Folks upset Russell Wilson called himself Future Jr.’s ‘daddy’ on birthday note

Social media is debating whether it was right for NFL quarterback Russell Wilson to refer to himself as Future Jr.’s “daddy” in a touching birthday message on Instagram on May 19.

Future Jr.’s father, rap star Future (born Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn), 36, wished his biological child a happy birthday also, penning the following:

“It’s your day TWIN, more life more love and blessings…stay true to yourself always put God 1st…Big Six,” he penned on Twitter. In another message, Future wrote “Happy Birthday FUTURE. Love u FOREVER twin.”

Some folks have taken issue with the fact that Wilson, the signal-caller for the Seattle Seahawks, is referring to someone else’s child as his “son” on an Instagram message. Wilson’s wife Ciara, a singer who had Future Jr. with Future, later married Wilson. She retains primary custody of Future Jr., which makes it easily understandable for Wilson to have developed a close relationship with the 6-year-old.

On his May 19 birthday, Wilson wrote this for his 4.5 million followers.

Twitter was quick to develop a debate over whether Wilson’s wording for Future Jr was appropriate.
