to say pointed things about his ex-fiancé and her new relationship with Russell Wilson. "Of course I wouldn’t want somebody [else] pushing my son," he told The Breakfast Club. "That's the number one rule. If I was a kid, and my mama had a dude pushing me, I would've jumped out the stroller and slapped the shit out of him. You never do that in our community. You don’t ever bring a man around your son. How you know this dude for a few months and you bring him around your kid? Who does that? Nobody does that."
In the same interview, he also noted, "I’m not for the publicity stunts. Leave my son out of all the publicity stunts. Leave him out of your relationship... I can take care of him on my own. Without any help."
He sounded angrier in a string of January tweets. "This bitch got control problems," he wrote. "I gotta go through lawyers to see babyfuture...the fuckery for 15k a month... I been silent for a year & a half..I ran outta patience."
According to TMZ, Ciara is "suing for slander and libel, wants all his nasty tweets deleted, and wants him blocked from saying anything about private family matters regarding baby Future." She reportedly suggests that he's using their personal difficulties to publicize his music, and notes that Future has visited his son at least 19 times since December 2014.
