Among rap fans, trap music pioneer Future is notorious for his perceived toxicity — both in his music and in his messier-than-usual personal life.

Following the holiday weekend, Future hopped on his Instagram Story on Monday (Dec. 27) and shared a video of himself brandishing a lavish Christmas gift from Joie Chavis, entrepreneur and the mother of their 3-year-old son Hendrix, but spelled her name wrong while thanking her for the gift.
In the clip, the Atlanta rapper is holding up his wrist and showing off a diamond-flushed “Hndrxx” bracelet. In the caption, he wrote, “THANKS JOY” in all caps—with a red heart emoji—which is not the proper spelling of her name.
Whether Future accidentally spelled her name wrong or if it’s a nickname he calls her remains unclear. However, according to BabyNames.com, Joie is a French word for “joy” so maybe Future is not wrong for naming her that after all.
Joie also has “Joy.” as her name in the bio of her Instagram page.
Nevertheless, in an Instagram post about Future’s lavish gift, people were very vocal in the comment section about the rapper misspelling his son’s mother’s name.
“Didn’t even spell her name right. Jesus Devaughn Christ,” one person jokingly wrote. Another user commented, “He ain’t even [spelled] her name right, future different different” and added a cry-laughing face emoji.
Other commenters questioned Joie for giving Future such an expensive gift considering that he reportedly told one of his children’s mothers, Brittni Mealy, that he never loved his other baby mama, Joie Chavis, back in August.
“I don’t look at Joie like I look at you,” Future reportedly said in the leaked audio. “Me and Joie always been friends, super cool.”
The “Way 2 Sexy” rapper then added: “I don’t look at her like someone I love, I never loved her like that, she know that. I never loved her, I never been like, told her ‘I love you.’ You know what I’m sayin’? I never told this girl, I never told Joie ‘I love you’ but we had a good ass friendship. You know what I mean? I ain’t never tell her I love her.”
However, before the audio leak, Mealy called out Future for sending a vile text message to their 8-year-old son, Prince.
Overall, it’s good to see that Future is cordial with at least one of his children’s mothers.

Users were quick to note the typo on Twitter, chuckling that “he ain’t even spell her name right.” Others noted that the expensive-looking gift seemed to imply a closer relationship than the two will admit to, despite rumors that Chavis has been romantically connected with Diddy. We won’t venture into any speculation here; instead, you can check out fans’ reactions to Future’s Christmas gift and his spelling error below.
