Russell Wilson and Ciara’s hasty exit from Drake’s Super Bowl party in West Hollywood after Ciara’s ex showed up on stage with the host has made headlines.

Ciara and her ex, rapper Future, have a son together, but the former couple have been in the spotlight due to the discourse surrounding their relationship. The exes went through a custody battle over their son and reports indicated that Ciara broke up their engagement due to Future having an affair with someone else

While Ciara and Russell Wilson’s early exit from the party could be coincidental, or the couple simply did not want to be present while Future made his appearance, many of Ciara's fans displayed their support of the Wilsons’ actions.

One fan named NY stated that "Russell and Ciara said Future isn't allowed to breathe the same air as them".

There are two sides to every story, but most people seem to be on Ciara’s side.

If a former couple’s (one-sided) history could be summed up in one tweet (and in 280 characters), this would be it.

Many fans agreed that the Wilsons did well by being no-drama llamas.

Maybe everyone involved would just rather not occupy the same space together.

Many see the Wilsons’ actions as mature. Others see it as simple as an elementary math equation (2-1=1).

Leaving the drama behind is the general sentiment.

“Protect your peace” is the general sentiment and the rallying cry of Ciara’s supporters.

"THIS THE ONE! I’ve seen a lot of people say they’d have stayed, and I feel like that says a lot about their character. At some point, with growth, you learn to protect your peace at ALL COSTS!" a user named Nae wrote.

If your ex shows up to a party on stage with a mic, leaving might be the best idea to avoid any unnecessary drama.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world . . .

Questions over Russell Wilson's future in Seattle

Russell Wilson and Ciara may have left the Super Bowl party early, but the game itself had plenty of drama.

The Los Angeles Rams became the second team in two consecutive years to win a Super Bowl at their home stadium.

The Cincinnati Bengals came close to winning the big game only two years removed from a season where they had the worst record in the NFL.

While both teams look to make their way back for next year’s Super Bowl, Russell Wilson himself has some questions of his own to answer with regard to whether he will be back with the Seahawks or slinging the football for another team.
