Future appears to confirm that he legally changed his last name to Nayvadius Cash.

Future's infatuation with money reached new heights this week. The rapper confirmed on Instagram that he formally changed his last name to "Cash."

On Wednesday, a report began circulating online indicating the name change. The rapper, born Nayvadius Wilburn, was rumored to have changed his last name this week. While there wasn't any official legal paperwork to confirm the news, Future responded on Instagram.

"Bag secured," Cash wrote. "Da BIGGEST."

The name is fitting after the lucrative year that Future experienced. Earlier this year, the rapper reportedly sold his catalog in a deal valued in the "high eight figures." The rapper struck an agreement with Influence Media Partners to obtain his masters to 612 songs -- between 2004 - 2020) including collaborations alongside Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna.

Following the massive deal this year, Future did a little bit of splurging in the form of a luxury mansion in Miami. The rapper reportedly dished out $16.3M on the Allison Island mansion which boasts seven bedrooms and eight and a half bathrooms.
