Nayvadius Cash (born Nayvadius Wilburn on November 20, 1983), better known by his stage name Future, is an American rapper (with a common rapport among the Haitian-American community) and singer from Kirkwood, Atlanta, Georgia. He is signed to the record label Epic Records. He is a cousin of fellow Atlanta rapper Rocko and is cousins with Rico Wade and an associate of the Dungeon Family.

Future has made himself known for his extensive use of auto-tune, giving him a flurry of hit singles such as “Fuck Up Some Commas”, “Turn On The Lights”, among others.

Future is also known for his hook singing on tracks such as “Buy The World”, “U.O.E.N.O, “Loveeeeee Song” & “Pain”.

Future was at one point engaged to singer Ciara and they have a child, Future Jr., but they broke up—due to Future apparently not wanting a very extravagant wedding. He later went on to say:

I can’t have no big wedding on E! News. … I can’t have all these different big media outlets cover my wedding and I’m not comfortable. … I’m not comfortable about where I’m at in my career. I’m not comfortable about compromising about just being the person that I am, being the man that I am. I feel like my better judgment is to go back and record and make music.

He is closely associated to Atlanta producers DJ Esco, Southside, Metro Boomin, Sonny Digital & Zaytoven.
