Last week social media went crazy with discussion over the pictures of Russell Wilson, star quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks and his relationship with the child of Ciara and rapper Future. Most people I've spoken with have taken sides on the matter. I figured there was no better time than now for me to add my two cents;
Double standard
If the shoe was on the other foot and Russell was bringing his son to watch his beautiful new girlfriend during a video shoot and junior was rocking an ATL shirt and Ciara gave the young man a hug would there be a big deal? Does anyone remember Will and Jada or Russell Simmons and his family makeup?
The Grey Area
This is all speculation. Folks on both sides are jumping to conclusions based on a few Instagram pics and some 160 character tweets. I personally need more information before I CALL Russell a punk or infer that he's overstepping certain boundaries.
A Father’s point of view
I've actually been on both sides of the equation. And the most important thing is the child, and that all adults involved in the situation are putting aside ego, revenge or any other petty issue and is focusing on the wellbeing of the baby! I personally wouldn't have an issue because Russ and I would have spoken and he would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'm here doing my job and all parenting decisions will be made by the paternal parents. But if you're a good dude and respect those boundaries please treat my child as you would your own.
