Soon after Jakobi’s birth, Future and Smith split up and had a bit of a rift over the years regarding child support and the rapper’s presence in his son’s life. This was highlighted in a 2016 lawsuit where Jessica Smith sued Future for child support and accused him of neglecting Jakobi. Jakobi is now a rapper and goes by the name King Kobi. He has released a handful of singles and projects since 2020, including NORP SEASON, and Kobi$torm, among others. Unfortunately, he made headlines in 2020 after getting arrested on charges such as criminal gang activity, criminal trespass, and altered ID of a firearm.

Future and India J welcomed their daughter into the world on March 9, 2009. The couple’s relationship lasted for two years but ended shortly after Londyn was born. Despite their separation, the two seem to be on good terms. When the rapper gave shoutouts to the mothers of some of his children on Mother’s Day in 2020, he mentioned India J with much praise. “Such a great mother and always putting the kids 1st..u keep me sane and I’m forever grateful for u, Thank u,” he wrote. Londyn Wilburn is now 15 years old, and even though she’s not seen very often, she seems to have a nice relationship with both her parents.

The 10-year-old’s mother is an entrepreneur and creative director with affiliation to Cre8 Co, and Caresha Please, among others. Although Future and Mealy are no longer together, Prince has grown up spending time with both of them.

Future Zahir Wilburn

Of all the kids in the world, only Future Zahir Wilburn can boast of having Future and Ciara as his parents. However, the 9-year-old’s relationship with his biological father has been quite contentious throughout his life. Allegedly, most of his growth has been witnessed by his mother Ciara and his stepfather Russell Wilson. Future Zahir Wilburn was born on May 19, 2014, when his parents were still engaged. However, soon after his birth, their engagement was called off and they never got back together. In 2023, Ciara suggested that her co-parenting relationship with Future is rather rocky after a journalist asked her about where they currently stand.

Kash Wilburn

Kash Wilburn is one of two kids fans didn’t know existed until Future revealed it in 2020. The youngster’s exact date of birth is unknown, but he was born sometime in 2015. When shouting out the mothers of his kids in 2020, Future mentioned Kash’s mom. However, the rapper kept the woman anonymous, choosing not to disclose her name. “My son Kash mother…real one. Cut frm a different cloth! Happy Mother’s Day baby k,” he wrote on X.

Although the two have since separated, they have managed to maintain an amicable relationship. Despite their breakup, they co-parent their son, and are both present figures in his life.

Paris Wilburn

Paris Wilburn is the second of the two kids whose existence was revealed on Mother’s Day in a 2020 tweet. Before then, fans had no idea the rapper had a child named Paris, so it was quite a surprise. Although we are not sure of the child’s exact date of birth, she was born sometime in 2019. Like he did with Kash’s mom, Future chose not to reveal the identity of Paris’ mom in his Mother’s Day shout-out post. “Paris your mom deserve it! Happy Mother’s Day mama,” he wrote.

Reign Wilburn

The last of the rapper’s kids, Reign Wilburn is shared by Future and Eliza Seraphim. The four-year-old girl was born on April 19, 2019. Eliza Seraphim, a model and party promoter, is not the biggest fan of Future. As a matter of fact, the relationship between the two former lovers is one of the most sour in recent rap couple history. This is because of the sequence of events that occurred after Reign was born. After being hit with a lawsuit for paternity and child support, and months of denying Reign, a DNA test finally proved that Future was the child’s father. Subsequently, the judge who oversaw the case ruled that Future should pay $3,200 monthly for Reign’s expenses. However, by then, the relationship between Future and Seraphim was pretty much broken. Not much has been heard from Eliza Seraphim or Reign Wilburn since then.

“Forever” singer Ciara’s post-baby bouncebacks are always mind-blowing to see. After welcoming her fourth child in December, Ciara is already back to sporting stunning hip-hugging looks at industry events.

Yesterday (February 24), during the 2024 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, her husband, Russell Wilson, and viewers at home weren’t the only people in awe of The Color Purple star’s beauty. In fact, users online pointed out that Pedro Pascal stopped in his tracks to admire Ciara on the pre-ceremony carpet.

In a video clip originally captured by E! and reposted by a fan page, folks across X (formerly Twitter) joked about what Pascal’s intrusive thoughts are tempting him to say.

“Pedro was wondering if Russell [Wilson] can fight,” wrote one user.

“Oh honey, he was mesmerized,” penned another.

“Every gay man chooses a diva to imprint on. It’s clear he chose her 👀😂,” joked a user.

Although Ciara didn’t take home the SAG Award, she didn’t let that stop her from enjoying the career milestone with a fabulous post on Instagram. “My 1st SAG Award Nomination #TheColorPurple,” she wrote. “Let’s Go🤘🏽.”

But something Ciara did celebrate at the event was the upcoming 20th anniversary of her debut studio album, Goodies. While chatting with E! correspondent and actress Lavern Cox, Ciara talked about what that meant to her. “It’s a blessing to me,” she said. “To know that I was a baby [when that dropped] and I’m still dreaming big and living my dreams out…it motivates me so much”.”

Russell Wilson may have just had one of the most difficult seasons in his NFL career. His Denver Broncos missed the playoffs after an up and down year that eventually saw him benched in favor of a backup quarterback.

Last month, right in the midst of his rocky season his wife Ciara gave birth to their new baby Amora.

Earlier today the quarterback shared an adorable post of Ciara and their new baby. “The Most Beautiful View” he captioned a black and white picture of mother and daughter together. In the comments, fans showed love to the couple. “They have the most beautiful children” and “U really winning in life” two of the top comments on the post read.

Stunna Girl Shades Ciara After Her Song “Stand Up” Gets Removed Due To Copyright Infringement

by

In the ever-dynamic world of music, a new chapter of drama has unfolded as rising star Stunna Girl finds herself at odds with Ciara and her fanbase. The controversy stems from Stunna Girl’s recent sampling of Ciara’s hit track “Goodies” in her song “Stand Up.” The song features YG and was released last week. It appears that Ciara’s team took notice and made a move, prompting Stunna Girl to remove the track from YouTube. The brewing conflict spilled over onto social media. With Stunna Girl airing her grievances and taking a stand against what she perceives as a double standard.

In a candid social media post, Stunna Girl expressed her frustration with the situation. Particularly with the involvement of Ciara’s team. The artist didn’t mince words, stating, “I literally hate when producers use samples. These artists be actin like they made the beat it’s so many people that used that beat but @ciara team writing me saying she personally contacted them about me.” Moreover, she went on to highlight what she sees as an inconsistency in the treatment of sampled beats based on the artist’s racial background. “But anytime I done used a beat that was sampled by a white artist they didn’t give af,” she said.

However, she claimed that when she used a beat previously sampled by a white artist, there was no concern or interference. One fan pointed out that Stunna is uninformed. They commented “It’s giving you don’t know anything about copyrights or the music industry if you are surprised. There are artists paying other artist for just using the same line in a song.” Stunna then responded with, “Not my problem I paid the producer he the one who they should be emailing.”

The removal of “Stand Up” from YouTube suggests the impact of Ciara’s intervention. In addition to the seriousness with which Stunna Girl’s sampling was regarded. The clash between these two artists adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing conversation about creative rights and ownership in the music industry. She continued to defend her stance on the situation, claiming that she “didn’t make the beat,” so it’s “not her problem.” Thoughts?

Ciara is of course married to football star Russell Wilson, but it turns out that’s actually not her only familial connection to the sports world: In a new clip from the PBS series Finding Your Roots, Ciara finds out that she is related to a former New York Yankees all-time great.

In the clip shared by Ciara on social media, Ciara turns a page of a book being presented to her, and when she sees what’s on it, she immediately looks up and exclaims, “What the world?!” The photo was of Derek Jeter, and host Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. explained, “That is your DNA cousin.” Ciara replied, “You are kidding me. Derek Jeter,” adding, “That’s crazy.”

In a voiceover, Gates explained share a “long, identical stretch of DNA on their 14th chromosome, DNA which we know Derek inherited from his mother.”

Ciara wrote while sharing the clip, “The moment I learned @DerekJeter was my cousin! Crazy! Thank you @drhenrylouisgates for such an incredible experience! This was a dream come true to learn about my family genealogy!”

The episode aired last night (January 2), and in the same one, Alanis Morissette made a surprising discovery of her own, learning that she’s a distant cousin of actress Claire Danes (as Entertainment Weekly notes). She said, “I’ve worked with her before, I heart her so much. Now I’m about to explode into confetti!”

Was Ciara In The New ‘The Color Purple’ Movie?

The new movie adaption of The Color Purple Broadway musical hit theaters yesterday, and now that it’s out, fans on social media have been wondering whether star singer Ciara has a role in the film. The film stars singers like Fantasia Barrino, Halle Bailey, HER (credited under her real name, Gabriela Wilson), and Jon Batiste, and with Ciara showing up at the premiere in Los Angeles earlier this month (just before her fourth child was born), it’s only natural to wonder whether she’s also in the movie.

Of course, the answer could be considered a spoiler, so if you haven’t seen it and want to go in fresh, feel free to bookmark and come back later. For those who have seen the film or just want to know ahead of time, read on.

Ciara does appear in the film, but only for a few minutes at the end, when she plays the role of Nettie Johnson, recently returned from Africa to reunite with her sister Celie (played by Fantasia). Ciara’s character is the older version of Halle Bailey’s; when we last see Bailey in the role, she’s run off the farm owned by her sister’s new husband, promising to write her every week.

Unfortunately, for a multitude of reasons, she’s kept from seeing Celie until both are much older. Ciara participates in the finale number, “The Color Purple,” along with the rest of the ensemble.

The Color Purple is now playing in theaters nationwide.
