Future is becoming acquainted with the courts as he faces into another lawsuit, this time at the hands of fellow rapper, Rocko.
Rocko is looking to sue Future to the sweet sum of $10 million over a breach in contract.
Rocko is claiming that back in 2011 when he discovered Future, the pair agreed that Future's first six albums would be recorded with Rocko's A1 Recordings label. According to Rocko however, Future broke the contract by signing to Epic Recordings who distributed Future's albums and made millions with Rocko left in the dark about this whole agreement.
Now, Rocko is taking Future to the courts, seeking $10 million; 25% of this is commission whilst Rocko also feels entitled to 20% from Future's other earnings such as touring and merchandise. Future, who has gained considerable success in the RnB arena collaborating with Drake, Kanye West and Rihanna, took to Twitter with his reaction to Rocko's lawsuit;

Looks like Future is taking Rocko pursuit of justice really seriously!
TMZ have also reported that Future is battling another lawsuit with former partner Ciara. Ciara's beef with Future is over supposed defamation and libel against her and she's seeking damages in the region of $15 million. We take our hats off to Future's lawyers who we hope take the laid-back attitude of the mischief maker himself.
