'I took care of his kids': Ciara fires back at ex Future

Ciara has fired back at the ex-fiance Future's criticism of her parenting.

The 29-year-old responded after the rapper blasted her for allowing their son Future Jnr to spend time with her current boyfriend, footballer Russell Wilson.

She accused the 31-year-old of double standards, since she looked after his three other children when they were together.

'It's been very interesting to hear what a lot of guys have had to say,' she said in an interview with CBS.

'I feel like in a sense it's a bit of a double standard, because at one point in time when we were together, I took care of his kids as well - at a very young time in our relationship.'

'I was involved very early in the stage of us getting to know each other,' she said. 

However, Future didn't like the fact his ex was playing happy families with the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, after he was seen pushing the boy's stroller.

'If I was a kid, and my momma had some dude pushing me, I would've jumped out the stroller and slapped the sh*t out of him,' the Karate Chop hitmaker said in an interview with New York's Power 105.1 last month.

'You never do that in our community. You don’t even bring a man around your son. You only know this dude for a few months and you’re bringing him around your kid? Who does that? Nobody does that.'

But Ciara - who made a conscious effort to reach out to Future's several baby mamas - wanted to know how there was any difference in her situation, and questioned why a parent would have a problem with their child being loved.

'That's been a big conversation. It's kind of like, "Well, what's the difference here?" she said. 'I think that even for the men that were outspoken, it's like, wouldn't you want someone to love on your child?

'More than anything, it is a child we're talking about. That's the thing that I think people have to think about. It's like: Remove the adults from the situation. Really, this is my child here, and that's serious.' 

She said she even tried to have the two men meet to talk, but her ex ignored her. 

'I did reach out to my son's father for him and Russell to speak and he didn't want to talk to me,' she revealed.

She also opened up about the fact that her and Russell have decided to remain celibate, in order to 'challenge themselves' and get to know each other first.
