Back in October 2013, he was engaged to Ciara the mother of one of his sons but their relationship ended in August 2014 due to his unfaithfulness.

In 2016, Future faced legal action from Jessica Smith and Ciara. Smith sued him for not paying child support claiming their son was suffering emotionally and behaviorally due to Future’s neglect.

Future’s Musical style

Future’s music is often described as trap music. He heavily relies on Auto-Tune in his songs using it for both rapping and singing. Critics have praised his use of Auto-Tune saying he finds unique ways to use it to express emotion. For instance, Pitchfork mentioned in 2013 that Future Shows Auto-Tune can still be a fascinating artistic tool.

The LA Times wrote in 2016 that his processed vocals convey a sense of desperation influenced by drugs love or technology capturing the overstimulation of our times. GQ also noted in 2014 that Future has revitalized the Auto-Tune sound blending it with his distinct singing style to convey raw emotions and energy. Critic Simon Reynolds even commented in 2018 that Future has reinvented blues music for the modern era.

However, not everyone has been supportive of his unconventional use of Auto-Tune. Rapper T-Pain known for popularizing the effect criticized Future’s approach in 2014. In response, he explained in an interview that he originally used Auto-Tune to add a gritty texture to his rap voice not to sing like T-Pain. He emphasized that his use of Auto-Tune is unique to his style setting him apart from others in the music industry.
