Well, Future says he shoulda filed first but he was trying his best not to be petty…

Details below…

According to TMZ, Future thinks Ciara doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning a dime off him because SHE is the one who started the smear campaign.

Sources close to Future tell TMZ, the rapper thinks it’s absurd his baby mama filed the slander suit, since she’s talked plenty of trash on him. We’re told he believes Exhibit A is her 2015 platinum selling hit, “I Bet.”

With lyrics like … “You know that it hurts your pride but you thought the grass was greener on the other side. I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else. Somebody better than you? — the song is widely believed to be about Future allegedly cheating on Ciara.

Our source says he could’ve sued over that, but didn’t want to be petty.

Future is reportedly considering a counter suit but apparently he hasn’t seen Ciara’s lawsuit yet since he hasn’t been served.
