But it's still a perfect example of the ultra decadent life that Future loves so much
00:00:17.080
Any fan of the artist knows that he has fathered a huge amount of children
00:00:20.560
His 8th baby mama was just confirmed earlier this year
00:00:23.820
And while people might criticize Future for his
00:00:40.940
It seems that Future likes to make sure that his children are well
00:00:45.480
That's Future's most toxic moment to give your child a present?
00:00:50.500
In May of 2019 it was revealed that Future had gifted his son a brand new Rolex
00:00:57.940
It becomes a little stranger when you realize the Rolex was gifted for his son's 5th birthday
00:01:05.200
His son affectionately referred to as Baby Future
00:01:13.980
While there's nothing wrong with giving your children expensive gifts
00:01:16.780
It might be going a bit far to give a child a watch worth thousands of dollars
00:01:33.400
While we're talking about Future's plethora of children
00:01:35.900
It would be remiss to not discuss his relationship with the various women who have fathered his children
00:01:42.260
Chad, have you ever seen Future's stressed out?
00:01:54.380
There's no paparazzi pic of his baby mama hitting him in an elevator
00:02:00.520
He's literally looked exactly the same with the sunglasses on
00:02:03.500
Eating cheesecake and saying sensational since 2011
00:02:09.620
They've always, they saw misogynist and everything
00:02:30.600
Have you ever seen Future even, like, blank funny?
00:02:38.780
He also sent out a bevy of tweets wishing a happy Mother's Day to the
00:02:47.200
An additional two women would be confirmed as the mothers to his children a year later
00:02:52.100
Hard to imagine some well-wishing tweets at the center of a controversy
00:02:58.280
Future caught some heat for his apparently uneven level of praise
00:03:02.320
Despite the fact that each tweet had its own personalized message for each woman
00:03:08.580
In about two out of the six tweets caused fans to criticize Future
00:03:12.300
How is that toxic because two were real and the others weren't?
00:03:18.180
That's the six of the eight's fault for not being
00:03:24.100
The rapper found himself being criticized for blatantly favoring two of his baby mamas
00:03:31.760
As you might expect, Future had nothing to say about the criticism and remained completely silent
00:03:39.460
Or was the Twitter's fear too sensitive that day?
00:04:03.380
Perhaps one of Future's most infamous scandals occurred in 2018
00:04:07.000
When he met up with a rising Instagram model named
00:04:11.380
According to the model, the two have been talking on and off since March of that year
00:04:15.380
And Future went as far as bringing her to the studio on several occasions
00:04:19.360
In May, Future asked the model to fly out to LA to see him
00:04:22.640
And asked her to pay for the price of her own ticket
00:04:24.960
Promising that he would compensate for her flight when they finally met up
00:04:29.840
She found out that Future had invited her with the hope of a more intimate encounter
00:04:36.220
Because she felt she had not gotten to know the rapper well enough
00:05:01.200
She found out her hotel room had been booked for only one night
00:05:04.360
And Future refused to compensate for the cost of her flight
00:05:07.320
When the model confronted Future about the issue
00:05:14.900
And was even playfully referenced by Drake on the track
00:05:18.800
While his fans would say a moment like this cements Future as a legend
00:05:55.620
Future is not new to saying some pretty controversial things on his songs
00:05:59.800
But when he was prepping for the release of his 2017
00:06:02.260
Also, good for him for seeing that in the first place
00:06:04.700
Of course that bitch was like their type of person to post their whole conversations online
00:06:43.360
Future is not new to saying some pretty controversial things on his songs
00:06:47.500
But when he was prepping for the release of his 2017 album Hendrix
00:06:51.060
Even Future felt it was necessary to warn his audience that the album may contain some shocking material
00:06:56.740
In an interview with Zane Lowe in February of 2017
00:06:59.640
He mentions the potential controversy and quickly explains he isn't bothered
00:07:08.320
And while there are several songs that Future could be referring to in that quote
00:07:15.100
The lengthy track finds Future taking an in-depth look at his past misdeeds
00:07:27.240
One line in particular however caught the attention of many fans
00:07:41.200
And they said that you shouldn't have said that
00:07:43.220
Look, if you ever fold and you listen to the bum-ass fans who think they know better than you
00:07:53.800
I don't take advice from people less successful than me
00:08:03.020
The line, true or not, took Future's reckless persona too far
00:08:07.820
The rapper drew criticism for his blunt depiction
00:08:10.260
And the devastation and destruction of a family
00:08:15.180
Future however kept true to his words when he spoke to Zayn Lowe
00:08:20.220
And never formally responded to the backlash over the line
00:08:31.660
Can you acknowledge the fans who cried about what you said?
00:08:41.720
In January of 2019, Future made one of the most shocking announcements that he possibly could
00:08:53.920
Future revealed that he had gotten sober quite some time before the announcement
00:08:57.520
But had hidden it from the general public for fear of his fanbase reacting negatively
00:09:01.720
According to Future, he feared that critics would judge his music with a different lens
00:09:06.980
And he was worried fans would blame any perceived decline in quality on his sobriety
00:09:11.380
And while Future hid the truth to avoid criticism
00:09:13.720
The revelation actually wound up drawing some of its own
00:09:16.540
Many fans argued that Future was disingenuous for continuing to promote a lifestyle riddled with substance abuse
00:09:25.140
These weren't fans, it was just people on Twitter who started a hashtag
00:09:30.460
Particularly harsh critics reflected on Future's influence on the younger generation of musicians
00:09:37.200
Who once admitted his first experiments with drugs were because of his admiration of Future
00:09:41.700
Many argued that Future's influence had been damaging and could not be undone
00:09:46.180
It seems like Future had wedged himself between a rock and a hard place
00:09:49.620
And was bound to receive criticism whether or not he ever sobered up
00:09:53.180
Hopefully his sobriety means we get to keep him around for much longer
00:10:00.120
As we've already explored Future has been the subject of criticism for his often shallow standards for women
00:10:22.800
Future was back in the hot seat in March of 2019
00:10:25.400
When a plus-sized model accused him of body shaming and discrimination
00:10:34.600
These used to mean like when you were in court and then you R-worded a girl
00:10:37.840
But now there's allegations and accusations if you call a bitch fat
00:10:57.320
Like life-ruining words that only exist in the law
00:11:54.500
And accused the rapper of being misogynistic and body shaming
00:12:15.680
Some debated whether it was really Future's rules
00:12:18.200
Or if the regulations were set in place by the club
00:12:20.920
However, unlike most of Future's previous scandals
00:12:31.740
Was Shaput really the target of discrimination at Future's hand?
00:12:38.540
Target of discrimination used to mean like when you were sitting on a bus
00:13:10.460
You forget how much shit that you're not supposed to do
00:13:18.340
To keep up with everything that you're supposed to do
00:13:22.560
The article of clothing in question was a black sweater
00:13:29.280
Which many critics compared to derogatory racial stereotypes
00:13:36.480
And the company issued a statement saying it was
00:13:51.160
Deeply apologetic for any offense it may have called
00:14:02.900
With support from public figures like Spike Lee
00:14:12.640
Stating that he already purchased tons of Gucci
