Future Talks Ex Ciara, Drake & Meek Mill Beef, More in 'XXL' Cover Story

Future continues to have a massive 2015. On the heels of his No. 1 album Dirty Sprite 2 and his Drake collaboration What a Time To Be Alive, the "Where Ya At" rapper opened up about his ex-fiancee Ciara, the Drake and Meek Mill beef and his successes in the latest issue of XXL.

In the course of 12 months, the rapper has dropped five projects Monster, Beastmode, 56 Nights, Dirty Sprite 2 and WATTBA which has solidified his reign in 2015. However, on the personal front it has been a completely different story. His frayed relationship with Ciara has played out in the public eye and he's had his parenting skills for son baby Future scrutinized by the masses.

In the interview with XXL, he opens up revealing that he feels that his former fiancee's motive aren't all the way pure when it comes to having their child around her new man Russell Wilson.

According to Future, he doesn't have a problem with baby Future being around Wilson saying, "I'm telling you right now, I'm giving you two sides. Like, I'm cool with it. I'm cool with him being around him but certain situations, we all in the public eye, you can't move around with my son a certain kind of way, you know what I'm saying? I feel like a lot of moves are just made out of just being evil, basically. Because, you know, the success of my album and you still want to make certain moves to take the spotlight off me a little bit and shed light on a negative situation. Why would you want to put light on a negative situation? Even if I didn't care about it, the people have a way of looking at it. Why would you want to give these people an opinion on our kid? Why won't we just let our child be a child?"

He also goes on to suggest that he wants to be completely involved in all the decisions that Ciara is makes regarding their child.

"I want to be able to judge him for myself. I want to judge the nannies that's around my child. I don't want to pay for a nanny that I never met, that I never got a chance to interview. That's not the life I want for my child. I want to be involved 100 percent in all decisions made," he said. "This my flesh and blood. If I don't want him to do something, there's supposed to [be a] compromise or we supposed to talk about it. You not supposed to just go behind my back and do it. This is my son, too."

Another huge topic of discussion since WATTBA dropped is the nature of he and Mill's relationship since he dropped a joint project with his nemesis Drake. Although most would think Mill's epic Twitter rant back in July would force Future to take a side in the matter, he emphasizes that he is neutral in their beef and has a different relationship with both.

"On some real shit, I love Meek. And the Drake situation, I feel like genuinely we've been building a great relationship over these years. We got history together. We went on a few tours together so it was like, publicly, some things was said and it was took out of context. And even with the situation coming out, we put it all behind us, went on a sold out tour and we built from that and I feel like it's genuine, it's authentic and we built trust between each other," he said. "So with trust it's just bringing us closer because in this industry, as you get bigger, I feel like you lose trust for everyone around you. You feel like the people you come in contact with, you can't trust them. So I feel like it had to happen over years, that couldn't happen over a few month"
