Future is reportedly dealing with a new paternity case filed by his ex, Layla Sanad, who claims he is the father of her nine-year-old son.
According to TMZ, Sanad filed the lawsuit in a Florida court to establish paternity as she seeks child support from the Atlanta rapper. She alleges that they were once in a romantic relationship and share a son, identified only as K.W., who was reportedly born in 2017.
Sanad also claims that Future has already acknowledged being the child’s father and is now asking the court to make it official. Along with ongoing support, she’s reportedly requesting two years’ worth of backdated payments.
Future has since responded by filing his own legal documents, asking for the Florida case to be dismissed in favor of what he describes as a “more convenient forum.” He argues that Sanad and her son are based in Arizona and says he has already opened a case there. A judge has yet to make a decision on that request.
Reports also suggest that in the Arizona case, Future admitted to being the father of a child named Kash Wilburn—matching the K.W. initials mentioned in Sanad’s filing—and that he has been voluntarily paying $3,500 monthly in child support.
This situation comes shortly after another legal issue involving one of his exes, Brittni Mealy. Last month, she reportedly accused Future of failing to follow through on a 2023 court order tied to their 12-year-old son, Prince.
In documents filed in Fulton County Superior Court in early March, Mealy claimed the rapper didn’t secure a $500,000 life insurance policy for their son as required, with her listed as trustee. She says the policy was supposed to be in place by August 12, 2023, but still hasn’t been finalized.
Mealy is now pushing for the court to hold Future in contempt and is seeking possible jail time until he complies with the order.
