There was once a time, circa "Body Party," when Future and Ciara were one of the best love stories in music. But the two stars broke off their engagement in 2014 amid allegations that Future cheated on Ciara, and since then things have gotten uglier and uglier. That ugliness spilled over into the court of law back in February when Ciara sued Future for $15 million over a string of allegedly slanderous and libelous public remarks regarding her and their custody battle over their son.

Now, per The Jasmine Brand (via TMZ), Future is countersuing Ciara, essentially claiming that he couldn't have damaged her reputation because she's already washed up. His suit reportedly admits that Ciara's fan base is "reasonably large" but describes her most recent album, 2015's Jackie, as a "flop." Future is asking the court to bar Ciara from publicly speaking ill of him and for Ciara to cover the legal costs he's incurred fighting her suit.
