Lyrics from hip-hop artist Future has the mother of his child worried for the safety of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
“Tryna (expletive) my baby mama, dog what’s up with? You gon’ make me get that heat, I’m pulling up on you.”
The rap from Future has been added to a defamation lawsuit filed by singer Ciara, YAHOO! Sports reports. Wilson is engaged to Ciara and, as YAHOO! points out, has been targeted by Future.

TMZ reports that Ciara called Future’s behavior “frightening.” Included in those alleged threats toward her Wilson are football emojis with guns pointed at them posted on Facebook.
YAHOO! reports that the emojis were posted in 2015, which Future discussed in an interview in which he said he didn’t post them.
KIRO Radio’s John Curley asked “The Barbershop’s” Terry Hollimon and Marcus Trufant if Wilson is really in danger.
“You know how difficult it is to get to Russel Wilson?” Hollimon asked. He and Trufant, a former Seahawk, had to schedule a time to sit down and talk with him. “If you’re Future and you want to get next to Wilson, you have to schedule an appointment six months in advance.”

Trufant believes it’s not so much about anger, but advertising. In the age of social media, Future is probably just trying to get a few more followers and fans.
“I don’t see it as being as serious as it appears,” he said.
