Russell Wilson simply tried to wish his wife, Ciara, a happy Mother's Day, but some Future fans are giving him flak for seemingly claiming the rapper's son as his.

Russell's note on social media to Ciara said, "Nothing better than spending time with you. You are an amazing mom & I'm so grateful." Good so far.

Then, he added, "I get to spend the rest of my life with you & raising our kids. I love you!"

The "our" is what has haters jumping on Russ, not-so-kindly reminding him he shouldn't claim another man's kid. In Russell's defense, baby Future spends a majority of his time with mom and stepdad ... thanks to the custody settlement.

On the other hand ... Russ's fans were also quick to jump to his defense.

File this under no good deed goes unpunished, and ... happy baby mama drama day!

Ex-WWE superstar Cameron -- real name Ariane Andrew -- says she has a rule when it comes to dating ... no black guys.

By the way ... she's black.

If you only got your mom flowers for Mother's Day prepare to feel like a total failure of a kid ... 'cause NFL star Julio Jones just told TMZ Sports the best present he got his mom, and it doesn't need a vase.

We got Jones out at Lure and asked him what the first thing he bought when he got into the NFL was ... and DUH, it was something for his mom.

Just what was it? You gotta watch the clip and see ... but don't be surprised if you feel like heading out to the mall after.

Before Daniel Cormier swaps punches with Jon Jones, he's swapping "I Dos" with his fiancee ... and he's got a special request for Dana White when it comes to his wedding gift.

DC is tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend and mother of his 2 children, Salina Deleon, on May 27 -- and says it's something he's been looking forward to for a very long time.

In fact, Daniel says he's been fully involved in the wedding planning -- even mapping out the seating chart (and if you've ever planned a wedding, you know how big of a pain that can be!).

Djimon Hounsou says David Beckham was fun to be around on the set of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," but if he wants acting help ... he'll have to look elsewhere.

We got the actor at LAX and asked him what it was like working with Becks ... no surprise here -- he says it was a lot of fun and he's a cool dude. Djimon also assures us the soccer star looks great in the movie.

But when our guy asks if he'd help Beckham hone his acting skills in wake of some online criticism, his enthusiasm meter goes way down ... and for good reason.

RG3 is about to sign a contract ... a marriage contract -- 'cause he's engaged to his girlfriend Grete Sadeiko ... who just announced she's' pregnant with the NFL star's baby!

Robert Griffin III popped the question to the Florida State University track star during a day out to the beach in Fort Lauderdale ... popping the question while decked out in a red suit.

Obviously, Grete said 'Yes' ... and then posted a statement saying, "Today was the happiest day of my life and the last 8 months have been the most exciting time ever."

She also said, "We are one month away from welcoming our beautiful baby into this world."

This will be RG3's second marriage ... in fact, he JUST finalized his divorce from his college sweetheart Rebecca Liddicoat. They have 1 kid together.

RG3 and Grete's relationship took off quickly -- remember, they got tattoos of each other's names just months into dating.

Scary moment for the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday night ... when catcher Chris Iannetta got hit in the MOUTH with a 93 mph fastball.

Iannetta was on the ground for several minutes with blood dripping from his face.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment -- but appears to be okay.

After the game, D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo said Iannetta was up and walking around.

"Anytime there's head trauma, anytime a pitch hits you in that area, you are never comfortable until a diagnosis is made. So we're using every precaution possible to make sure he's okay."

Lorenzo Fertitta -- the former co-owner of the UFC -- says he supports Dana White's plan to pay Mayweather $100 mil and McGregor $75 mil if they fight ... saying, "They deserve it!"

You know Lorenzo's story ... he and his brother, Frank, invested $2 mil into the UFC back in 2001 before selling it for $4 BILLION in 2016.

He's now launching his own private investment firm but he's still very into the UFC -- and has strong opinions on Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier and Anderson Silva.

Charles Barkley is taking time to shout-out a woman whose charitable contribution made a great impact on his life ... his high school prom date.

We got Barkley in NYC and asked him who he went to prom with ... and not only did he remember, he reminisced about the woman he says showed "mercy" on a short little nobody named Charles.

The woman's name is Amy Shorter ... and TMZ Sports was actually able to track her down and ask her about the date ... which Barkley says was the only one he had during high school.

"I only have great things to say about Charles, we were just teenagers at the time ... I was just a sweet little sophomore who was thrilled to be asked to the prom by my friend, a big sweet senior."

Seems like there's still a flame there ... we're just sayin'.

A championship level boxer -- signed with Mayweather Promotions -- says he's so broke, he's driving Uber to make ends meet.

The fighter is Thomas Dulorme -- whose last fight in January was on Showtime Extreme. Before that, he had fought Terrance Crawford ... one of the top fighters in the world.

So, you can imagine how crazy it was when a boxing fan ordered up an Uber in Vegas back in April and recognized Dulorme in the driver's seat.

Dulorme explained that he was part of Floyd's famous TMT (The Money Team), but says, "I'm part of the team. Not the money."

TMZ Sports spoke with the 27-year-old who says he's explored breaking his deal with TMT -- but he believes it would cost him too much money ... money he doesn't have in the first place.

We reached out to Mayweather Promotions for their side of the story but haven't heard back.

Clearly, there are issues here.

By the way, the passenger in the video tells TMZ Sports he gave Dulorme a good rating on Uber.

It wasn't a little slipup after all ... Jon Jones says he blew lines all weekend long before beating Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 back in 2015.

Jones said the drug bender was part of something he called "a month for the ages" -- explaining how he did a "weekend of cocaine" and then beat Cormier the following weekend.

FYI, Jones had previously admitted the cocaine use after the positive drug test was revealed back in '15 -- but played it down as a one-time slipup saying, "I'm not a cocaine addict by any means or not even a frequent user."

Cormier called Jones a junkie and accused him of also "sandblasting prostitutes" the same weekend. Jones denied sandblasting any prostitutes.

They will fight in July.

2:52 PM PT -- Daniel Cormier says he smacked Jon Jones in the face with a water bottle behind the scenes at the big UFC news conference Friday ... all over comments Jon made about his kid.

"He's a bitch," Cormier said ... "He said something about my kid so I smacked him across the face with a water bottle. Bitch ass n**ga."

Daniel Cormier will finally get his rematch with Jon Jones -- the UFC announced it's happening at UFC 214 in July.

It's one of the most heated rivalries in pro sports -- these guys hate each other with a fiery passion.

Cormier says Jon is a drug abusing, lying, cheating bad person. Jon once invited Daniel to perform oral sex on him.

Jon emerged victorious the first time they fought back in January 2015. Cormier has vowed to avenge the loss ever since.

Ex-Dallas Cowboys linebacker, Rolando McClain, was arrested in Alabama on Friday after a routine traffic stop went south real fast.

Officials in Hartselle, AL say the 27-year-old former University of Alabama star was pulled over in a 2017 GMC truck around 1 PM for having illegal window tinting.

During the stop, the officer smelled weed and searched the vehicle -- turning up marijuana and a pistol for which he did not have a permit.

McClain was arrested and booked for possession of marijuana and carrying a concealed weapon. He was also cited for the window tint. Cops say he was cooperative during the arrest.

Bond's been set at $2,000.

Canelo Alvarez isn't wasting any time getting his body ready for Gennady Golovkin.

The boxing superstar showed off his physique at the end of a workout this week -- and shocker, dude looks good.

Of course, Canelo and GGG are set to throw down in September in what boxing experts are saying could be the best fight of the year.

Are the 49ers trying to sabotage Colin Kaepernick?

It's possible ... according to FS1 star Joy Taylor who says it seems like much of the bad info hitting the media about CK is coming from his old employer.

Taylor went viral on social media this week for taking a strong stand for Colin on "Undisputed" with Skip and Shannon ... saying the QB is being blackballed by NFL owners for being a social justice crusader.

In fact, Taylor says it's not just that Colin's getting the cold shoulder ... but it seems someone is trying to spread false info about him to scare potential suitors. Joy says it seems that info is coming from Santa Clara.

Taylor says there is one way Colin can fight back and it's the only way to truly set the record straight.

Miami Heat star Udonis Haslem says the 2008 Boston Celtics are a bunch of petty whiners who need to GET OVER their beef with Ray Allen ... and he's not mincing his words.

Of course, Allen famously left the Celtics after the '11-'12 season and joined up with the Miami Heat -- and guys like Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo are still upset he left without saying goodbye.

Haslem went on the "Joe Rose Show" on WQAM and said those guys need to grow up. He also took a moment to remind the guys the Miami Heat owned them during the height of the rivalry.
