Rapper Future Faces Paternity and Child Support Lawsuit From Ex Layla Sanad — Two Years of Back Pay Sought for 9-Year-Old Son Across Florida Courts

Rapper Future Faces Paternity and Child Support Lawsuit From Ex Layla Sanad — Two Years of Back Pay Sought for 9-Year-Old Son Across Florida Courts

FLORIDA — Rapper Future is facing a paternity and child support lawsuit filed in Florida by his ex Layla Sanad, who is asking a judge to formally solidify a child support agreement for their 9-year-old son identified as K.W., born in 2017, with Sanad also seeking two years of back pay as the case works its way through the court system.

Layla Sanad Files Florida Case Claiming Future Is Father of 9-Year-Old Son

According to reports from TMZ, Layla Sanad filed a case in Florida asserting that Future is the biological father of her 9-year-old son K.W., who was born in 2017. Sanad states that she and Future were in a relationship at the time of the child’s birth and claims that Future has personally admitted the child is his.

Sanad is now seeking to make the paternity and child support arrangement officially recognised through the court system, pushing for a formal legal agreement rather than any informal arrangement that may have existed previously between the two parties.

Sanad Seeking Child Support Payment Plus Two Years of Back Pay

Beyond formal paternity recognition, Layla Sanad is asking the court to order Future to pay ongoing child support for their son. The filing also includes a request for two years of back pay, meaning Sanad is seeking compensation for the period during which she claims no formal support agreement was in place despite Future’s alleged acknowledgment of his paternity.

The inclusion of back pay in the filing significantly increases the financial stakes of the case and adds an additional layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings between the two parties.

Future Files to Dismiss Florida Case Citing Arizona as Proper Jurisdiction

In January 2026, Future responded to the Florida filing by submitting paperwork asking the presiding judge to dismiss the case. Future’s legal team argued that Arizona would be the more appropriate jurisdiction to handle the matter, pointing out that both Layla Sanad and the child currently reside in Arizona rather than Florida.

The jurisdictional challenge introduced by Future’s filing added a procedural dimension to the case, with the question of which state holds proper authority over the child support matter becoming a key point of contention between the two sides.

Future Reportedly Admits Paternity in Arizona Case and Claims Voluntary Monthly Payments

In a significant development from the Arizona case proceedings, Future reportedly admitted to being the father of a son named Kash Wilburn. Future also claimed through the Arizona case that he has been voluntarily sending Layla Sanad $3,500 per month in financial support for the child on an ongoing basis.

The admission of paternity in the Arizona case and the claimed voluntary payments add considerable context to the Florida lawsuit, with the legal battle between Future and Sanad continuing to develop across two separate state jurisdictions.
