On the heels of his highly anticipated I Never Liked You album, Future is making headlines for attending his adopted son‘s high school graduation.
The recent graduate, Jaiden, shared the news through Instagram earlier this week. He was sure to commemorate the occasion with numerous different pics, including a couple alongside the “toxic king.”

Jaiden’s achievement was celebrated with a graduation party following the commencement ceremony. A short clip from the gathering soon began circulating online.
“Say thank you to Nayvadius for always being there,” Jaiden’s mother, referring to Future by his legal first name, instructed her son during a speech.
“I just want to just say I’m proud of Jaiden,” Future added. “I didn’t graduate high school, so I always wanted my sons to graduate high school.”

Once word began to spread, people started sharing less-than-positive opinions on the situation, with many speculating that Future was doing the bare minimum by showing up for the graduation.

Despite people’s comments on the matter, we have to acknowledge that Future has consistently shouted Jaiden out on social media, seemingly suggesting that the pair remain close.
“Happy bday to my son Jaiden. I’m behind u 1000%!! I love u the most, kid,” Future tweeted last September.
“Happy Freebandz day to my son Jaiden, he made 12 today..love u forever & ever,” he wrote back in 2016.

Another testament to their relationship is that Jaiden recently made a clever reference to his Future’s recent album in a prom upload.
In photos featuring a show-stopping ride, Jaiden appeared to emulate the vibe of Future’s album cover, which features him riding in the backseat of a car with his eyes covered. He also captioned the upload, “I NEVER LIKED YOU.”
