Ciara Says She Tried to Get Russell Wilson and Future to Talk

Singer Ciara Harris called out former fiancee Future Wednesday for the rapper’s criticism of her relationship with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. The pair have been dating for about six months and, as Billboard reported, she and her NFL superstar boyfriend have chosen to stay celibate.

Ciara said she realizes people are going to discuss her personal life due to her celebrity, but she also feels frustrated by the way people react to things.

“> CBS, the singer dished about the backlash she received after Future slammed her for letting her new boyfriend close to their son, “It’s been interesting to hear about what a lot of guys have had to say”.

Ciara also addressed her social media critics (and indirectly, Future, who has been vocal about his dislike of Russell Wilson’s presence in his son’s life).

The controversy exploded in May when the couple was spotted walking in San Antonio’s River Walk and Wilson was seen pushing Baby Future’s stroller and looking comfortable in a fatherly role. “If I was a kid, and my mom had a dude pushing me, I would’ve jumped out the stroller and slapped the s- out of him”. Not only did they bring a handsome son into the world, Future Zahir Wilburn, but the two also seemed so in love.

When CiCi brought the one-year-old to Wilson’s Seahawks training camp, Future took to his timeline with some vague but thorny tweets: “Never make a permanent decision over a temporary circumstance…”

‘That’s been a big conversation. “It’s kind of like what’s the difference here?” Even with the men who are outspoken, it’s like, wouldn’t you want someone to love on the child that you’re speaking about? More than anything, it is a child we’re talking about, and that’s the thing that I think people have to think about. Remove the adults from the situation. That’s what comes with it, but when it comes to my child, that’s not something I take lightly. In an interview with the publication Wilson said the decision came to him while she was on tour.

Double standard much? Well Ciara said that she tried to get Future and Russell to speak but Future wasn’t having that. “To the guys who have such an opinion, know your facts!”
