No love on the planet quite matches the one a mother is capable of having for her child – even if most of the world perceives that child to be a toxic womanizer. On Monday (November 20), the producer and rapper celebrated his 40th birthday, marking the beginning of a new decade. Based on what we know about the Atlanta native – born Nayvadius DeMun Cash – we're not expecting to see him mature overnight, though we would be happy to see Future settle down a bit and iron out some of the issues with his baby mamas.
The "Mask Off" hitmaker shares eight children with eight women, including Ciara and Joie Chavis. It's no secret most of them have had their share of drama and disagreements, some of which have tainted Future's perception in the public eye. Regardless of this, his mother, Dr. Stephanie Jester, still has lots of love for her firstborn. Over the weekend, she even gave a heartfelt speech at his birthday party, lovingly calling Hendrix her "big baby."

On her IG page, the family matriarch shared a birthday tribute as well. "No matter what mommy will always pray for you and support you through the storm and the sunshine ❤️," she promised the father of eight.
