A court recently decided to turn down singer and model Ciara’s request for full child custody of her son, Future.

The 30-year-old music artist claimed that the father of her child, Nayvadius Wilburn, who goes by the stage name “Future,” is a bad parent and is oftentimes away from their son for long periods of time. A court ruling decided that Ciara and Future will share joint custody of their 2-year-old son. The custody battle comes after Ciara filed a $15 million libel and slander lawsuit against Future. She accused the rapper of verbally attacking her and calling her a bad mother.
