Russell Wilson Seemingly Dismisses Ciara’s Ex, Calls Young Future Her ‘Legacy’ in Jay-Z Song Choice Contest
Days after joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson signed up their son with rapper Future to play for his Pittsburgh Pirates Little Leagues team.
The quarterback, originally chosen by the Baltimore Orioles as a forty first round pick in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft during his freshman yr at North Carolina State, declined to play skilled baseball on the time and was subsequently chosen in the fourth round of the 2010 MLB draft yr through the Colorado Rockies. The multi-sport star, who was a baseball goalie, enthusiastically cheered on his stepson Future as he batted and hit for his latest team.
Wilson shared a clip of the hit on his Instagram Stories Twittershowing support for her 9-year-old extra child.
The next panel of his story showed him and the young player posing side by side. They are each wearing sunglasses and sports gear with their teams’ logos. Wilson wore a Pittsburgh Steelers tracksuit and Future, beaming with a smile, wore a yellow Pirates baseball jersey.
The post tagged his wife, the “How We Roll” singer, the Steelers organization, the NFL, the Pittsburgh Pirates and MLB. Wilson then wrote to have fun the teen’s sporting achievements, “Future 3 Sport Star” with 4 star emojis and a gold trophy.
Despite his efforts to post about celebrating his stepson, fans posted about his wife’s ex and the infant’s famous rap father.

The background music accompanying Wilson’s post is Jay-Z’s “Heritage” from his album “4:44.” The upbeat track discusses the legacy of the Carter name, because the New York rap giant details how hard he worked and what other relations did to enhance the name.
However, some on social media speculated that the song selection was a subtle nod to the “Flip Flop” artist, suggesting that the young Future is Wilson’s true legacy and never his biological father.
“The future… look what you did there, Russ,” one person said he wrote.
“Why do we keep calling him Little Future on This Baby Russ” – one other he wrote.
The name does not imply nun 🌎, just realize it’s Russ, baby

One person tagged the rapper and he wrote“Isn’t it shameful to let another man raise your child? @1future.”
A fan defended the rapper tweeting“Act like he’s the only son of Futures… this MF is so damn busy, he doesn’t have time for all these extracurricular activities, sh…t.”
Future has a complete of eight children with 4 different women. That’s why fans applauded Wilson for being a terrific dad to the younger Future since he entered his life when he was just a couple of months old.
During a recent conversation with Brandon Marshall on his “I Am Athlete” podcast, Wilson compared his role as an additional dad to the biblical story of Joseph getting into parenthood with Jesus.
For Wilson, loving a bit of boy means following what God told him to do the moment he saw him as a bit of child.
Now, years later, he has tried to lift Ciara’s oldest son as his own, teaching him sports and being his biggest coach and fan besides his mother.
In 2023, Wilson posted a video on his Instagram of Lil’ Future playing baseball and reaching a significant milestone.
The QB captioned the post: “His first Home Run right over the fence! 2 hours after the match. Future retrieval of ground balls, flies and extra swings. Just before sunset. Everything that is worth having, that we all have to work for!!! Proud dad moment.”
Fans are mercilessly accusing Wilson of trolling Future with posts about his dad’s life. It’s unclear whether the “March Madness” rapper was present for his son’s home run or his latest hit. However, she rarely shares photos of her children on her social media pages, so we are going to probably never know. But he has been known to involve Wilson and his ex in a song or two.
“I don’t care if the next album is released on Friday lol,” one person said he was joking on X
Future and Ciara dated in 2012, got engaged in 2013 and ended their relationship a couple of months after the birth of their son, whom Wilson met as a toddler. Over the years, Future has called out his ex and her husband in various songs.
Last yr, on Quavo’s song “Shidd (Turn Your Clic Up),” he raps, “I left the field, f**k Russell.” The song was removed because the blissful couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary.
Future Sir: I left the sector / Fk Russell
