According to a reliable source, Future is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the rapper's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 22/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Future for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 41-year-old rapper, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Future so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the rapper have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Atlanta Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Atlanta (Future's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the rapper was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#FuturePOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 21 Dec 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveFuture”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Future?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Future?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
