Future just dropped a new album, The WIZRD, but a lot of the Internet chatter surrounding the Atlanta rapper is regarding his personal life. That was because he said when it comes to his baby mama Ciara, and Russell Wilson’s now wife, the NFL QB “do exactly what she tell him to do.”
Now it seems that the Seattle Seahawks star took the high road and clapped back at the same damn time.
Yesterday (Jan. 19), Wilson posted a photo Sienna, his daughter with Ciara, and Future Jr., his stepson and Future’s biological son, rubbing noses on the floor. The adorable pic was captioned, “All that matters. #Love.”
Safe bet Future, who is in a custody battle with Ciara, wasn’t too happy when he saw that.
So far nothing from Ciara, and don’t expect anything since she’s been letting the lawyers handle all the mess.
Yesterday (January 18), rapper Future released his seventh studio album, Future Hndrxx Presents: The WIZRD. Recently, the maturation of Future’s music has been at the forefront of many conversations in the Rap music space, especially on The Joe Budden Podcast. However, at the same time, the Dungeon Family product appears to be taking strides with the mic, his personal growth is getting called into question.
In a recent interview with Genius‘ Rob Markman, the multi-platinum Epic Records star addressed his drug use. Specifically, the 35-year-old reveals that he no longer drinks lean, a nickname for the recreational drug mixture of codeine and promethazine. “What drives me is living every word [in my verses], and being that same way. Just being this person, being that Rock star. And it’s hard because I’d be like, damn, I don’t wanna stop it, and have a fan stop loving me,” said the artist who released two volumes of Dirty Sprite in the mid-2010s, as well as WRLD On Drugs with Juice Wrld last year. Despite reportedly quitting lean, Future’s high-profile lyrics maintained the persona of an artist with two cups in his hand. Only now is he coming clean to the public. “I didn’t wanna tell nobody I stopped drinking lean because I felt then they’re gonna be like, ‘Oh, his music changed ’cause he ain’t drinking lean no more. Oh, I can hear it when he changed’…But it just be hard when your fan [are] so used to you being a certain kinda way, a certain persona. You be afraid to change.”
Joe Budden is an artist who has been public about his addictions and subsequent sobriety. On the subject of Future, the retired MC is not buying it. Today (January 19), The Joe Budden Podcast released its episode, “Nadaviusss?” The title is a play on Future’s given name, Nayvadius Wilburn. The podcast team also including Rory, Mal, and Parks spends a large portion of the episode discussing Future’s new release, his current place in Rap music, and his relationship with Epic in the wake of label-mate Travis Scott’s success.
“I was staying quiet while [my co-hosts] were talking about the maturation of Future. Then y’all ended [the statement] with ‘musically.’ That may be true. But in real life, we ain’t seeing no maturation from Future!” Joe says around the 73:00. The conversation moves into a series of recent comments from Future on his son’s mother (and ex-girlfriend), Ciara as well as former mentor and employer, Rocko. Ahead of 80:00, Budden then refers to Future’s interview with Rolling Stone journalist Charles Holmes. In that conversation, Future publicly reacted to one of his collaborators, 20-year-old Chicago, Illinois’ Juice WRLD telling him that him had inspired him to try lean. “When [Juice WRLD] told me that, I was like ‘Oh sh*t. What the f*ck have I done?’ It really bothered me. It bothered me a lot—more than that I thought it would bother me when he told me that. I didn’t think I’d care about that stuff. Four years ago, I probably wouldn’t have cared if he told me: ‘Oh, that was good you was drinking.’ Now it’s like, ‘Oh sh*t.’ How many other sixth-graders did I influence to drink lean?””
Budden condemns this comment from Future, especially in the wake of admitting that he withheld the fact that he no longer uses the deadly drug to his fans. “The way that my brain interprets the man that inspires an entire generation to do something, and then isn’t man enough to tell that same generation that he no longer does it…,” Joe begins, after reading Future’s quote. “The way that I interpret that kind of man; that’s not a man.” Joe then adds that this is part of the reason he declined to have Future as a guest on his show. While The Joe Budden Podcast has recently featured high-profile interviews with Pusha-T and Chance The Rapper, the host has publicly stated on the previous two episodes that he declined an appearance offer from Future’s team. “Why would I want to interview Future? I don’t respect you as a man. Ni**a! I just like your tunes. It’s a lot of that going on! A lot of you ni**as make great tunes, and y’all are trash humans. I ain’t gotta sit and talk to you. Now all of a sudden Future don’t f*ck with Joe Budden and my [fiancée, Cyn Santana] is bad, because Future wanted to do an interview with The Joe Budden Podcast, and Joe Budden didn’t want to do it.”
Further in the newly-published Rolling Stone interview, Future declined the responsibility for inspiring Juice WRLD to try lean. “Do I be mad about me being honest about me and being honest on what’s going on in the world and creating from it? And I thought about it. I can’t apologize for something that…I can’t apologize for being myself, but I do apologize if being myself caused you to act out of character,” the rapper said. Juice WRLD had told Vulture last year that Future “kinda apologized” after he told him about his influence. Juice also revealed that he too, now lives a more sober lifestyle. The two artists’ 2018 album was notably called WRLD On Drugs.

Fresh Friday. It’s a day to feel the freshness SOHH why not get things going with A$AP Rocky being blown away by Janelle Monae? Speaking of opposite sexes, did Future do the most by shading ex-fiancée Ciara‘s hubby Russell Wilson? Getting a little political, is Donald Trump going to catch the biggest L of his presidency over rumors about having his lawyer lie to Congress? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
1. Keep It 100
Is the music industry sleeping on Janelle Monae’s beauty? Turns out she has A$AP Rocky feeling like he wants to clone her or at least find a woman with both her beauty and brains. Ebro Darden has the footage:
Is A$AP Rocky speaking facts? Do you agree with him? Should we pay more attention to Monae? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Shady
Should Future just stay mum when it comes to his ex? Turns out he had a little bit of shade to throw at Ciara and her hubby Russell Wilson. Apple Music has the exclusive comments:
“He do exactly what she tell him to do. I feel like, I don’t have no feeling toward him. He not being a man in that position. He not being a man at that point. He not tellin’ her, ‘Chill out with that on the internet. Don’t even talk to him. I’m your husband! You better not even bring Future’s name up!’ If that was me, she couldn’t even bring his name up. She know that. She couldn’t even bring her exes’ names up. I don’t care what they gave you, don’t say nothing. Don’t give that sh*t no energy.” (Apple Music)
Is Future keeping it 100? Should he have kept silent on this? Do you agree with him? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. Final Days
Is Donald Trump’s days as president numbered? Sounds like the same story comes up every few months but now things are really intense with reports claiming he allegedly told his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie about the Moscow Tower project to Congress. BuzzFeed is on it:
Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen. And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project. (BuzzFeed)
Could this bury Trump? Is this going to blow up? Are you keeping tabs? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the scoop from your fave gossip sites.
It’s not even two weeks into 2019 and Missy Elliott is already leading the charge of women breaking barriers in Hip-Hop as this weekend, she received the honor of being the first female Hip-Hop artist to be inducted into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame. Joining Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri, Elliott is one of the few rappers to receive an induction into the legendary hall of fame.
According to Songwriters Hall of Fame Chairman Nile Rodgers, “I’m very proud that in my first year as Chairman of the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame that we are recognizing some of the culturally most important songwriters of all time. The 2019 slate of inductees represents diversity and unity across genres and gender, highlighting our dedicated mission to honor music creators who have enriched our lives. These are writers who in their time literally transformed music and helped make what’s happening today possible.”
To qualify for induction into the hall of fame, a songwriter must be a published writer for a minimum of 20 years with a notable catalog of hit songs. Missy Elliott, who has been active in the industry since 1997, has attained “unprecedented success, including U.S. sales in excess of 30 million. Missy’s six studio albums have each been RIAA platinum certified or better, marking her as the only female rapper to achieve that remarkable accomplishment” according to a statement from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Additionally, the induction committee made note of not just her solo success, but also of her numerous collaborations with other legendary artists such as Beyonce, Ciara, and many more as well as her stunning Super Bowl halftime performance in 2015. The committee also praised her work with former First Lady Michelle Obama for her role in the creation of “This Is For My Girls,” an all-star anthem to female empowerment as part of Obama’s Let Girls Learn initiative.
The Hall of Fame’s 50th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner will take place on June 13 in New York City.
NFL superstar Russell Wilson is nice with the camera work. The former Super Bowl champion’s wife Ciara blessed social media this weekend with a slideshow of bikini pics shot by her soulmate.
Missy’s career includes writing, production, and development for a plethora of Hip-Hop and R&B acts dating back more than 25 years. Elliott has six solo albums, all certified gold or better. She worked extensively on albums by Aaliyah, 702, Monica, and Tweet, among others. She is a five-time Grammy Award-winner (out of 22 nominations), including “Best Rap Solo Performance” for 2002’s “Get Ur Freak On.”
The 47-year-old Elliott’s journey of tenacity and perseverance began in Portsmouth, Virginia. The rapper, producer, and singer had a difficult childhood, involving accounts of physical abuse from her father and reports of molestation from a cousin when she was eight. The family also lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina for a period, when Elliott’s father, a shipyard welder, moved there for work.
Music would become a driving force in Elliott’s life by her teens. She co-formed R&B group Fayze. Timbaland, who was from the same area, produced the group. In 1991, Jodeci member Devante Sway heard some of the group’s material and signed them to his Swing Mob/Elektra Records imprint. In 1993, a backed Sista (a re-brand under Devante’s suggestion) released “Brand New.”
Living together in New York City, Swing Mob became a unit, also including Tim’, Magoo, and later, Ginuine, Tweet, and Playa. In the early ’90s, Elliott began offering her writing to others, including Cosby Show actress Raven Symone (see: “That’s What Little Girls Are Made Of”), as well as extensive work with Jodeci on the group’s second and third albums. In late 1994, Swing Mob released Sista’s 4 All The Sistas Around Da World. It contained Timbaland and Devante production (as well as Mr. Dalvin), with appearances by Mary J. Blige and K-Ci. After the group’s lone LP.
As Swing Mob disbanded from the label, Missy would continue production, writing, and development. She and Tim’ partnered and worked acts. None would be bigger than Aaliyah, whose One In A Million album featured extensive production, songwriting, and some raps from Missy. The 1996 double-platinum effort gave way for Elliott’s solo career. One year later, back on EastWest/Elektra, she would release Supa Dupa Fly. At a time when many female Rap artists led with sexual imagery and song themes, Elliott’s approach focused on inventive deliveries, universal subject matters, and a universe of jaw-dropping music videos.
The album debuted at #3, with more than 125,000 units, a first for a female solo MC at that time. Elliott joined JAY-Z on tour and persisted with a series of feature spots on albums.
Although the 1990s introduced Elliott to the masses, she reached her greatest strides between 2000 and 2005. 2001’s Miss E…So Addictive, 2002’s Under Construction, and 2005’s The Cookbook were each Top 3 on the charts. Under Construction contained two Top 10 singles, “Gossip Folks” with Ludacris and “Work It.” At a time when tough-talking Rap music was in vogue, Missy kept the party moving, and connected the genre to its origins, through sampling homages, fashion, and dance.
On her most recent album, 2005’s The Cookbook, Elliott again flashed Rap music back to an oft-overlooked part of its origins. “Lose Control” paid respects to Cybotron and Hot Streak, while reinvigorating club DJ records of the early 1990s, thanks to Fatman Scoop. It became Elliott’s first multi-platinum single.
Outside of her own catalog, Missy has appeared on hits ranging from MC Lyte and Lil’ Kim records to pupils including Ciara and her Gold Mind Records artist, Tweet.
In the last 14 years, Elliott has remained comparatively quiet. She has released a handful of promotional singles, always hinting at a seventh album. 2015’s “WTF (Where They From)” with Pharrell and 2017’s “I’m Better,” featuring Lamb, each made the charts. So did Missy’s two Step Up 2: The Streets songs more than a decade ago.
One year ago to the month, while receiving an award presented by Janet Jackson, Elliott told the public about her private battle with autoimmune illness Graves’ Disease. “I was sick and I couldn’t even lift a pen,” Missy told the audience during her acceptance speech, referring to her diagnosis of Graves’ Disease, an autoimmune disease. “My nervous system had broken all the way down. I didn’t come up in here in a wheelchair. Nobody helped me get up here. I’m walking…by the grace of God.” According to ABC News, Elliott confirmed the diagnosis to media and fans in 2011, but has been very quiet publicly about her health. She had been feeling effects since 2008. “I was on medication for a short while but have been off it for quite some time now,” she said then in a press release, “I manage the condition through diet and exercise.”
Elliott joins an induction class that includes Cat Stevens (nka Yusuf), Tom T. Hall, John Prine, and Jack Tempchin. Dallas Austin, a songwriter/producer recognized for his work with TLC, P!nk, Gwen Stefanie, and Boyz II Men, will also be inducted. Austin founded Rowdy Records, a label that also featured Rap artists including Illegal and Y’all So Stupid. Outside of those acts, he has produced for Erick Sermon and Poison Clan’s JT Money.
The induction ceremony will take place June 13 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.

Ciara and Future are still not getting along when it comes to their 4-year-old son, Future Zahir. Surprise, surprise.
Fresh off of celebrating her husband’s 30th birthday, CiCi is entering a new court battle with her baby father. According to TMZ, the singer’s legal team is requesting that the courts force Future to enter mediation so they can figure out a new travel itinerary for their kid.
TMZ reports, “If the judge won’t force Daddy Future into mediation, Ciara wants a trial to settle the matter. As we reported … Ciara claims Future’s been terrible at keeping his daddy appointments — allegedly breaking scheduled visits fairly often — and tends to hand the kid off to the rapper’s mother or grandmother without spending much time with him.”
“Ciara also said the constant back-and-forth was weighing on their son, and it was important they figure a better schedule for the kid’s sake. Her camp says they’ve been trying to figure this out without a judge stepping in, but to no avail.” the site reports.
Check out a more recent photo of little Future below…he’s the spitting image of his dad.
R&B singer Ciara and Future are “this” close to having to face-off in front of a judge. New reports claim CiCi is putting legal pressure on her ex-fiancé to handle a dispute involving their son.
According to reports, Ciara’s legal team has asked a court to force Future to enter mediation in an effort to create a new travel itinerary for their four-year Future Jr.
If the judge won’t force Daddy Future into mediation, Ciara wants a trial to settle the matter. As we reported … Ciara claims Future’s been terrible at keeping his daddy appointments — allegedly breaking scheduled visits fairly often — and tends to hand the kid off to the rapper’s mother or grandmother without spending much time with him. Ciara also said the constant back-and-forth was weighing on their son, and it was important they figure a better schedule for the kid’s sake. (TMZ)
“I was one step away from being married, and I feel like I failed publicly in relationships. Then you want to go back to doing music, to what you know. And if the people didn’t accept you again, the one thing you feel like you can fall back on, it walked away from you. You feel like it’s over,” Future said. “I’m attached to you [, Ciara]. If you’re happy, I’m happy. You’re connected for life. I don’t want you to go through this sh*t and for it to come back on my son, my kid. I want you to be in the best situation.” (Rolling Stone)
As TMZ reported — Ciara sued Future for $15 million back in February for calling her a bad mom. Future countersued but he’s just had a change of heart, asking the judge to dismiss his case against her. Sources close to the rapper tell us he wants to calm the waters after scoring joint custody of baby Future. (TMZ)
Sources connected to the former couple say Ciara showed up in court asking for sole custody of their 1-year-old son, baby Future. She claimed Future was a bad parent who was not present in the child’s life. We’re told she and her lawyer also trash talked Future to the judge, saying he was a bad person. For his part, Future showed up and asked for joint custody, and the judge was squarely on his side, rejecting her arguments. (TMZ)
