Hip Hop heads may have been bumping Future for a few years now, but the mainstream media is just now catching on to the Freebandz leader’s wave. Perhaps making history with the first back-to-back #1 albums ever helped him land a Billboard cover story.
In the feature, the Atlanta star shares his journey from the Dungeon Family days to touring with Drake, selling out arenas across the country.
For all of his popularity, Future has yet to be nominated for a Grammy, something that Kanye West has mourned, but Future doesn’t seem to mind.
“The Grammys, they get what they get — the shit that they don’t, it’s the shit that they maybe don’t want to understand,” he says. “They’re not going to keep me from doing what I’m supposed to do as an artist.”
He also discusses his role as a father and says he enjoys being a provider for his five children. While he seems hesitant to give a clear answer on how he feels about reaching a conclusion with Ciara — earlier this year, the two settled their custody battle and she called off her $15 million defamation lawsuit — Future Hendrix expresses confidence in where he’s at in life.
“I feel like everything happened for a reason,” he says. “I’m happy with life now. I’m happy with life, period, even with the end of a relationship … I’m just not going to settle for anything, you know? Even in my life now, I know I can be a better person. I ain’t giving up on myself, so if you give up on me, I ain’t got nothing else to say for you. Because if you give up on something that’s real, it wasn’t real to you.”
And Ciara isn’t the only woman Future’s made headlines with. He’s been rumored to be cozy with Scotty Pippen’s wife and reveals that there’s much more to his love life than what the public knows.
“What the people don’t understand is, I been kicking it with superstars when it comes to females for a minute — on the low-low with nobody don’t know-know,” he shares.

Grammy’s is fading away nobody care and viewership is down all these wack ass award shows are dying
Furthest from the truth.
Oh its true my friend check them numbers when black actors boycotted the Oscars they attempted to hand out a few token awards the grammy’s are rigged and they reported there viewership was down todays youth are not watching this crap
Its true the grammys are 1 of many very aging structures in our society that just arent keeping up or mainting relevance its just a means of increasing record sales by putting some gimmick like “grammy award winning artist” or “winner of 5 grammys” on there album or magazinr cover which translates to $$$$$ but fortunatley our world is thriving on free market public media and social media platforms that topple the grammys and inform people without some stupid gimmick its gonna go the way of the mall
Dont care new bizzy n krayzie album coming soon..hell yeah
He don’t need no affirmation bc he puts out trash music.
I wouldn’t go as far as calling his music trash but it sure is basic as F. It’s just not Grammy contending, he can’t seek affirmation from something doesn’t accept him. He’s nothing like the rest of Dungeon Family.
Bob Marley never won,biggie ,PAC , jimmy hendrix, dmx, snoop. So why u gotta worry when u ain’t better than non of them
he desperately wants a grammy. if he didnt want one, it wouldn’t be discussed. he is like a a petulant donald trump seeking affirmation and validation from others around him
