Future is reportedly at the center of a paternity suit filed by his ex, Layla Sanad, who has claimed the rapper is the father of her nine-year-old son.
According to TMZ, Sanad filed the suit in a Florida court in order to establish paternity as she’s seeking child support from the Atlanta rapper.
In the action, she claims she was previously in a romantic relationship with Future (real name Nayvadius Cash — he reportedly changed his name from Nayvadius Wilburn in 2022) and that the two of them had a son identified only by his initials, K.W., who is said to have been born in 2017.
Sanad claims that Future admitted to being the father, and so she's now asking the courts to make it official. Besides ongoing child support, she's reportedly asking for two years of retroactive support.
TMZ reported that Future has responded by filing court documents of his own asking for the Florida case to be dismissed in favor of "a more convenient forum." In his filing, he reportedly claims that Sanad and her son lived in Arizona, and that he already filed his own case in that state. The court has not yet ruled on his filing.
Reportedly, Future admitted in the Arizona case that he's the father of a son named Kash Wilburn — which matches the K.W. initials in Sanad's Florida suit — and that he's been voluntarily paying $3,500 per month in child support to Sanad.
Last month, Future, who reportedly has at least seven children, was called out by his ex-girlfriend, Brittni Mealy, over a court order relating to their 12-year-old son, Prince.
In a petition filed in Fulton County Superior Court at the beginning of March, Mealy alleged that the Mixtape Pluto rapper breached a 2023 court order to obtain a $500,000 life insurance policy for their son, with Mealy being named as a trustee. She claims that Future was supposed to get the policy by August 12, 2023, but that it still hasn’t happened.
Mealy wants the rapper to be held in contempt and jailed until he complies with the order.
