Coming off of Beast Mode, 56 Nights, DS2 and his and Drake’s collaboration project What A Time To Be Alive, Future is having the best year of his career. To top it all off, he’s now on the cover of XXL’s 2015 Fall issue.

During the cover story, Future Hendrix talks about his position on the Drake and Meek Mill issues, his feelings about Russell Wilson and Ciara, not being shy anymore, owning a pair of Gucci flip flops and more. Check out a quote below and a behind the scenes clip of the shoot above.

ON HIS FRIENDSHIPS WITH MEEK MILL AND DRAKE:

“On some real shit, I love Meek. And the Drake situation, I feel like genuinely we’ve been building a great relationship over these years. We got history together. We went on a few tours together so it was like, publicly, some things was said and it was took out of context. And even with the situation coming out, we put it all behind us, went on a sold out tour and we built from that and I feel like it’s genuine, it’s authentic and we built trust between each other. So with trust it’s just bringing us closer because in this industry, as you get bigger, I feel like you lose trust for everyone around you. You feel like the people you come in contact with, you can’t trust them. So I feel like it had to happen over years, that couldn’t happen over a few months.”
