[Watch] Ciara Hilariously Throws Shade at Future While Announcing Billboard Music Award Nominees

Ciara refused to even say his name aloud.

2016 hasn’t been the smoothest for Ciara and Future in regards to their relationship, with Ciara hitting her ex with a serious lawsuit and Future in turn putting her on blast on social media

The drama has since continued, but this time, the shade is, well, a little bit hilarious.

Ciara was brought on to read the nominees for the 2016 Billboard Music Awards today (April 11), specifically announcing who is in the running for the Top Rap Artist on TV category.

Ciara names off the nominees, Drake, Fetty Wap, Wiz Khalifa and Silentó, completely disregarding her ex by refusing to even say his name. 

In the footage captured, Ciara goes out of her way to avoid the topic and it’s hard not to have a reaction when you watch it. Whether it’s good old-fashioned shade or there are some legal issues that prevented her from acknowledging him, the clip below is just too good.
