Not even three months after being dragged on Twitter for saying he uses his voice to “empower men” like Beyonce empowers women (click here to read more on that), Future (born Nayvadius Wilburn) is courting controversy for comparing himself to yet another music star renown for community activism: the late Nipsey Hussle.
The 33-year-old, whose death to gun violence rocked headlines over the weekend, has been the subject of an outpouring of condolences from fans and celebrities alike (including the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, and many more as we reported here). When Wilburn took to social media to offer his sympathies, however, he appears to have taken a wrong turn…
As our friends at TSR captured, Future wanted to remind fans that he – like Hussle – has been ‘teaching and preaching’ the people how to live better lives. Needless to say, the ‘Mask Off’ rapper’s comments turned off a few of his followers.
Their responses below:

Future has since deleted his remarks.
This is who y’all be getting to #1 on Billboard…. ??♂️
Futuresha strikes again! ?
African Americans idolising illiterate rappers who can’t construct a proper sentence or spell correctly. These are who your kids look up to, these are who your kids aspire to be, The African American community is in big big trouble.
Keep the racial generalizations to yourself you dumb f***.
