Tuesday morning, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson posted a heartfelt birthday message to Ciara‘s son, Future Zahir Wilburn, with whom she had with her ex-fiance, rapper Future. Wilson posted a video to both Instagram and Twitter that showed him and Future Zahir swimming underwater in their pool. Wilson then referred to himself as Future’s “daddy,” which sparked a debate on social media.
When Wilson posted the video, a multitude of users on Twitter and Instagram responded. Some felt that he couldn’t call himself Future’s dad due to the rapper Future being his biological father. Others appreciated how Wilson has become a father figure to the young child since marrying Ciara. Although one separate group wanted to know why this argument was even taking place.

“My inspiration. My best friend. Full of Love, Joy & Grace. I thank Jesus for u & being able to lead & guide u. Your future is forever endless & I pray you swim into every opportunity & obstacle in life w/ this much Love & Enthusiasm. Happy 6th BDay Future! Daddy loves you!” Wilson wrote in the caption of his birthday posts. He wanted to celebrate another big day in the child’s life, but many social users wanted to keep the argument going.

The problem is not that there are too many Russell Wilsons the problem is that there are not enough. People who have an issue with this is a reason why so many kids donโt have father figures.

This is so sweet, Russell. I just love the bond you have with your son. Youโve been the dad consistently changing diapers, leading, etc.,since he was 10 months old. Much RESPECT to you & Happy Birthday Future! pic.twitter.com/yuKZqYPaoO

Even if he isnโt the bio dad, he cares for, feeds, and loves future! In my eyes that more of a dad than I ever had! Beautiful family! โค๏ธ

I see a lot of people tweet about how Future supporters hate Russell Wilson. But I rarely actually see Future supporters tweet about how they hate Russell Wilson.

it’s wild to me how people on here are so invested in the Ciara/Russell Wilson/Future situation as it involves their kid. Folks probably ain’t this invested in their own parenting/coparenting situations.
