Future is having quite an amazing year, from his highly talked about mixtapes, the release of his third studio album DS2, and his joint project with fellow hip hop heavyweight Drake for What a Time to Be Alive.  His popularity has grown exponentially to the point where he has his own “Future Hive”.  Now he’s landed the cover of the Fall 2015 issue of XXL.  In an open and honest interview, Future discussed co-parenting with R&B singer Ciara and her relationship with Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson who’s controversially been spending a lot time with their son baby Future.

ON SPLITTING PARENTING

“I want to be able to judge him for myself. I want to judge the nannies that’s around my child. I don’t want to pay for a nanny that I never met, that I never got a chance to interview. That’s not the life I want for my child. I want to be involved 100 percent in all decisions made. This my flesh and blood. If I don’t want him to do something, there’s supposed to [be a] compromise or we supposed to talk about it. You not supposed to just go behind my back and do it. This is my son, too.”

“I’m telling you right now, I’m giving you two sides. Like, I’m cool with it. I’m cool with him being around him but certain situations, we all in the public eye, you can’t move around with my son a certain kind of way, you know what I’m saying? I feel like a lot of moves are just made out of just being evil, basically. Because, you know, the success of my album and you still want to make certain moves to take the spotlight off me a little bit and shed light on a negative situation. Why would you want to put light on a negative situation? Even if I didn’t care about it, the people have a way of looking at it. Why would you want to give these people an opinion on our kid? Why won’t we just let our child be a child?”
