I Don’t Know HIM! Ciara Refuses To Say Future’s Name While Announcing Billboard Award Nominees [Video]

Ciara has no time for her baby father Future, so much so that she completely paid him this morning while presenting nominees for the 2016 Billboard Awards.

Cici and Ludacris are set to host the show, and both stopped by Good Morning America on Monday, April 11 to announce the official nominees in various categories. When it came time to do ‘Best Rap Artist’ Ciara completely skipped Future’s name prompting Luda to step in and say it.

Watch the shade ensue below.
