Having recently released his Free Bandz Gang compilation mixtape, F.B.G.: The Movie, and with “Good Kush & Alcohol” still fuelling the clubs, Future remains a hot commodity. Karen Civil recently sat down with Mr. Pluto, where he touched on a number of subjects, including his collaborations with Drake. Although “Fo Real” hasn’t proved to be the hit we hoped for, the rapper revealed he has another track with Drizzy on his forthcoming Future Hendrix LP, and promises it’s a “lane-changer.”

Future also addressed rumors that he and Epic label mate Ciara are dating, brushing them off by saying “I don’t want to talk about it, but just know she ain’t going nowhere.” However, in another interview with Hot 107.9′s DJ J 1, the ATLien spoke more openly about their relationship and hinted more towards a romance. He described their chemistry as “amazing” and stated that “once the media passes over and all of the foolishness goes past, we gon’ be able to be good,” referring to rumors surrounding a supposed ex-girlfriend.

["Fo Real"] is on the mixtape, ’cause I also have a record [with Drake] for my album. I was just like, I don’t want two records with him on the album when I know this other record in a whole ‘nother lane. It’s a lane-changer.

We are at a time where, I am on Epic, she’s on Epic, I love music, she loves music. And we love being in the studio with each other. We love being around each other and that’s just what it is. The chemistry is there. It’s amazing. She makes me happy, I make her smile.
