Future Talks Custody Battle, Relationship With Ex Ciara: We’re ‘Connected for Life’

Future is speaking out and even happier.

In a Rolling Stone interview released on Wednesday, the rapper opened up about his relationship with ex-fiancée Ciara, and their explosive custody battle over two-year-old son Future Zahir.

“I can’t deal with it,” Future told the magazine about the custody battle that has resulted from his breakup with the singer. “I can’t even think about it. I never imagined my life would be like that: ‘I’m going to sue you and take away from you.’”

“I don’t know how to deal with something like that,” the 32-year-old rapper confessed, adding that making music in the studio has become a source of escape. “All I know is record, record, record, record.”

Of course, his relationship with Ciara has been tense for some time – three months after welcoming their son in 2014, Future was accused of cheating on the “Body Party” singer. The resulting breakup quickly turned volatile – with Future speaking out about his ex on several occasions.

Just last July, the rapper addressed pictures of Ciara’s then-boyfriend (now fiancé), Russell Wilson, pushing Future Jr. in a stroller.

“You never do that in our community. You don’t even bring a man around your son. You only know this dude for a few months and you’re bringing him around your kid? Who does that?” he said during a radio interview with the Breakfast Club. “I’m not for the publicity stunts. Leave my son out of the publicity stunts.”
