Future‘s innocent birthday shoutout to his son with Ciara sparked an onslaught of jokes referencing the child’s stepfather, Russell Wilson.
Baby Future turned 10 years old on Sunday (May 19), and his father took to X (formerly Twitter) to send him birthday wishes. Given the nature of their relationship and the fact that the NFL star is seen with Future Jr. much more than his biological father, fans had plenty of jokes.
“Thank god for Baby Future. More life More blessings…I love u infinity,” the trapstar wrote.
“Russ gave him a better shoutout that’s crazy,” one person responded, while another person added: “my boy u need to go see him or sumn.”
A third social-media user wrote: “Bro we gotta let Russel have him… focus on the other 12 my king…”
Thank god for Baby Future. More life More blessings…I love u infinity 🦅

Baby Future lives with Ciara and Russell Wilson, as well as his three siblings.
During a mid-September chat with The Shade Room, the “Promise” hitmaker was asked about raising a child with her ex.

“What is co-parenting like for you guys?” asked the host, which she replied to with a long, drawn out cackle, answering the question without uttering a single word.
Ciara and Future were engaged briefly before ending their relationship in 2014, and she has credited the breakup with bringing her life and career some much-needed clarity to help her move forward.
“I told myself I’ve got to figure out how to navigate in the next chapter of my life,” she said in an interview with Women’s Healthback in 2022. “All the things I was aspiring to have at that time, even thinking about love, I was like, it’s going to happen when it’s supposed to.
“But I can’t love anybody to the best of my ability if I’m not loving on myself. I can’t be the best mom if I’m not loving on myself. So I put more focus on me, taking care of me; it was the best thing I could have done.”
Ciara quickly moved on following an ugly public split from Future and started dating the Pittsburg Steelers quarterback after they met at a University of Wisconsin basketball game in early 2015.
The couple got married a year later in 2016.
