*Ciara may have moved on from her ex Future with building a relationship with Russell Wilson, but apparently some men have a problem with the athlete building a relationship with the “I Bet” singer’s 1-year-old son.
Addressing the criticism, Ciara cited a double standard that exists when it comes to her and Future.
“It’s been very interesting to hear what a lot of guys have to say. I feel like in a sense, it’s a double standard because when we were together, I took care of his kids as well in our relationship,” she said during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday (Aug. 18).
Emphasizing her point, Ciara mentioned her initial interaction with Future’s four children, who were introduced to her during the early stages of their relationship.
“I was involved very early in the stages of us getting to know each other. It’s become a big conversation, but it’s like, what’s the difference here? Even with the men who are outspoken, it’s like, wouldn’t you want someone to love on the child that you’re speaking about? And more than anything, it’s a child we’re talking about. That’s the thing I think that people have to think about. We’re all adults in this situation, but this is my child. That’s serious.”
Ciara’s frustration with the criticism was noted by MadameNoire.com, which reports that she was most concerned with her son being at the center of the controversy.
“People are going to talk about me. That’s fine. I’m built for this,” Ciara stated. “People are going to talk about you all the time. That’s what comes with this, but when it comes to your child, it’s something I don’t take lightly. At the end of the day, my son will be the one affected the most by this. That’s what people have to think about instead of kind of like shouting out things.”
“To speak on such a sensitive and real situation when you don’t have all of the facts is a big part of the frustrating part of it all. It’s just like, us adults will be fine,” she continued. My son has to grow up.”
As the interview continued, Ciara made sure to quiet her critics with detailing her effort to reach out to Future to tell him about Wilson and discuss her new situation. Despite the effort, the 30-year-old entertainer admitted that Future refused to talk to her.
“To the guys who have such an opinion: know your facts,” she said. I reached out to my son’s father for him and Russell to speak, and he didn’t want to talk to me. We didn’t get to talk and so that was that. I don’t know what more they would expect for me to do besides to live my life.”
